Sequent-Type Proof Systems for Three-Valued Default Logic

Logic in Computer Science 2019-05-14 v1 Logic

Abstract

Sequent-type proof systems constitute an important and widely-used class of calculi well-suited for analysing proof search. In my master's thesis, I introduce sequent-type calculi for a variant of default logic employing \Lukasiewicz's three-valued logic as the underlying base logic. This version of default logic has been introduced by Radzikowska addressing some representational shortcomings of standard default logic. More specifically, the calculi discussed in my thesis axiomatise brave and skeptical reasoning for this version of default logic, respectively following the sequent method first introduced in the context of nonmonotonic reasoning by Bonatti and Olivetti, which employ a complementary calculus for axiomatising invalid formulas, taking care of expressing the consistency condition of defaults.
