Research Type Theoretical Our main positive results are for ontologies in DLs ALCIO and ALCI: we prove that for TBoxes of modal depth 1 (i.e. without nesting of existential or universal quantifiers) standard reasoning problems under pointwise circumscription are (co)NEXPTIME-complete and EXPTIMEcomplete, respectively. Our decidability results are achieved using the mosaic technique [N emeti, 1992]: we show that the existence of a pointwise minimal model can be reduced to checking the existence of a finite family of fragments of models that can be assembled into a model. With a reduction from the domino problem, we prove that under the pointwise semantics reasoning w.r.t. circumscribed ALCIO TBoxes of unbounded depth is undecidable.
