Recent research has established complexity results for the problem of deciding the existence of interpolants in logics lacking the Craig Interpolation Property (CIP). The proof techniques developed so far are non-constructive, and no…

In \cite{Craig}, we introduced a syntactically defined and highly general class of calculi known as \emph{semi-analytic}. We then demonstrated that any sufficiently strong (modal) substructural logic with a semi-analytic calculus must…

We present a Coq formalization of the Quantified Reflection Calculus with one modality, or $\mathsf{QRC}_1$. This is a decidable, strictly positive, and quantified modal logic previously studied for its applications in proof theory. The…

This work presents a formalized proof of modal completeness for G\"odel-L\"ob provability logic (GL) in the HOL Light theorem prover. We describe the code we developed, and discuss some details of our implementation, focusing on our choices…

We propose a simple, yet expressive proof representation from which proofs for different proof assistants can easily be generated. The representation uses only a few inference rules and is based on a frag- ment of first-order logic called…

In [17], we introduced a modal logic, called $L$, which combines intuitionistic propositional logic $IPC$ and classical propositional logic $CPC$ and is complete w.r.t. an algebraic semantics. However, $L$ seems to be too weak for…

A modular proof-theoretic framework was recently developed to prove Craig interpolation for normal modal logics based on generalizations of sequent calculi (e.g., nested sequents, hypersequents, and labelled sequents). In this paper, we…

We present an automated verification of the well-known modal logic cube in Isabelle/HOL, in which we prove the inclusion relations between the cube's logics using automated reasoning tools. Prior work addresses this problem but without…

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…

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…

We study uniform interpolation and forgetting in the description logic ALC. Our main results are model-theoretic characterizations of uniform inter- polants and their existence in terms of bisimula- tions, tight complexity bounds for…

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…

Craig interpolation and uniform interpolation have many applications in knowledge representation, including explainability, forgetting, modularization and reuse, and even learning. At the same time, many relevant knowledge representation…

In this paper, a proof-theoretic method to prove uniform Lyndon interpolation for non-normal modal and conditional logics is introduced and applied to show that the logics $\mathsf{E}$, $\mathsf{M}$, $\mathsf{EN}$, $\mathsf{MN}$,…

We start a systematic investigation of the size of Craig interpolants, uniform interpolants, and strongest implicates for (quasi-)normal modal logics. Our main upper bound states that for tabular modal logics, the computation of strongest…

Propositional term modal logic is interpreted over Kripke structures with unboundedly many accessibility relations and hence the syntax admits variables indexing modalities and quantification over them. This logic is undecidable, and we…

We use the connection between automata and logic to prove that a wide class of coalgebraic fixpoint logics enjoys uniform interpolation. To this aim, first we generalize one of the central results in coalgebraic automata theory, namely…
