Research Type Theoretical We characterize the latter by NP(R), a novel generalization of NP over semiring R, and link it to well-known complexity classes. While NP(R) is unlikely to be contained in FPSPACE(POLY) in general, for a wide range of commutative (resp. in addition idempotent) semirings, there are reductions to #P (resp. NP) and solutions are thus only mildly harder to compute. We finally discuss NP(R)-complete reasoning problems in well-known semiring formalisms, among them Semiring-based Constraint Satisfaction Problems, obtaining new insights into their computational properties.
