Reachability for piecewise affine systems is known to be undecidable, starting from dimension $2$. In this paper we investigate the exact complexity of several decidable variants of reachability and control questions for piecewise affine…

In general relativity, cosmology and quantum field theory, spacetime is assumed to be an orientable manifold endowed with a Lorentz metric that makes it spatially and temporally orientable. The question as to whether the laws of physics…

We establish an Esakia duality for the categories of temporal Heyting algebras and temporal Esakia spaces. This includes a proof of contravariant equivalence and a congruence/filter/closed-upset correspondence. We then study two notions of…

We study an extension of $\mtl$ in pointwise time with rational expression guarded modality $\reg_I(\re)$ where $\re$ is a rational expression over subformulae. We study the decidability and expressiveness of this extension ($\mtl$+$\varphi…

Nonmonotonic logics are usually characterized by the presence of some notion of 'conditional' that fails monotonicity. Research on nonmonotonic logics is therefore largely concerned with the defeasibility of argument forms and the…

Subexponential logic is a variant of linear logic with a family of exponential connectives--called subexponentials--that are indexed and arranged in a pre-order. Each subexponential has or lacks associated structural properties of weakening…

The Lorentzian length of a timelike curve connecting both endpoints of a classical computation is a function of the path taken through Minkowski spacetime. The associated runtime difference is due to time-dilation: the phenomenon whereby an…

We study local consequence relations in modal extensions of product logic over Kripke models with either valued (fuzzy) or crisp accessibility relations. In both settings, we consider semantics over the full class of product algebras as…

Based on the hypothesis that the (non-reversible) arrow of time is intrinsic in any system, no matter how small, the consequences are discussed. Within the framework of local quantum physics it is shown how such a semi-group action of time…

We consider the decidability of state-to-state reachability in linear time-invariant control systems over discrete time. We analyse this problem with respect to the allowable control sets, which in general are assumed to be defined by…

Probabilistic argumentation allows reasoning about argumentation problems in a way that is well-founded by probability theory. However, in practice, this approach can be severely limited by the fact that probabilities are defined by adding…

Dyck reachability is the standard formulation of a large domain of static analyses, as it achieves the sweet spot between precision and efficiency, and has thus been studied extensively. Interleaved Dyck reachability (denoted $D_k\odot…
