Recent research has established complexity results for the problem of deciding the existence of interpolants in logics lacking the Craig Interpolation Property (CIP). The proof techniques developed so far are non-constructive, and no…

We study the Lyndon interpolation property (LIP) and the uniform Lyndon interpolation property (ULIP) for extensions of $\mathbf{S4}$ and intermediate propositional logics. We prove that among the 18 consistent normal modal logics of finite…

Interpolation-based techniques have become popularized in recent years because of their inherently modular and local reasoning, which can scale up existing formal verification techniques like theorem proving, model-checking, abstraction…

In this paper we consider Modal Team Logic, a generalization of Classical Modal Logic in which it is possible to describe dependence phenomena between data. We prove that most known fragment of Full Modal Team Logic allow the elimination of…

We provide a spectrum of results for the Universal Guard Problem, in which one is to obtain a small set of points ("guards") that are "universal" in their ability to guard any of a set of possible polygonal domains in the plane. We give…

In this paper, a proof-theoretic method to prove uniform Lyndon interpolation for non-normal modal and conditional logics is introduced and applied to show that the logics $\mathsf{E}$, $\mathsf{M}$, $\mathsf{EN}$, $\mathsf{MN}$,…

The finite satisfiability problem for guarded fixpoint logic is decidable and complete for 2ExpTime (resp. ExpTime for formulas of bounded width).

Over the past two decades several fragments of first-order logic have been identified and shown to have good computational and algorithmic properties, to a great extent as a result of appropriately describing the image of the standard…

We investigate the decidability and computational complexity of (deductive) conservative extensions in fragments of first-order logic (FO), with a focus on the two-variable fragment FO$^2$ and the guarded fragment GF. We prove that…

We study the problem of guarding the boundary of a simple polygon with a minimum number of guards such that each guard covers a contiguous portion of the boundary. First, we present a simple greedy algorithm for this problem that returns a…

We show that the variety of modal lattices has the superamalgamation property. As a consequence, we obtain that the weak positive modal logic has the Craig interpolation property. Our proof employs the recent duality for modal lattices…

The satisfiability and finite satisfiability problems for the two-variable guarded fragment of first-order logic with counting quantifiers, a database, and path-functional dependencies are both ExpTime-complete.

We have recently presented a general method of proving the fundamental logical properties of Craig and Lyndon Interpolation (IPs) by induction on derivations in a wide class of internal sequent calculi, including sequents, hypersequents,…

We introduce a novel decidable fragment of first-order logic. The fragment is one-dimensional in the sense that quantification is limited to applications of blocks of existential (universal) quantifiers such that at most one variable…

We present a proof-theoretical study of the interpretability logic IL, providing a wellfounded and a non-wellfounded sequent calculus for IL. The non-wellfounded calculus is used to establish a cut elimination argument for both calculi. In…

We prove the uniform Lyndon interpolation property (ULIP) of some extensions of the pure logic of necessitation $\mathbf{N}$. For any $m, n \in \mathbb{N}$, $\mathbf{N}^+\mathbf{A}_{m,n}$ is the logic obtained from $\mathbf{N}$ by adding a…
