In this paper we study the expressive power and definability for (extended) modal languages interpreted on topological spaces. We provide topological analogues of the van Benthem characterization theorem and the Goldblatt-Thomason…
We consider propositional modal logic with two modal operators $\Box$ and $\D$. In topological semantics $\Box$ is interpreted as an interior operator and $\D$ as difference. We show that some important topological properties are…
We show that descriptive complexity's result extends in High Order Logic to capture the expressivity of Turing Machine which have a finite number of alternation and whose time or space is bounded by a finite tower of exponential. Hence we…
Topological semantics for modal logic based on the Cantor derivative operator gives rise to derivative logics, also referred to as d-logics. Unlike logics based on the topological closure operator, d-logics have not previously been studied…
We study expressibility in infinitary languages of the modal operators associated with satisfiability of sentences of these languages in submodels and extensions of models. We give a syntactic criterion for expressibility in finitary…
It is shown that, modulo an equivalence relation induced by finite correspondences preserving Cantor rank, the class of topological spaces is an integral semi-ring on which the Cantor derivative is precisely a derivation.
Regular languages are closed under a wealth of formal language operators. Incorporating such operators in regular expressions leads to concise language specifications, but the transformation of such enhanced regular expressions to finite…
In this paper, we study computational complexity and expressive power of modal operators for definite descriptions, which correspond to statements `the modal world which satisfies formula \(varphi\)'. We show that adding such operators to…
There has been an increasing interest in topological semantics for epistemic logic, which has been shown to be useful for, e.g., modelling evidence, degrees of belief, and self-reference. We introduce a polytopological PDL capable of…
We study two notions of expressiveness, which have appeared in abstraction theory for model checking, and find them incomparable in general. In particular, we show that according to the most widely used notion, the class of Kripke Modal…
Copatterns give functional programs a flexible mechanism for responding to their context, and composition can greatly enhance their expressiveness. However, that same expressive power makes it harder to precisely specify the behavior of…
In this chapter we study modal logics of topological spaces in the combined language with the derivational modality and the difference modality. We give axiomatizations and prove completeness for the following classes: all spaces,…
We study the topological $\mu$-calculus, based on both Cantor derivative and closure modalities, proving completeness, decidability and FMP over general topological spaces, as well as over $T_0$ and $T_D$ spaces. We also investigate…
Second-order transitive-closure logic, SO(TC), is an expressive declarative language that captures the complexity class PSPACE. Already its monadic fragment, MSO(TC), allows the expression of various NP-hard and even PSPACE-hard problems in…
Topological semantics for modal logic based on the Cantor derivative operator gives rise to derivative logics, also referred to as $d$-logics. Unlike logics based on the topological closure operator, $d$-logics have not previously been…
We revisit evaluation of logical formulas that allow both uninterpreted relations, constrained to be finite, as well as an interpreted vocabulary over an infinite domain. This formalism was denoted embedded finite model theory in the past.…
Cantor's ordinal numbers, a powerful extension of the natural numbers, are a cornerstone of set theory. They can be used to reason about the termination of processes, prove the consistency of logical systems, and justify some of the core…
This paper proposes an extension to classical regular expressions by the addition of two operators allowing the inclusion of boolean formulae from the zeroth order logic. These expressions are called constrained expressions. The associated…
We extend the {\lambda}-calculus with constructs suitable for relational and functional-logic programming: non-deterministic choice, fresh variable introduction, and unification of expressions. In order to be able to unify…
In translation surfaces of finite area (corresponding to holomorphic differentials), directions of saddle connections are dense in the unit circle. On the contrary, saddle connections are fewer in translation surfaces with poles…
