We consider a modal logic that can formalise statements about uncertainty and beliefs such as `I think that my wallet is in the drawer rather than elsewhere' or `I am confused whether my appointment is on Monday or Tuesday'. To do that, we…

This report presents a formalisation of Sylow's theorems done in {\sc Coq}. The formalisation has been done in a couple of weeks on top of Georges Gonthier's {\sc ssreflect} \cite{ssreflect}. There were two ideas behind formalising Sylow's…

Current approaches for formal verification of algorithms face important limitations. For specification, they cannot express algorithms naturally and concisely, especially for algorithms with states and flexible control flow. For…

In this paper, we investigate arithmetical completeness with respect to finite Kripke models of quantified modal logic. We adapt the finite-model embedding techniques of Artemov and Japaridze to two settings involving finite Kripke models.…

We argue that in some KR applications, we want to quantify over sets of concepts formally represented by symbols in the vocabulary. We show that this quantification should be distinguished from second-order quantification and…
