Dynamic logic is a modal logic for reasoning about programs. A cyclic proof system is a proof system that allows proofs containing cycles and is an alternative to a proof system containing (co-)induction. This paper introduces a sequent…
We generalize the validity criterion for the infinitary proof system of the multiplicative additive linear logic with fixed points. Our criterion is designed to take into account axioms and cuts. We show that it is sound and enjoys the cut…
We present an extension of an algorithm for computing directly the denotation of a mu-calculus formula X over the configuration graph of a pushdown system to allow backwards modalities. Our method gives the first extension of the saturation…
It is known that the alternation hierarchy of least and greatest fixpoint operators in the mu-calculus is strict. However, the strictness of the alternation hierarchy does not necessarily carry over when considering restricted classes of…
Cyclic proof systems for Heyting and Peano arithmetic eschew induction axioms by accepting proofs which are finite graphs rather than trees. Proving that such a cyclic proof system coincides with its more conventional variants is often…
We present a formal system, E, which provides a faithful model of the proofs in Euclid's Elements, including the use of diagrammatic reasoning.
We propose a $\lambda$-calculus-style formal language, called the $\mu$-syntax, as a lightweight representation of the structure of cyclic operads. We illustrate the rewriting methods behind the formalism by giving a complete step-by-step…
We present an algorithm for computing the integral closure of a reduced ring that is finitely generated over a finite field.
Computability logic is a formal theory of computability. The earlier article "Introduction to cirquent calculus and abstract resource semantics" by Japaridze proved soundness and completeness for the basic fragment CL5 of computability…
We explore the theory of illfounded and cyclic proofs for the propositional modal $\mu$-calculus. A fine analysis of provability for classical and intuitionistic modal logic provides a novel bridge between finitary, cyclic and illfounded…
A cyclic proof system is a proof system whose proof figure is a tree with cycles. The cut-elimination in a proof system is fundamental. It is conjectured that the cut-elimination in the cyclic proof system for first-order logic with…
We study limit cycles in piecewise complex systems with switching manifold $\mathbb{S}^1$. Using M\"obius transformations we establish an equivalence between circular and straight-line discontinuities that preserves periods, stability, and…
The Circularity Principle was successfully applied for developing a coinductive proving technique, known as circular coinduction. In this paper, we show that the same principle can be used to develop an inductive proving technique. A main…
Circular (or cyclic) proofs have received increasing attention in recent years, and have been proposed as an alternative setting for studying (co)inductive reasoning. In particular, now several type systems based on circular reasoning have…
The system $\mathsf{Clo}$ is a cyclic, cut-free proof system for the modal $\mu$-calculus. It was introduced by Afshari & Leigh as an intermediate system in their intent to show the completeness of Kozen's axiomatisation for the modal…
We develop a new algorithm for fitting circles that does not have drawbacks commonly found in existing circle fits. Our fit achieves ultimate accuracy (to machine precision), avoids divergence, and is numerically stable even when fitting…
Cyclic proof theory breaks tradition by allowing certain infinite proofs: those that can be represented by a finite graph, while satisfying a soundness condition. We reconcile cyclic proofs with traditional finite proofs: we extend abstract…
Automata operating on infinite objects feature prominently in the theory of the modal $\mu$-calculus. One such application concerns the tableau games introduced by Niwi\'{n}ski & Walukiewicz, of which the winning condition for infinite…
Circular proofs, introduced by Daniyar Shamkanov, are proofs in which assumptions are allowed that are not axioms but do appear at least twice along a branch. Shamkanov has shown that a formula belongs to the provability logic GL exactly if…
Recursive techniques have recently been introduced into quantum programming so that a variety of large quantum circuits and algorithms can be elegantly and economically programmed. In this paper, we present a proof system for formal…
