contents While the computation of Craig interpolants for description logics (DLs) with the Craig Interpolation Property (CIP) is well understood, very little is known about the computation and size of interpolants for DLs without CIP or if one aims at interpolating concepts in a weaker DL than the DL of the input ontology and concepts. In this paper, we provide the first elementary algorithms computing (i) ALC-interpolants between ALC-concepts under ALCH-ontologies and (ii) ALC-interpolants between ALCQ-concepts under ALCQ-ontologies. The algorithms are based on recent decision procedures for interpolant existence. We also observe that, in contrast, uniform (possibly depth restricted) interpolants might be of non-elementary size.
