In ALC, $\boxed{\text{only (ii)}}$ is representable over the given symbols. It is the general concept inclusionEquivalently, use one general concept inclusion for each category. Unary predicates become description logic concepts and the supervision predicate becomes a description logic role.

Sentence (i) depends on a ternary predicate evaluated at two named constants. Basic ALC has unary description logic concepts and binary description logic roles, with no constructor for that course-and-year slice of a ternary predicate. Sentence (iii) uses a counting function and a comparison relation that basic ALC cannot express. Replacing these conditions by freshly named description logic concepts would give an informal encoding, but would not define their meanings or establish equivalence in the supplied vocabulary.

A fragment has the finite model property if $\boxed{\text{every satisfiable sentence in the fragment has a finite model}}$. This does not mean that every model is finite, nor that there is one uniform bound on model size for the entire fragment.

ALC has the finite model property, including satisfiability with respect to finite TBoxes. A tableau algorithm for ALC uses finitely many possible labels and direct blocking in description logic to obtain a finite representation of a model. The resulting finite-model claim is a property of the logic; termination alone, for an arbitrary procedure, would not establish it.

Full first-order logic does not have the finite model property. For example, the first-order sentencerequires an irreflexive transitive relation with a successor for every element. It is satisfied by the usual strict order on the natural numbers. In a nonempty finite domain, repeatedly taking successors eventually repeats an element; transitivity would then force $R(x,x)$, contradicting irreflexivity. Hence this satisfiable first-order sentence has no finite model.

The standard semantics of ALC and EL do not impose the unique name assumption. Therefore the two individual names may denote the same element. A minimum-size model of either normalized TBox from part (d), together with the ABox, isThe $R$ self-loop supplies the ABox fact and makes both $\exists R.A$ and $\exists R.X$ true at $d$. The $P$ self-loop supplies exactly the existential restriction defining $C$. Disjointness holds because $B$ is empty. Hence every normalized general concept inclusion is satisfied. A domain must be nonempty, so $\boxed{|{\Delta }^{\mathcal{I}}|=1}$ is minimal.

If a separate unique name assumption were imposed, the minimum would instead be two. One can take $a\ne b$, $A=\{a\}$, $C=\{b\}$, $R=\{(a,b)\}$, $P=\{(b,b)\}$ and $B=X=\varnothing$. There is then no $R$-edge ending at an $A$ element, so the normalized requirements involving $X$ hold vacuously. That additional convention is not part of standard description logic semantics.

The satisfiability problem is $\boxed{\text{decidable}}$. Partition the positive facts according to their predicate symbols. Let ${\mathcal{A}}_{\mathcal{T}}$ contain those using description logic concepts or description logic roles from $\mathcal{T}$. Run an ordinary ALC knowledge base consistency procedure on $(\mathcal{T},{\mathcal{A}}_{\mathcal{T}})$. Return no if it is inconsistent, and yes otherwise.

The no answer is sound because any model of the whole knowledge base would restrict to a model of $(\mathcal{T},{\mathcal{A}}_{\mathcal{T}})$. For the converse, take a model $\mathcal{I}$ of that ALC part. Keep its domain, individual interpretations and TBox predicates. Interpret every predicate used by the positive Datalog rules as the full relation of its arity on this same domain. This is possible because those predicates are disjoint from the TBox predicates. Every Datalog rule head is then true under every variable assignment, so every positive rule and every remaining positive fact is satisfied. Predicates occurring only in facts can likewise be interpreted as full relations. Any individual name not already interpreted can denote an arbitrary domain element.

Consequently,The argument depends on both restrictions in the question: disjoint predicate vocabularies and positive rule heads. A rule concluding $\perp$ would not be made true by filling all relations. Sharing constants alone causes no problem, since the expansion uses the same domain and the same interpretations of those constants.

The assumption that distinct individual names denote distinct domain elements. Standard ALC semantics does not impose it; Herbrand interpretations do treat distinct ground terms as distinct elements.
