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…
We investigate the proof complexity of extended Frege (EF) systems for basic transitive modal logics (K4, S4, GL, ...) augmented with the bounded branching axioms $\mathbf{BB}_k$. First, we study feasibility of the disjunction property and…
In the standard sequent presentations of Girard's Linear Logic (LL), there are two "non-decreasing" rules, where the premises are not smaller than the conclusion, namely the cut and the contraction rules. It is a universal concern to…
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…
Term modal logics (TML) are modal logics with unboundedly many modalities, with quantification over modal indices, so that we can have formulas of the form $\exists y. \forall x. (\Box_x P(x,y) \supset\Diamond_y P(y,x))$. Like First order…
Ensuring large language model (LLM) reliability requires distinguishing objective unsolvability (inherent contradictions) from subjective capability limitations (tasks exceeding model competence). Current LLMs often conflate these…
We prove that the sequent calculus $\mathsf{L_{RBL}}$ for residuated basic logic $\mathsf{RBL}$ has strong finite model property, and that intuitionistic logic can be embedded into basic propositional logic $\mathsf{BPL}$. Thus…
Given a structure $M$ we introduce infinitary logic expansions, which generalise the Morleyisation. We show that these expansions are tame, in the sense that they preserve and reflect both the Embedding Ramsey Property (ERP) and the…
We investigate the logical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) and their scalability in complex non-monotonic reasoning. To this end, we introduce ZebraLogic, a comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing LLM…
We provide decidability and undecidability results on the model-checking problem for infinite tree structures. These tree structures are built from sequences of elements of infinite relational structures. More precisely, we deal with the…
LogicWeb has traditionally lacked devices for dealing with intractable queries. We address this limitation by adopting length-bounded inference, a form of approximate reasoning. A length-bounded inference is of the form $prov(P,G,n)$ which…
Each Multiplicative Exponential Linear Logic (MELL) proof-net can be expanded into a differential net, which is its Taylor expansion. We prove that two different MELL proof-nets have two different Taylor expansions. As a corollary, we prove…
We examine some combinatorial properties of parallel cut elimination in multiplicative linear logic (MLL) proof nets. We show that, provided we impose a constraint on some paths, we can bound the size of all the nets satisfying this…
We systematically investigate the complexity of model checking the existential positive fragment of first-order logic. In particular, for a set of existential positive sentences, we consider model checking where the sentence is restricted…
Motivated by applications in declarative data analysis, we study $\mathit{Datalog}_{\mathbb{Z}}$---an extension of positive Datalog with arithmetic functions over integers. This language is known to be undecidable, so we propose two…
Description Logics (DLs) are a family of knowledge representation formalisms mainly characterised by constructors to build complex concepts and roles from atomic ones. Expressive role constructors are important in many applications, but can…
We give a proof-theoretic and algorithmic complexity analysis for systems introduced by Morrill to serve as the core of the CatLog categorial grammar parser. We consider two recent versions of Morrill's calculi, and focus on their fragments…
We introduce a sequent calculus FL' for non-commutative substructural logic. It has at most one formula on the right side of sequent, and excludes three structural inference rules, i.e. contraction, weakening and exchange. (FL' is based on…
This paper presents a tableau calculus for finding a model for a set-satisfiable finite set of formulas of an extended fuzzy logic BL, a fuzzy logic BL with additional Baaz connective and the involutive negation, if such a model exists. The…
We investigate the decidability and computational complexity of conservative extensions and the related notions of inseparability and entailment in Horn description logics (DLs) with inverse roles. We consider both query conservative…
