Bayesian reasoning plays a significant role both in human rationality and in machine learning. In this paper, we introduce transfinite modal logic, which combines modal logic with ordinal arithmetic, in order to formalize Bayesian reasoning…

Non-iterative normal modal logics are defined by axioms of modal degree 1. In this paper we use calculations with normal forms to determine the set of all possible non-iterative normal modal logics, unimodal propositional extensions of K.…

Let $(\omega^n,\preceq)$ be the direct power of $n$ instances of $(\omega,\leq)$, natural numbers with the standard ordering, $(\omega^n,\prec)$ the direct power of $n$ instances of $(\omega,<)$. We show that for all finite $n$, the modal…

We consider a modal logic that can formalise statements about uncertainty and beliefs such as `I think that my wallet is in the drawer rather than elsewhere' or `I am confused whether my appointment is on Monday or Tuesday'. To do that, we…

We study the finite model property of subframe logics with expressible transitive reflexive closure modality. For $m>0$, let $\mathrm{L}_m$ be the logic defined by axiom $\lozenge^{m+1} p\to \lozenge p\vee p$. We construct filtrations for…

The use of exponentials in linear logic greatly enhances its expressive power. In this paper we focus on nonassociative noncommutative multiplicative linear logic, and systematically explore modal axioms K, T, and 4 as well as the…

This article presents modal versions of resource-conscious logics. We concentrate on extensions of variants of Linear Logic with one minimal non-normal modality. In earlier work, where we investigated agency in multi-agent systems, we have…

We show that for any class of Boolean algebras with an associative operator, if it contains the complex algebra of (P(N), U), its equational theory is undecidable. Equivalently, any associative normal modal logic valid over the frame (P(N),…

Non-classical negations may fail to be contradictory-forming operators in more than one way, and they often fail also to respect fundamental meta-logical properties such as the replacement property. Such drawbacks are witnessed by intricate…

In this paper, we study a new Kripke-style semantics for classical modal logic, named as provability models. We study provability models for the propositional modal logics K, K4, S4 GL, GLP and the interpretability logic ILM. Provability…

I investigate modal group theory for arbitrary homomorphisms. Possibility is interpreted by the existence of a group homomorphism out of the given group, so the semantics is governed by the possibility of collapse: elements may be…

MV-algebras are an algebraic semantics for Lukasiewicz logic and MV-algebras generated by a finite chain are Heyting algebras where the Godel implication can be written in terms of De Morgan and Moisil's modal operators. In our work, a…

Definite descriptions, such as 'the General Chair of KR 2024', are a semantically transparent device for object identification in knowledge representation. In first-order modal logic, definite descriptions have been widely investigated for…

We develop a method for showing that various modal logics that are valid in their countably generated canonical Kripke frames must also be valid in their uncountably generated ones. This is applied to many systems, including the logics of…

In 1988, Ivlev proposed four-valued non-deterministic semantics for modal logics in which the alethic T axiom holds good. Unfortunately, no completeness was proved. In previous work, we proved completeness for some Ivlev systems and…

We show that the satisfiability problem for the variable-free fragment of every modal logic containing classical propositional logic and contained in the weak Grzegorczyk logic is NP-hard. In particular, the variable-free fragments of the…

We consider the operation of sum on Kripke frames, where a family of frames-summands is indexed by elements of another frame. In many cases, the modal logic of sums inherits the finite model property and decidability from the modal logic of…
