We prove a generalization of Maehara's lemma to show that the extensions of classical and intuitionistic first-order logic with a special type of geometric axioms, called singular geometric axioms, have Craig's interpolation property. As a…
While the computation of Craig interpolants for description logics (DLs) with the Craig Interpolation Property (CIP) is well understood, very little is known about the computation and size of interpolants for DLs without CIP or if one aims…
In this chapter, we present six different proofs of Craig interpolation for the modal logic K, each using a different set of techniques (model-theoretic, proof-theoretic, syntactic, automata-theoretic, using quasi-models, and algebraic). We…
A logic has uniform interpolation if its formulas can be projected down to given subsignatures, preserving all logical consequences that do not mention the removed symbols; the weaker property of (Craig) interpolation allows the projected…
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…
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,…
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…
We show a projective Beth definability theorem for logic programs under the stable model semantics: For given programs $P$ and $Q$ and vocabulary $V$ (set of predicates) the existence of a program $R$ in $V$ such that $P \cup R$ and $P \cup…
In this paper, we establish an analogue of Craig Interpolation Property for a many-sorted variant of first-order hybrid logic. We develop a forcing technique that dynamically adds new constants to the underlying signature in a way that…
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…
We formalise and mechanise a construtive, proof theoretic proof of Craig's Interpolation Theorem in Isabelle/HOL. We give all the definitions and lemma statements both formally and informally. We also transcribe informally the formal…
We develop foundations for computing Craig interpolants and similar intermediates of two given formulas with first-order theorem provers that construct clausal tableaux. Provers that can be understood in this way include efficient…
In this article, a model-theoretic approach is proposed to prove that the first-order G\"odel logic, $\mathbf{G}$, as well as its extension $\mathbf{G}^\Delta$ associated with first-order relational languages enjoy the Craig interpolation…
We provide a direct method for proving Craig interpolation for a range of modal and intuitionistic logics, including those containing a "converse" modality. We demonstrate this method for classical tense logic, its extensions with path…
Normal modal logics extending the logic K4.3 of linear transitive frames are known to lack the Craig interpolation property, except some logics of bounded depth such as S5. We turn this `negative' fact into a research question and pursue a…
We study the fixed point property and the Craig interpolation property for sublogics of the interpretability logic $\mathbf{IL}$. We provide a complete description of these sublogics concerning the uniqueness of fixed points, the fixed…
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…
This paper is a study of first-order coherent logic from the point of view of duality and categorical logic. We prove a duality theorem between coherent hyperdoctrines and open polyadic Priestley spaces, which we subsequently apply to prove…
For formulas of the Implicational Propositional Calculus (IPC) that are theorems of the classical Propositional Calculus (PC) we show that PC proofs yield IPC proofs. As a consequence, completeness of PC yields completeness of IPC.
Despite decades of research, there are still a number of concepts commonly found in software programs that are considered challenging for verification: among others, such concepts include concurrency, and the compositional analysis of…
