Abstract
One of the most important relationships between programs (in any program-
ming language) is the equivalence of such programs. This relationship is at the
basis of most, if not all, programming methodologies. This paper provides a
systematic comparison of the relative strengths of various formulations of
equivalence for logic programs. It also introduces the notion of subsumption-
equivalence, which is used to give syntactic characterizations of the programs
Ρ for which the function T
p
satisfies some continuity properties.
