In this paper we explore the design of sequent calculi operating on graphs. For this purpose, we introduce a set of logical connectives allowing us to extend the correspondence between cographs and classical propositional formulas to any…

For substructural logics with contraction or weakening admitting cut-free sequent calculi, proof search was analyzed using well-quasi-orders on $\mathbb{N}^d$ (Dickson's lemma), yielding Ackermannian upper bounds via controlled bad-sequence…

We present new descriptive complexity characterisations of classes REG (regular languages), LCFL (linear context-free languages) and CFL (context-free languages) as restrictions on inference rules, size of formulae and permitted connectives…

In this paper we consider an approach where both propositions and the accessibility relation are infinitely many-valued over G\"{o}del algebras. In particular, we consider separately the $\Box $-fragment and the $\Diamond $-fragment of our…

G3-style sequent calculi for the logics in the cube of non-normal modal logics and for their deontic extensions are studied. For each calculus we prove that weakening and contraction are height-preserving admissible, and we give a syntactic…

We introduce the subject of modal model theory, where one studies a mathematical structure within a class of similar structures under an extension concept that gives rise to mathematically natural notions of possibility and necessity. A…

The decidability of axiomatic extensions of the modal logic K with modal reduction principles, i.e. axioms of the form $\Diamond^{k} p \rightarrow \Diamond^{n} p$, has remained a long-standing open problem. In this paper, we make…

We study local consequence relations in modal extensions of product logic over Kripke models with either valued (fuzzy) or crisp accessibility relations. In both settings, we consider semantics over the full class of product algebras as…

Cut-elimination is the bedrock of proof theory. It is the algorithm that eliminates cuts from a sequent calculus proof that leads to cut-free calculi and applications. Cut-elimination applies to many logics irrespective of their semantics.…

A grammar logic refers to an extension to the multi-modal logic K in which the modal axioms are generated from a formal grammar. We consider a proof theory, in nested sequent calculus, of grammar logics with converse, i.e., every modal…

We introduce a family of comparative plausibility logics over neighbourhood models, generalising Lewis' comparative plausibility operator over sphere models. We provide axiom systems for the logics, and prove their soundness and…

We study model and frame definability of various modal logics. Let ML(A+) denote the fragment of modal logic extended with the universal modality in which the universal modality occurs only positively. We show that a class of Kripke models…

Bi-intuitionistic logic is the conservative extension of intuitionistic logic with a connective dual to implication. It is sometimes presented as a symmetric constructive subsystem of classical logic. In this paper, we compare three sequent…

This paper presents the first in a series of results that allow us to develop a theory providing finer control over the complexity of normalisation, and in particular of cut elimination. By considering atoms as self-dual non-commutative…

We investigate cut-elimination and cut-simulation in impredicative (higher-order) logics. We illustrate that adding simple axioms such as Leibniz equations to a calculus for an impredicative logic -- in our case a sequent calculus for…

Given a class C of finite Kripke frames, we consider the uniform distribution on the frames from C with n states. A formula is almost surely valid in C if the probability that it is valid in a random C-frame with n states tends to 1 as n…

We present a labelled and non-wellfounded calculus for the bimodal provability logic CS. The system is obtained by modelling the Kripke-like semantics of this logic. As in arXiv:2309.00532, we enforce the second-order property of converse…

We present a sequent-style proof system for provability logic GL that admits so-called circular proofs. For these proofs, the graph underlying a proof is not a finite tree but is allowed to contain cycles. As an application, we establish…

Nonmonotonic logics are usually characterized by the presence of some notion of 'conditional' that fails monotonicity. Research on nonmonotonic logics is therefore largely concerned with the defeasibility of argument forms and the…

We introduce cut-free nested sequent systems for a broad class of quantified modal logics (QMLs). The QMLs we consider are semantically defined using relational models that assign both an inner and outer domain to each world. This rich…
