We present Metatheory, a comprehensive library for programming language foundations in Lean 4. The library features a modular framework for proving confluence of abstract rewriting systems using three classical proof techniques: the diamond…
We present a logical system that combines the well-known classical epistemic concepts of belief and knowledge with a concept of evidence such that the intuitive principle \textit{`evidence yields belief and knowledge'} is satisfied. Our…
The Kripke semantics of classical propositional normal modal logic is made algebraic via an embedding of Kripke structures into the larger class of pointed stably supported quantales. This algebraic semantics subsumes the traditional…
In 1933, G\"odel considered two modal approaches to describing provability. One captured formal provability and resulted in the logic GL and Solovay's Completeness Theorem. The other was based on the modal logic S4 and led to Artemov's…
There are two fundamentally different approaches to specifying and verifying properties of systems. The logical approach makes use of specifications given as formulae of temporal or modal logics and relies on efficient model checking…
This paper investigates the logical strength of completeness theorems for modal propositional logic within second-order arithmetic. We demonstrate that the weak completeness theorem for modal propositional logic is provable in…
LF is a dependent type theory in which many other formal systems can be conveniently embedded. However, correct use of LF relies on nontrivial metatheoretic developments such as proofs of correctness of decision procedures for LF's…
In this paper we define intensional models for the classical theory of types, thus arriving at an intensional type logic ITL. Intensional models generalize Henkin's general models and have a natural definition. As a class they do not…
We derive a Prolog theorem prover for an Intuitionistic Epistemic Logic by starting from the sequent calculus {\bf G4IP} that we extend with operator definitions providing an embedding in intuitionistic propositional logic ({\bf IPC}). With…
Theorem proving is one of the oldest applications which require heuristics to prune the search space. Invertible proof procedures has been the major tool. In this paper, we present a novel and powerful heuristic called $nongshim$ which can…
We present the system G3S5, a Gentzen-style sequent calculus system for the modal propositional logic S5, which in a sense has the subformula property. We formulate the rules of G3 S5 in the system G3S5; which has the subformula property…
We present a family of minimal modal logics (namely, modal logics based on minimal propositional logic) corresponding each to a different classical modal logic. The minimal modal logics are defined based on their classical counterparts in…
In this paper, we study the provability logic of intuitionistic theories of arithmetic that prove their own completeness. We prove a completeness theorem for theories equipped with two provability predicates $\Box$ and $\triangle$ that…
Justification logics are an explication of modal logic; boxes are replaced with proof terms formally through realisation theorems. This can be achieved syntactically using a cut-free proof system e.g. using sequent, hypersequent or nested…
The modal systems S1--S3 were introduced by C. I. Lewis as logics for strict implication. While there are Kripke semantics for S2 and S3, there is no known natural semantics for S1. We extend S1 by a Substitution Principle SP which…
Thomason \cite{Thomason74} showed that a certain modal logic $\mathbf{L}\subset \mathbf{S4}$ is incomplete with respect to Kripke semantics. Later Gerson \cite{Gerson75} showed that $\mathbf{L}$ is also incomplete with respect to…
It is well known that the resolution method (for propositional logic) is complete. However, completeness proofs found in the literature use an argument by contradiction showing that if a set of clauses is unsatisfiable, then it must have a…
In theorem provers based on dependent type theory such as Coq and Lean, induction is a fundamental proof method and induction tactics are omnipresent in proof scripts. Yet the ergonomics of existing induction tactics are not ideal: they do…
We give an algebraic proof of the criterion for hereditary structural completeness of an intermediate logic, or, equivalently, of the primitiveness of a variety of Heyting algebras.
Modal dependence logic was introduced recently by V\"a\"an\"anen. It enhances the basic modal language by an operator =(). For propositional variables p_1,...,p_n, =(p_1,...,p_(n-1);p_n) intuitively states that the value of p_n is…
