One advantage of paraconsistent logic is that it can deal with inconsistencies without making the system trivial. However, unlike classical propositional calculus, its deductive system is limited, and the meaning of paraconsistent negation…
In this paper we consider two points of views to the problem of coherent integration of distributed data. First we give a pure model-theoretic analysis of the possible ways to `repair' a database. We do so by characterizing the…
Matching logic is a logical framework for specifying and reasoning about programs using pattern matching semantics. A pattern is made up of a number of structural components and constraints. Structural components are syntactically matched,…
A semantics is given to possibilistic logic, a logic that handles weighted classical logic formulae, and where weights are interpreted as lower bounds on degrees of certainty or possibility, in the sense of Zadeh's possibility theory. The…
In this paper, we deal with the problem of putting together modal worlds that operate in different logic systems. When evaluating a modal sentence $\Box \varphi$, we argue that it is not sufficient to inspect the truth of $\varphi$ in…
Cathoristic logic is a multi-modal logic where negation is replaced by a novel operator allowing the expression of incompatible sentences. We present the syntax and semantics of the logic including complete proof rules, and establish a…
This paper undertakes a foundational inquiry into logical inferentialism with particular emphasis on the normative standards it establishes and the implications these pose for classical logic. The central question addressed herein is: 'What…
Matching Logic is a framework for specifying programming language semantics and reasoning about programs. Its formulas are called patterns and are built with variables, symbols, connectives and quantifiers. A pattern is a combination of…
This paper is an attempt to solve the following problem: given a logic, how to turn it into a paraconsistent one? In other words, given a logic in which \emph{ex falso quodlibet} holds, how to convert it into a logic not satisfying this…
This thesis develops a framework for formalizing reasoning about specifications of systems written in LF. This formalization centers around the development of a reasoning logic that can express the sorts of properties which arise in…
Coalition Logic studies what coalitions can enforce. Recent work treats inability as simple non-ability: $\neg\Eff{C}\varphi$. This conflates two distinct configurations -- a coalition unable to force $\varphi$ may still force…
We show the functional completeness for the connectives of the non-trivial negation inconsistent logic C by using a well-established method implementing purely proof-theoretic notions only. Firstly, given that C contains a strong negation,…
In this article, we have introduced a Logic of Formal Inconsistency (LFI) that we call $\vd$. This logic is non-self-extensional, i.e., the replacement property, or the rule for substitution of equivalents, does not hold. A Hilbert-style…
Hybrid logic with binders is an expressive specification language. Its satisfiability problem is undecidable in general. If frames are restricted to N or general linear orders, then satisfiability is known to be decidable, but of…
Any system based on axioms is incomplete because the axioms cannot be proven from the system, just believed. But one system can be less-incomplete than other. Neutrosophy is less-incomplete than many other systems because it contains them.…
We present a comprehensive programme analysing the decomposition of proof systems for non-classical logics into proof systems for other logics, especially classical logic, using an algebra of constraints. That is, one recovers a proof…
We further develop the formal foundations of Paraconsistent Belief Revision (PBR) by introducing Logics of Formal Inconsistency (LFIs) specifically designed to support the development of epistemic entrenchment-based models for belief…
In spatial databases, incompatibilities often arise due to different choices of origin or unit of measurement (e.g., centimeters versus inches). By representing and querying the data in an affine-invariant manner, we can avoid these…
I deal with two approaches to proof-theoretic semantics: one based on argument structures and justifications, which I call reducibility semantics, and one based on consequence among (sets of) formulas over atomic bases, called base…
The present work presents some results about the categorial relation between logics and its categories of structures. A (propositional, finitary) logic is a pair given by a signature and Tarskian consequence relation on its formula algebra.…
