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…

Isomorphism between formulae is defined with respect to categories formalizing equality of deductions in classical propositional logic and in the multiplicative fragment of classical linear propositional logic caught by proof nets. This…

We define a notion of general uniform interpolant, generalizing the notions of cover and of uniform interpolant and identify situations in which symbol elimination can be used for computing general uniform interpolants. We investigate the…

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…

We present a method for extracting general modules for ontologies formulated in the description logic ALC. A module for an ontology is an ideally substantially smaller ontology that preserves all entailments for a user-specified set of…

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…

Craig interpolation in SMT is difficult because, e. g., theory combination and integer cuts introduce mixed literals, i. e., literals containing local symbols from both input formulae. In this paper, we present a scheme to compute Craig…

This paper develops a general methodology to connect propositional and first-order interpolation. In fact, the existence of suitable skolemizations and of Herbrand expansions together with a propositional interpolant suffice to construct a…

Theory interpolation has found several successful applications in model checking. We present a novel method for computing interpolants for ground formulas in the theory of equality. The method produces interpolants from colored congruence…

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 the non-monotonic system of…

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…
