We introduce the notion of an ordered face structure. The ordered face structures to many-to-one computads are like positive face structures to positive-to-one computads. This allow us to give an explicit combinatorial description of…
A new syntactic characterization of problems complete via Turing reductions is presented. General canonical forms are developed in order to define such problems. One of these forms allows us to define complete problems on ordered…
In recent research, some of the present authors introduced the concept of an n-dimensional Boolean algebra and its corresponding propositional logic nCL, generalising the Boolean propositional calculus to n>= 2 perfectly symmetric truth…
The model theory of a first-order logic called N^4 is introduced. N^4 does not eliminate double negations, as classical logic does, but instead reduces fourfold negations. N^4 is very close to classical logic: N^4 has two truth values;…
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…
A quantitative model of concurrent interaction is introduced. The basic objects are linear combinations of partial order relations, acted upon by a group of permutations that represents potential non-determinism in synchronisation. This…
In a recently launched research program for developing logic as a formal theory of (interactive) computability, several very interesting logics have been introduced and axiomatized. These fragments of the larger Computability Logic aim not…
A standard assumption in the study of logarithmic structures is "fineness", but this assumption is not preserved by intersections, fiber products, and more general limits. We explain how a coherent logarithmic scheme $X$ has a natural…
An alternative proof of the completeness of relational algebra with respect to allowed formulas of first-order logic is presented. The proof relies on the well-known embedding of relational algebra into cylindric algebra, which makes it…
Following the programme set out in Part I of this work, we develop a conceptual higher order differential calculus. The '' local linear algebra '' defined in Part I is generalized by '' higher order local linear algebra ''. The underlying…
To combine and query ordered data from multiple sources, one needs to handle uncertainty about the possible orderings. Examples of such "order-incomplete" data include integrated event sequences such as log entries, lists of properties…
We present some hypersequent calculi for all systems of the classical cube and their extensions with axioms $T$, $P$, $D$, and, for every $n\geq 1$, rule $RD^+_n$. The calculi are internal as they only employ the language of the logic, plus…
We extend the inflationary fixed-point logic, IFP, with a new kind of second-order quantifiers which have (poly-)logarithmic bounds. We prove that on ordered structures the new logic $\exists^{\log^{\omega}}\text{IFP}$ captures the limited…
We extend the {\lambda}-calculus with constructs suitable for relational and functional-logic programming: non-deterministic choice, fresh variable introduction, and unification of expressions. In order to be able to unify…
We study the problem of whether a given finite algebra with finitely many basic operations contains a cube term; we give both structural and algorithmic results. We show that if such an algebra has a cube term then it has a cube term of…
We show that certain spaces of log-integrable functions and operators are complete topological *-algebras with respect to a natural metric space structure. We explore connections with the Nevanlinna class of holomorphic functions.
We introduce a proper display calculus for first-order logic, of which we prove soundness, completeness, conservativity, subformula property and cut elimination via a Belnap-style metatheorem. All inference rules are closed under uniform…
This paper proposes an alternative to standard first-order logic that seeks greater naturalness, generality, and semantic self-containment. The system removes the first-order restriction, avoids type hierarchies, and dispenses with external…
In this paper the 3-valued paraconsistent first-order logic QCiore is studied from the point of view of Model Theory. The semantics for QCiore is given by partial structures, which are first-order structures in which each n-ary predicate R…
We present an algebraic characterization of the complexity classes Logspace and NLogspace, using an algebra with a composition law based on unification. This new bridge between unification and complexity classes is inspired from proof…
