Many problems can be specified by patterns of propositional formulae depending on a parameter, e.g. the specification of a circuit usually depends on the number of bits of its input. We define a logic whose formulae, called "iterated…

Query answering under existential rules -- implications with existential quantifiers in the head -- is known to be decidable when imposing restrictions on the rule bodies such as frontier-guardedness [BLM10, BLMS11]. Query answering is also…

We show that strict deterministic propositional dynamic logic with intersection is highly undecidable, solving a problem in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. In fact we show something quite a bit stronger. We introduce the…

The problem of \emph{regular separability} asks, given two languages $K$ and $L$, whether there exists a regular language $S$ with $K\subseteq S$ and $S\cap L=\emptyset$. This problem has recently been studied for various classes of…

It was recently shown that the theory of linear stochastic systems can be viewed as a particular case of the theory of linear systems on a certain commutative ring of power series in a countable number of variables. In the present work we…

We extend the inflationary fixed-point logic, IFP, with a new kind of second-order quantifiers which have (poly-)logarithmic bounds. We prove that on ordered structures the new logic $\exists^{\log^{\omega}}\text{IFP}$ captures the limited…

We introduce a novel logical notion--partial entailment--to propositional logic. In contrast with classical entailment, that a formula P partially entails another formula Q with respect to a background formula set \Gamma intuitively means…

The paper considers algorithmic properties of classical and non-classical first-order logics and theories in bounded languages. The main idea is to prove the undecidability of various fragments of classical and non-classical first-order…

In the propositional modal (and algebraic) treatment of two-variable first-order logic equality is modelled by a `diagonal' constant, interpreted in square products of universal frames as the identity (also known as the `diagonal')…

We show that the unification problem `is there a substitution instance of a given formula that is provable in a given logic?' is undecidable for basic modal logics K and K4 extended with the universal modality. It follows that the…

For a division ring $\mathbb F$, the polynomials $f\in\mathbb F$ can be evaluated "on the left" and "on the right" giving rise to left and right Lagrange interpolation problems. The problems containig interpolation conditions of the same…

We provide the first (non-labelled) sequent calculi for bimodal provability logics with "usual" provability predicates. In particular, we introduce calculi for the logics CS, CSM and ER. Additionally, we present non-wellfounded versions of…

The plan existence problem asks, given a goal in the form of a formula in modal logic, an initial epistemic state (a pointed Kripke model), and a set of epistemic actions, whether there exists a sequence of actions that can be applied to…

Uniform interpolation property (UIP) is a strengthening of Craig interpolation property. It can be understood as the definability of propositional quantifiers. This paper develops the sequent calculi provided in Murai and Sano (2020),…

We show that if $\mathbb{R} = A \cup B$ is a partition of $\mathbb{R}$ into two suborders $A$ and $B$, then there is an open interval $I$ such that $A \cap I$ is not order-isomorphic to $B \cap I$. The proof depends on the completeness of…
