The worst-case performance of an optimization method on a problem class can be analyzed using a finite description of the problem class, known as interpolation conditions. In this work, we study interpolation conditions for linear operators…

The uniform interpolation property in a given logic can be understood as the definability of propositional quantifiers. We mechanise the computation of these quantifiers and prove correctness in the Coq proof assistant for three modal…

The Craig interpolation property (CIP) states that an interpolant for an implication exists iff it is valid. The projective Beth definability property (PBDP) states that an explicit definition exists iff a formula stating implicit…

None of the first-order modal logics between $\mathsf{K}$ and $\mathsf{S5}$ under the constant domain semantics enjoys Craig interpolation or projective Beth definability, even in the language restricted to a single individual variable. It…

In this chapter, we present six different proofs of Craig interpolation for the modal logic K, each using a different set of techniques (model-theoretic, proof-theoretic, syntactic, automata-theoretic, using quasi-models, and algebraic). We…

There are exactly two maximal schematic extensions of the relevant logic R with the variable sharing property. We establish that one of them has a strong form of interpolation for deducibility, thereby giving an example of a well-known…

We give a complete characterization of limiting interpolation spa\-ces for the real method of interpolation using extrapolation theory. For this purpose the usual tools (e.g., Boyd indices or the boundedness of Hardy type operators) are not…

In this chapter we give a basic overview of known results regarding Craig interpolation for first-order logic as well as for fragments of first-order logic. Our aim is to provide an entry point into the literature on interpolation theorems…

Craig interpolation in SMT is difficult because, e. g., theory combination and integer cuts introduce mixed literals, i. e., literals containing local symbols from both input formulae. In this paper, we present a scheme to compute Craig…

We focus on the persistence principle over weak interpretability logic. Our object of study is the logic obtained by adding the persistence principle to weak interpretability logic from several perspectives. Firstly, we prove that this…

We prove a generalization of Maehara's lemma to show that the extensions of classical and intuitionistic first-order logic with a special type of geometric axioms, called singular geometric axioms, have Craig's interpolation property. As a…

In logics with the Craig interpolation property (CIP) the existence of an interpolant for an implication follows from the validity of the implication. In logics with the projective Beth definability property (PBDP), the existence of an…

It was proved by Maksimova in 1977 that exactly eight varieties of Heyting algebras have the amalgamation property, and hence exactly eight axiomatic extensions of intuitionistic propositional logic have the deductive interpolation…

In this article, a model-theoretic approach is proposed to prove that the first-order G\"odel logic, $\mathbf{G}$, as well as its extension $\mathbf{G}^\Delta$ associated with first-order relational languages enjoy the Craig interpolation…

Interpolation is an important property of classical and many non-classical logics that has been shown to have interesting applications in computer science and AI. Here we study the Interpolation Property for the the non-monotonic system of…
