Traditionally, research on Craig interpolation is concerned with (a) establishing the Craig interpolation property (CIP) of a logic saying that every valid implication in the logic has a Craig interpolant and (b) designing algorithms that…

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…

We consider (logical) reasoning for regular expressions with lookahead (REwLA). In this paper, we give an axiomatic characterization for both the (match-)language equivalence and the largest substitution-closed equivalence that is sound for…

Models of complex systems are widely used in the physical and social sciences, and the concept of layering, typically building upon graph-theoretic structure, is a common feature. We describe an intuitionistic substructural logic called…

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…

Dynamic logic is a modal logic for reasoning about programs. A cyclic proof system is a proof system that allows proofs containing cycles and is an alternative to a proof system containing (co-)induction. This paper introduces a sequent…

We develop a formal framework for the behavioral comparison of linear systems across different time domains. We accomplish this by introducing the notion of system interpolation, which determines whether the input-state trajectories of a…

We propose a new version of generalized probabilistic propositional logic, namely, discrete-continuous logic (DCL) in which every generalized proposition (GP) is represented as 2x2 nondiagonal positive matrix with unit trace. We demonstrate…

When modeling real world domains we have to deal with information that is incomplete or that comes from sources with different trust levels. This motivates the need for managing uncertainty in the Semantic Web. To this purpose, we…

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…

Craig interpolation has become a versatile algorithmic tool for improving software verification. Interpolants can, for instance, accelerate the convergence of fixpoint computations for infinite-state systems. They also help improve the…

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…

Cyclic proof theory studies proofs where cycles are allowed. This is useful for developing proof theory for logics with fixpoint operators: cycles can be used to represent the unfolding of a fixpoint. However, this cyclic character is not…
