(non-)shrinking semantics of aggregates

Hi all,

I hope someone of you can help in answering my question: In [1] (e.g. page 8 and 11) I read about "shrinking" and "non-shrinking semantics" of aggregates with a reference to the paper at [2]. However, in [2] the word "shrinking" does not appear a single time.

So I wonder, if the reference is a mistake, or maybe I'm just blind and can't find the explanation in [2]. After all, I just would like to know where to find a proper definition of shrinking and non-shrinking semantics.

Thanks!
