A topological space is \emph{hereditarily $k$-irresolvable} if none of its subspaces can be partitioned into $k$ dense subsets, We use this notion to provide a topological semantics for a sequence of modal logics whose $n$-th member…

We introduce a variation on Barthe et al.'s higher-order logic in which formulas are interpreted as predicates over open rather than closed objects. This way, concepts which have an intrinsically functional nature, like continuity,…

The usual semantics of multi-agent epistemic logic is based on Kripke models, defined in terms of binary relations on a set of possible worlds. Recently, there has been a growing interest in using simplicial complexes rather than graphs, as…

This paper investigates the contingency of logic within the framework of possible world semantics. Possible world semantics captures the meaning of necessitation, i.e., a statement is necessarily true if it holds in all possible worlds.…

The proof theory and semantics of intuitionistic modal logics have been studied by Simpson in terms of Prawitz-style labelled natural deduction systems and Kripke models. An alternative to model-theoretic semantics is provided by…

We define a Kripke semantics for a conditional logic based on the propositional logic $\mathsf{N4}$, the paraconsistent variant of Nelson's logic of strong negation; we axiomatize the minimal system induced by this semantics. The resulting…

The Kripke semantics of various logics arises via categorical dualities between a category of relational frames and their maps, and a category of algebras and logical homomorphisms. When the relational frames are considered as computational…

The theme of the first two sections, is to prepare the framework of how from a "complicated" family of index models I in K_1 we build many and/or complicated structures in a class K_2. The index models are characteristically linear orders,…

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…

We introduce a notion of Kripke model for classical logic for which we constructively prove soundness and cut-free completeness. We discuss the novelty of the notion and its potential applications.

This paper proposes an alternative to standard first-order logic that seeks greater naturalness, generality, and semantic self-containment. The system removes the first-order restriction, avoids type hierarchies, and dispenses with external…

We introduce the class of rational Kripke models and study symbolic model checking of the basic tense logic Kt and some extensions of it in models from that class. Rational Kripke models are based on (generally infinite) rational graphs,…

A standard approach to reduced-order modeling of higher-order linear dynamical systems is to rewrite the system as an equivalent first-order system and then employ Krylov-subspace techniques for reduced-order modeling of first-order…

We introduce an intuitionistic modal logic strictly contained in the intuitionistic modal logic IK and being an appropriate candidate for the title of ``minimal normal intuitionistic modal logic''.

Models capable of "thinking with images" by dynamically grounding their reasoning in visual evidence represent a major leap in multimodal AI. However, replicating and advancing this ability is non-trivial, with current methods often trapped…

We propose a stable model semantics for higher-order logic programs. Our semantics is developed using Approximation Fixpoint Theory (AFT), a powerful formalism that has successfully been used to give meaning to diverse non-monotonic…

Empirical complex systems can be characterized not only by pairwise interactions, but also by higher-order (group) interactions influencing collective phenomena, from metabolic reactions to epidemics. Nevertheless, higher-order networks'…

We investigate a simply typed modal $\lambda$-calculus, $\lambda^{\to\square}$, due to Pfenning, Wong and Davies, where we define a well-typed term with respect to a context stack that captures the possible world semantics in a syntactic…

We look at equivalence relations on the set of models of a theory -- MERs, for short -- such that the class of equivalent pairs is itself an elementary class, in a language appropriate for pairs of models. We provide many examples of…

Non-iterative normal modal logics are defined by axioms of modal degree 1. In this paper we use calculations with normal forms to determine the set of all possible non-iterative normal modal logics, unimodal propositional extensions of K.…
