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…

Differential dynamic logic (dL) is a formal framework for specifying and reasoning about hybrid systems, i.e., dynamical systems that exhibit both continuous and discrete behaviors. These kinds of systems arise in many safety- and…

The Probabilistic Computational Tree Logic (PCTL) is the main specification formalism for discrete probabilistic systems modeled by Markov chains. Despite serious research attempts, the decidability of PCTL satisfiability and validity…

Dynamic logic is a powerful framework for reasoning about imperative programs. An extension with a concurrent operator [18] was introduced to formalise programs running in parallel. In other direction, other authors proposed a systematic…

Defeasible statements are statements that are likely, or probable, or usually true, but may occasionally be false. Plausible reasoning makes conclusions from statements that are either facts or defeasible statements without using numbers.…

We introduce a non-wellfounded proof system for intuitionistic logic extended with inductive and co-inductive definitions, based on a syntax in which fixpoint formulas are annotated with explicit variables for ordinals. We explore the…

We investigate the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problem for probabilistic computation-tree logic (PCTL) where operators are not restricted by any step bounds. We establish decidability for several fragments containing…

Boolean automata networks, genetic regulation networks, and metabolic networks are just a few examples of biological modelling by discrete dynamical systems (DDS). A major issue in modelling is the verification of the model against the…

Classical probability theory is formulated using sets. In this paper, we extend classical probability theory with propositional computability logic. Unlike other formalisms, computability logic is built on the notion of events/games, which…

Sequential hypothesis testing asks for decision rules that update as data arrive. A natural goal is \emph{eventual correctness}: the rule may change its mind early on, but it should make only finitely many wrong decisions almost surely.…

We present a theory of parameterized dynamic logic, namely DLp, for specifying and reasoning about a rich set of program models based on their transitional behaviours. Different from most dynamic logics that deal with regular expressions or…

This paper is about the computability of the modal definability problem in classes of frames determined by Euclidean modal logics. We characterize those Euclidean modal logics such that the classes of frames they determine give rise to an…

We combine quantified differential dynamic logic (QdL) for reasoning about the possible behavior of distributed hybrid systems with temporal logic for reasoning about the temporal behavior during their operation. Our logic supports…

Propositional dynamic logic (PDL) is an important modal logic used to specify and reason about the behavior of software. A challenging problem in the context of PDL is solving fixed-point equations, i.e., formulae of the form $x \equiv…

Propositional logics in general, considered as a set of sentences, can be undecidable even if they have "nice" representations, e.g., are given by a calculus. Even decidable propositional logics can be computationally complex (e.g., already…

While probability theory is normally applied to external environments, there has been some recent interest in probabilistic modeling of the outputs of computations that are too expensive to run. Since mathematical logic is a powerful tool…
