Modern categorical logic as well as the Kripke and topological models of intuitionistic logic suggest that the interpretation of ordinary "propositional" logic should in general be the logic of subsets of a given universe set. Partitions on…
This paper develops an algorithmic-based approach for proving inductive properties of propositional sequent systems such as admissibility, invertibility, cut-elimination, and identity expansion. Although undecidable in general, these…
Justification logics are modal-like logics that provide a framework for reasoning about justifications. This paper introduces labeled sequent calculi for justification logics, as well as for hybrid modal-justification logics. Using the…
We show that numerous distinctive concepts of constructive mathematics arise automatically from an "antithesis" translation of affine logic into intuitionistic logic via a Chu/Dialectica construction. This includes apartness relations,…
Bilateralists hold that the meanings of the connectives are determined by rules of inference for their use in deductive reasoning with asserted and denied formulas. This paper presents two bilateral connectives comparable to Prior's tonk,…
We give a linear nested sequent calculus for the basic normal tense logic Kt. We show that the calculus enables backwards proof-search, counter-model construction and syntactic cut-elimination. Linear nested sequents thus provide the…
We extend description logics (DLs) with non-monotonic reasoning features. We start by investigating a notion of defeasible subsumption in the spirit of defeasible conditionals as studied by Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor in the propositional…
Using the Hilbert-Bernays account as a spring-board, we first define four ways in which two objects can be discerned from one another, using the non-logical vocabulary of the language concerned. (These definitions are based on definitions…
We consider interpolation from the viewpoint of fully automated theorem proving in first-order logic as a general core technique for mechanized knowledge processing. For Craig interpolation, our focus is on the two-stage approach, where…
Subatomic logic is a recent innovation in structural proof theory where atoms are no longer the smallest entity in a logical formula, but are instead treated as binary connectives. As a consequence, we can give a subatomic proof system for…
In this article we show how any formula A with a proof in minimal implicational logic that is super-polynomially sized has a polynomially-sized proof in classical implicational propositional logic . This fact provides an argument in favor…
We prove completeness, interpolation, decidability and an omitting types theorem for certain multi dimensional modal logics where the states are not abstract entities but have an inner structure. The states will be sequences. Our approach…
Intuitionistic grammar logics fuse constructive and multi-modal reasoning while permitting the use of converse modalities, serving as a generalization of standard intuitionistic modal logics. In this paper, we provide definitions of these…
Proof formats for SAT solvers have diversified over the last decade, enabling new features such as extended resolution-like capabilities, very general extension-free rules, inclusion of proof hints, and pseudo-boolean reasoning.…
We introduce and study single-conclusioned nested sequent calculi for a broad class of intuitionistic multi-modal logics known as "intuitionistic grammar logics (IGLs)." These logics serve as the intuitionistic counterparts of classical…
We discuss the problem of finding non-trivial invariants of non-deterministic, symmetric cut-reduction procedures in the classical sequent calculus. We come to the conclusion that (an enriched version of) the propositional fragment of GS4…
We are considering the algebraic structure of the Pawlak-Brouwer-Zadeh lattice to distinguish vagueness due to imprecision from ambiguity due to coarseness. We show that a general class of many-valued logics useful for reasoning about data…
We introduce infinitary action logic with exponentiation -- that is, the multiplicative-additive Lambek calculus extended with Kleene star and with a family of subexponential modalities, which allows some of the structural rules…
We study propositional and first-order G\"odel logics over infinitary languages which are motivated semantically by corresponding interpretations into the unit interval [0,1]. We provide infinitary Hilbert-style calculi for the particular…
We review four areas of theoretical computer science which share technical or philosophical ideas with the work of Belnap on his useful four-valued logic. Perhaps surprisingly, the inspiration by Belnap-Dunn logic is acknowledged only in…
