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…

In logics with the Craig interpolation property (CIP) the existence of an interpolant for an implication follows from the validity of the implication. In logics with the projective Beth definability property (PBDP), the existence of an…

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 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…

We consider interpolation from the viewpoint of fully automated theorem proving in first-order logic as a general core technique for mechanized knowledge processing. For Craig interpolation, our focus is on the two-stage approach, where…

In this paper we prove that the uniform one-dimensional guarded fragment, which is a natural polyadic generalization of the guarded two-variable logic, has the Craig interpolation property. We will also prove that the satisfiability problem…

Uniform interpolation is the property that, for any formula and set of atoms, there exists the strongest consequence omitting those atoms. It plays a central role in knowledge representation and reasoning tasks such as knowledge update and…

We introduce Craig interpolation and related notions such as uniform interpolation, Beth definability, and theory decomposition in classical propositional logic. We present four approaches to computing interpolants: via quantifier…

In this article we show that bi-intuitionistic predicate logic lacks the Craig Interpolation Property. We proceed by adapting the counterexample given by Mints, Olkhovikov and Urquhart for intuitionistic predicate logic with constant…

A logic satisfies the interpolation property provided that whenever a formula {\Delta} is a consequence of another formula {\Gamma}, then this is witnessed by a formula {\Theta} which only refers to the language common to {\Gamma} and…

We try to bring to light some combinatorial structure underlying formal proofs in logic. We do this through the study of the Craig Interpolation Theorem which is properly a statement about the structure of formal derivations. We show that…

Interpolation-based techniques become popular in recent years, as they can improve the scalability of existing verification techniques due to their inherent modularity and local reasoning capabilities. Synthesizing Craig interpolants is the…

We provide a general and syntactically-defined family of sequent calculi, called \emph{semi-analytic}, to formalize the informal notion of a "nice" sequent calculus. We show that any sufficiently strong (multimodal) substructural logic with…

The problem of computing Craig Interpolants has recently received a lot of interest. In this paper, we address the problem of efficient generation of interpolants for some important fragments of first order logic, which are amenable for…

The uniform interpolation property in a given logic can be understood as the definability of propositional quantifiers. We mechanise the computation of these quantifiers and prove correctness in the Coq proof assistant for three modal…
