Focusing, introduced by Jean-Marc Andreoli in the context of classical linear logic, defines a normal form for sequent calculus derivations that cuts down on the number of possible derivations by eagerly applying invertible rules and…
This paper concerns an expansion of first-order Belnap-Dunn logic whose connectives and quantifiers all have a counterpart in classical logic. The language and logical consequence relation of this paradefinite logic are defined, a sequent…
Sequent-type proof systems constitute an important and widely-used class of calculi well-suited for analysing proof search. In my master's thesis, I introduce sequent-type calculi for a variant of default logic employing \Lukasiewicz's…
We give an overview of our formalizations in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL of certain irrationality and transcendence criteria for infinite series from three different research papers: by Erd\H{o}s and Straus (1974), Han\v{c}l (2002),…
This paper constructs a cirquent calculus system and proves its soundness and completeness with respect to the semantics of computability logic (see http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~giorgi/cl.html). The logical vocabulary of the system consists of…
In this note we will show how to get consistency for first order classical logic, in a purely syntactic way, without going through cut elimination. The procedure is very simple and it uses the calculus of structures in an essential way. It…
In the paper I discuss a tool for helping students in their symbolizations of natural language sentences using the formal language of classical first order logic (CFOL). The tool is an extension of Hintikka's concept of (Inquirer's) range…
We propose a hybrid-dynamic first-order logic as a formal foundation for specifying and reasoning about reconfigurable systems. As the name suggests, the formalism we develop extends (many-sorted) first-order logic with features that are…
We introduce a first proofs-as-parallel-programs correspondence for classical logic. We define a parallel and more powerful extension of the simply typed lambda calculus corresponding to an analytic natural deduction based on the excluded…
In quantum information and computation research, symbolic methods have been widely used for human specification and reasoning about quantum states and operations. At the same time, they are essential for ensuring the scalability and…
We present an automated reasoning framework for synthesizing recursion-free programs using saturation-based theorem proving. Given a functional specification encoded as a first-order logical formula, we use a first-order theorem prover to…
Cirquent calculus is a new proof-theoretic and semantic approach introduced for the needs of computability logic by G.Japaridze, who also showed that, through cirquent calculus, one can capture, refine and generalize independence-friendly…
This paper introduces the logic $QLET_{F}$, a quantified extension of the logic of evidence and truth $LET_{F}$, together with a corresponding sound and complete first-order non-deterministic valuation semantics. $LET_{F}$ is a…
In formal proof checking environments such as Mizar it is not merely the validity of mathematical formulas that is evaluated in the process of adoption to the body of accepted formalizations, but also the readability of the proofs that…
Possibilistic logic is a well-known graded logic of uncertainty suitable to reason under incomplete information and partially inconsistent knowledge, which is built upon classical first order logic. There exists for Possibilistic logic a…
Artificial intelligence assisted mathematical proof has become a highly focused area nowadays. One key problem in this field is to generate formal mathematical proofs from natural language proofs. Due to historical reasons, the formal proof…
We present a labelled sequent calculus for Boolean BI, a classical variant of O'Hearn and Pym's logic of Bunched Implication. The calculus is simple, sound, complete, and enjoys cut-elimination. We show that all the structural rules in our…
Proof assistants offer tactics to apply proof by induction, but these tactics rely on inputs given by human engineers. To automate this laborious process, we developed SeLFiE, a boolean query language to represent experienced users'…
Logical frameworks provide natural and direct ways of specifying and reasoning within deductive systems. The logical framework LF and subsequent developments focus on finitary proof systems, making the formalization of circular proof…
A principled approach to the design of program verification and con- struction tools is applied to separation logic. The control flow is modelled by power series with convolution as separating conjunction. A generic construction lifts…
