Shrnutí:A framework with sets of attacking arguments ( $\textit{SETAF}$ ) is an extension of the well-known Dung’s Abstract Argumentation Frameworks ( $\mathit{AAF}$ s) that allows joint attacks on arguments. In this paper, we provide a translation from Normal Logic Programs ( $\textit{NLP}$ s) to $\textit{SETAF}$ s and vice versa, from $\textit{SETAF}$ s to $\textit{NLP}$ s. We show that there is pairwise equivalence between their semantics, including the equivalence between $L$ -stable and semi-stable semantics. Furthermore, for a class of $\textit{NLP}$ s called Redundancy-Free Atomic Logic Programs ( $\textit{RFALP}$ s), there is also a structural equivalence as these back-and-forth translations are each other’s inverse. Then, we show that $\textit{RFALP}$ s are as expressive as $\textit{NLP}$ s by transforming any $\textit{NLP}$ into an equivalent $\textit{RFALP}$ through a series of program transformations already known in the literature. We also show that these program transformations are confluent, meaning that every $\textit{NLP}$ will be transformed into a unique $\textit{RFALP}$ . The results presented in this paper enhance our understanding that $\textit{NLP}$ s and $\textit{SETAF}$ s are essentially the same formalism.
