    Abstract

    We analyze the complexity of finite model reasoning in the description logic script A sign ℒ script C sign script Q sign script I sign, i.e. script A sign ℒ script C sign augmented with qualifying number restrictions, inverse roles, and general TBoxes. It turns out that all relevant reasoning tasks such as concept satisfiability and ABox consistency are ExpTIME-complete, regardless of whether the numbers in number restrictions are coded unarily or binarily. Thus, finite model reasoning with script A sign ℒ script C sign script Q sign script I sign is not harder than standard reasoning with script A sign ℒ script C sign script Q sign script I sign.
