Research Type Theoretical The main contribution of this paper is a study of the verification problem for (possible) i-extensions under this revisited definition. In particular, we focus on the complexity characterization of this problem and show that, under several semantics, our revisitation also yields beneficial changes in the complexity. In fact, under the admissible, stable, complete, and grounded semantics, the verification problem, that was shown to be NP-complete in [Baumeister et al., 2018b] for the original i-extension, becomes polynomial-time solvable. In this regard, the proofs of the polynomiality under the complete and the grounded semantics are based on elaborate strategies based on removals/insertions of uncertain arguments and attacks that has no analogous counterpart in the literature. A synopsis of the results on the complexity of the verification problem in [Baumeister et al., 2018b] and of our revisitation is in Table 1.
