We consider a language together with the subword relation, the cover relation, and regular predicates. For such structures, we consider the extension of first-order logic by threshold- and modulo-counting quantifiers. Depending on the…
We show that if we enrich first order logic by allowing quantification over isomorphisms between definable ordered fields the resulting logic, L(Q_{Of}), is fully compact. In this logic, we can give standard compactness proofs of various…
This paper introduces a model theory for resolution on Higher Order Hereditarily Harrop formulae (HOHH), the logic underlying the Lambda-Prolog programming language, and proves soundness and completeness of resolution. The semantics and the…
The construction of first-order logic and set theory gives rise to apparent circularities of mutual dependence, making it unclear which can act as a self-contained starting point in the foundation of mathematics. In this paper, we carry out…
In this work we continue the syntactic study of completeness that began with the works of Immerman and Medina. In particular, we take a conjecture raised by Medina in his dissertation that says if a conjunction of a second-order and a…
Logical Neural Networks (LNNs) are a type of architecture which combine a neural network's abilities to learn and systems of formal logic's abilities to perform symbolic reasoning. LLNs provide programmers the ability to implicitly modify…
We study the Borel-reducibility of isomorphism relations of complete first order theories and show the consistency of the following: For all such theories T and T', if T is classifiable and T' is not, then the isomorphism of models of T' is…
Although contemporary model theory has been called "algebraic geometry minus fields", the formal methods of the two fields are radically different. This dissertation aims to shrink that gap by presenting a theory of logical schemes,…
A set of Maple V R.3/4 computer algebra routines for the analytical solving of 1st. order ODEs, using Lie group symmetry methods, is presented. The set of commands includes a 1st. order ODE-solver and routines for, among other things: the…
This paper develops a categorical framework to clarify the relationship between the completeness and compactness theorems in classical first-order logic. Rather than claiming that different model constructions yield naturally isomorphic…
IFG logic is a variant of the independence-friendly logic of Hintikka and Sandu. We answer the question: ``Which IFG-formulas are equivalent to ordinary first-order formulas?'' We use the answer to show that the ordinary cylindric set…
Classification theory of elementary classes deals with first order (elementary) classes of structures (i.e. fixing a set T of first order sentences, we investigate the class of models of T with the elementary submodel notion). It tries to…
A well-known result of Shelah and Spencer tells us that the almost sure theory for first order language on the random graph sequence $\left\{G(n, cn^{-1})\right\}$ is not complete. This paper proposes and proves what the complete set of…
Absolute algebras are a new type of algebraic structures, endowed with a meaningful notion of infinite sums of operations without supposing any underlying topology. Opposite to the usual definition of operadic calculus, they are defined as…
First-order logic with dependent sorts, such as Makkai's first-order logic with dependent sorts (FOLDS), or Aczel's and Belo's dependently typed (intuitionistic) first-order logic (DFOL), may be regarded as logic enriched dependent type…
The overall goal of this paper is to investigate the theoretical foundations of algorithmic verification techniques for first order linear logic specifications. The fragment of linear logic we consider in this paper is based on the linear…
We introduce a natural Turing-complete extension of first-order logic FO. The extension adds two novel features to FO. The first one of these is the capacity to add new points to models and new tuples to relations. The second one is the…
We introduce the logic FOCN(P) which extends first-order logic by counting and by numerical predicates from a set P, and which can be viewed as a natural generalisation of various counting logics that have been studied in the literature. We…
We show that the class of representable substitution algebras is characterized by a set of universal first order sentences. In addition, it is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for a substitution algebra to be representable is…
Local Completeness Logic (LCL) has been put forward as a program logic for proving both the correctness and incorrectness of program specifications. LCL is an abstract logic, parameterized by an abstract domain that allows combining over-…
