Craig's interpolation theorem (Craig 1957) is an important theorem known for propositional logic and first-order logic. It says that if a logical formula $\beta$ logically follows from a formula $\alpha$, then there is a formula $\gamma$,…
Craig interpolation is a fundamental property of classical and non-classic logics with a plethora of applications from philosophical logic to computer-aided verification. The question of which interpolants can be obtained from an…
We extend classical Propositional Logic (PL) by adding a new primitive binary connective $\varphi|\psi$, intended to represent the "superposition" of sentences $\varphi$ and $\psi$, an operation motivated by the corresponding notion of…
In this article we show that bi-intuitionistic predicate logic lacks the Craig Interpolation Property. We proceed by adapting the counterexample given by Mints, Olkhovikov and Urquhart for intuitionistic predicate logic with constant…
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…
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 prove a generalization of Maehara's lemma to show that the extensions of classical and intuitionistic first-order logic with a special type of geometric axioms, called singular geometric axioms, have Craig's interpolation property. As a…
The interpolant existence problem (IEP) for a logic L is to decide, given formulas P and Q, whether there exists a formula I, built from the shared symbols of P and Q, such that P entails I and I entails Q in L. If L enjoys the Craig…
This chapter surveys some of the main results on interpolation in several of the most prominent families of non-classical logics. Special attention is given to the distinction between the two most commonly studied variants of…
We prove that there are continuum-many axiomatic extensions of the full Lambek calculus with exchange that have the deductive interpolation property. Further, we extend this result to both classical and intuitionistic linear logic as well…
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…
We provide a general and syntactically-defined family of sequent calculi, called \emph{semi-analytic}, to formalize the informal notion of a "nice" sequent calculus. We show that any sufficiently strong (multimodal) substructural logic with…
In this chapter we give a basic overview of known results regarding Craig interpolation for first-order logic as well as for fragments of first-order logic. Our aim is to provide an entry point into the literature on interpolation theorems…
In this article, a model-theoretic approach is proposed to prove that the first-order G\"odel logic, $\mathbf{G}$, as well as its extension $\mathbf{G}^\Delta$ associated with first-order relational languages enjoy the Craig interpolation…
We develop foundations for computing Craig-Lyndon interpolants of two given formulas with first-order theorem provers that construct clausal tableaux. Provers that can be understood in this way include efficient machine-oriented systems…
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…
A logic satisfies the interpolation property provided that whenever a formula {\Delta} is a consequence of another formula {\Gamma}, then this is witnessed by a formula {\Theta} which only refers to the language common to {\Gamma} and…
Interpolation is an important property of classical and many non classical logics that has been shown to have interesting applications in computer science and AI. Here we study the Interpolation Property for the propositional version of the…
In logics with the Craig interpolation property (CIP) the existence of an interpolant for an implication follows from the validity of the implication. In logics with the projective Beth definability property (PBDP), the existence of an…
A logic has uniform interpolation if its formulas can be projected down to given subsignatures, preserving all logical consequences that do not mention the removed symbols; the weaker property of (Craig) interpolation allows the projected…
