We examine the relationships between axiomatic and cyclic proof systems for the partial and total versions of Hoare logic and those of its dual, known as reverse Hoare logic (or sometimes incorrectness logic). In the axiomatic proof systems…

We show that intuitionistic logic is deductively equivalent to Connexive Heyting Logic (CHL), hereby introduced as an example of a strong connexive logic with intuitive semantics. We use the reverse algebraisation paradigm: CHL is presented…

Reachability Logic is a formalism that can be used, among others, for expressing partial-correctness properties of transition systems. In this paper we present three proof systems for this formalism, all of which are sound and complete and…

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…

This paper presents a dynamic logic $d\mathcal{L}_\text{CHP}$ for compositional deductive verification of communicating hybrid programs (CHPs). CHPs go beyond the traditional mixed discrete and continuous dynamics of hybrid systems by…

Mechanized verification of liveness properties for infinite programs with effects and nondeterminism is challenging. Existing temporal reasoning frameworks operate at the level of models such as traces and automata. Reasoning happens at a…

Temporal logic is a very powerful formalism deeply investigated and used in formal system design and verification. Its application usually reduces to solving specific decision problems such as model checking and satisfiability. In these…

Sandqvist gave a proof-theoretic semantics (P-tS) for classical logic (CL) that explicates the meaning of the connectives without assuming bivalance. Later, he gave a semantics for intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL). While soundness…

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…

For each natural number $n$ we study the modal logic determined by the class of transitive Kripke frames in which there are no cycles of length greater than $n$ and no strictly ascending chains. The case $n=0$ is the G\"odel-L\"ob…

This paper introduces two sequent calculi for intuitionistic strong L\"ob logic ${\sf iSL}_\Box$: a terminating sequent calculus ${\sf G4iSL}_\Box$ based on the terminating sequent calculus ${\sf G4ip}$ for intuitionistic propositional…

Infinitary and cyclic proof systems are proof systems for logical formulas with fixed-point operators or inductive definitions. A cyclic proof system is a restriction of the corresponding infinitary proof system. Hence, these proof systems…

This paper investigates the admissibility of the substitution rule in cyclic-proof systems. The substitution rule complicates theoretical case analysis and increases computational cost in proof search since every sequent can be a conclusion…

We consider modal logic extended with the well-known temporal operator 'eventually' and provide a cut-elimination procedure for a cyclic sequent calculus that captures this fragment. The work showcases an adaptation of the reductive…

The present work aims to give a unity of logic via standard sequential, unpolarized games. Specifically, our vision is that there must be mathematically precise concepts of linear refinement and intuitionistic restriction of logic such that…

Inspired by the efficient proof procedures discussed in {\em Computability logic} \cite{Jap03,Japic,Japfin}, we describe a heuristic proof procedure for first-order logic. This is a variant of Gentzen sequent system and has the following…
