The concept of uniform interpolant for a quantifier-free formula from a given formula with a list of symbols, while well-known in the logic literature, has been unknown to the formal methods and automated reasoning community for a long…

We study uniform interpolation and forgetting in the description logic ALC. Our main results are model-theoretic characterizations of uniform inter- polants and their existence in terms of bisimula- tions, tight complexity bounds for…

Uniform interpolation is a strengthening of interpolation that holds for certain propositional logics. The starting point of this chapter is a theorem of A. Pitts, which shows that uniform interpolation holds for intuitionistic…

Uniform interpolation is the property that, for any formula and set of atoms, there exists the strongest consequence omitting those atoms. It plays a central role in knowledge representation and reasoning tasks such as knowledge update and…

We bring an abstract model theory perspective to interpolation. We ask, what is the role of interpolation in the study of extensions of first order logic, such as infinitary logics, generalized quantifiers and higher order logics? The…

In this paper we study interpolation in local extensions of a base theory. We identify situations in which it is possible to obtain interpolants in a hierarchical manner, by using a prover and a procedure for generating interpolants in the…
