In this paper we show that the intuitionistic monotone modal logic $\mathsf{iM}$ has the uniform Lyndon interpolation property (ULIP). The logic $\mathsf{iM}$ is a non-normal modal logic on an intuitionistic basis, and the property ULIP is…

The two-way modal mu-calculus is the extension of the (standard) one-way mu-calculus with converse (backward-looking) modalities. For this logic we introduce two new sequent-style proof calculi: a non-wellfounded system admitting infinite…

We introduce and investigate the notion of uniform Lyndon interpolation property (ULIP) which is a strengthening of both uniform interpolation property and Lyndon interpolation property. We prove several propositional modal logics including…

Craig's interpolation theorem (Craig 1957) is an important theorem known for propositional logic and first-order logic. It says that if a logical formula $\beta$ logically follows from a formula $\alpha$, then there is a formula $\gamma$,…

We try to bring to light some combinatorial structure underlying formal proofs in logic. We do this through the study of the Craig Interpolation Theorem which is properly a statement about the structure of formal derivations. We show that…

Uniform interpolation property (UIP) is a strengthening of Craig interpolation property. It was first established by Pitts(1992) based on a pure proof-theoretic method. UIP in multi-modal $\mathbf{K_n}$, $\mathbf{KD_n}$ and $\mathbf{KT_n}$…

The uniform interpolation property in a given logic can be understood as the definability of propositional quantifiers. We mechanise the computation of these quantifiers and prove correctness in the Coq proof assistant for three modal…
