The aim of this paper is to introduce the logics FFDE and FN4, which are universally free versions of Belnap-Dunn's four-valued logic, also known as the logic of first-degree entailment (FDE), and Nelson's paraconsistent logic QN4 (N-).…
We explore the problem of explaining observations starting from a classically inconsistent theory by adopting a paraconsistent framework. We consider two expansions of the well-known Belnap--Dunn paraconsistent four-valued logic…
Inspired by Hintikka's treatment of question embedding verbs in [8] and the variations of noncontingency operator, we propose a logic with strong noncontingency operator $\blacktriangle$ as the only primitive modality. A proposition is…
Belnap-Dunn's relevance logic, BD, was designed seeking a suitable logical device for dealing with multiple information sources which sometimes may provide inconsistent and/or incomplete pieces of information. BD is a four-valued logic…
In this paper, we argue that the usual approach to modelling knowledge and belief with the necessity modality $\Box$ does not produce intuitive outcomes in the framework of the Belnap--Dunn logic ($\mathsf{BD}$, alias $\mathsf{FDE}$ --…
This paper presents a sound, complete, and decidable analytic tableau system for the logic of evidence and truth \letf, introduced in Rodrigues, Bueno-Soler \& Carnielli (Synthese, DOI: 10.1007/s11229-020-02571-w, 2020). \letf\ is an…
Belnap-Dunn logic, also knows as the logic of First-Degree Entailment, is a logic that can serve as the underlying logic of theories that are inconsistent or incomplete. For various reasons, different expansions of Belnap-Dunn logic with…
We present a novel approach to querying classical inconsistent description logic (DL) knowledge bases by adopting a~paraconsistent semantics with the four Belnapian values: exactly true ($\mathbf{T}$), exactly false ($\mathbf{F}$), both…
This paper presents a unified second order asymptotic framework for conducting inference on parameters of the form $\phi(\theta_0)$, where $\theta_0$ is unknown but can be estimated by $\hat\theta_n$, and $\phi$ is a known map that admits…
This paper concerns an expansion of first-order Belnap-Dunn logic whose connectives and quantifiers all have a counterpart in classical logic. The language and logical consequence relation of this paradefinite logic are defined, a sequent…
This paper introduces the logic $QLET_{F}$, a quantified extension of the logic of evidence and truth $LET_{F}$, together with a corresponding sound and complete first-order non-deterministic valuation semantics. $LET_{F}$ is a…
This paper concerns an expansion of first-order Belnap-Dunn logic, named $\mathrm{BD}^{\supset,\mathsf{F}}$, and an application of this logic in the area of relational database theory. The notion of a relational database, the notion of a…
We introduce a paraconsistent expansion of the G\"{o}del logic with a De Morgan negation $\neg$ and modalities $\blacksquare$ and $\blacklozenge$. We equip it with Kripke semantics on frames with two (possibly fuzzy) relations: $R^+$ and…
Definition Extraction (DE) is one of the well-known topics in Information Extraction that aims to identify terms and their corresponding definitions in unstructured texts. This task can be formalized either as a sentence classification task…
We introduce a proper display calculus for first-order logic, of which we prove soundness, completeness, conservativity, subformula property and cut elimination via a Belnap-style metatheorem. All inference rules are closed under uniform…
In this paper, we consider classes of decision tables with many-valued decisions closed relative to removal of attributes (columns) and changing sets of decisions assigned to rows. For tables from an arbitrary closed class, we study a…
Defeasible conditionals are a form of non-monotonic inference which enable the expression of statements like "if $\phi$ then normally $\psi$". The KLM framework defines a semantics for the propositional case of defeasible conditionals by…
In this paper, we study questions of definability and decidability for infinite algebraic extensions ${\bf K}$ of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$ and their subrings of $\mathcal{S}$-integral functions. We focus on fields ${\bf K}$ satisfying a local…
We extend the epistemic logic with De Morgan negation by Fagin et al. (Artif. Intell. 79, 203-240, 1995) by adding operators for universal and common knowledge in a group of agents, and with a formalization of information update using a…
The central open question in Descriptive Complexity is whether there is a logic that characterizes deterministic polynomial time (PTIME) on relational structures. Towards this goal, we define a logic that is obtained from first-order logic…
