We show that the vast majority of extensions of the description logic $\mathcal{EL}$ do not enjoy the Craig interpolation nor the projective Beth definability property. This is the case, for example, for $\mathcal{EL}$ with nominals,…

We show a projective Beth definability theorem for logic programs under the stable model semantics: For given programs $P$ and $Q$ and vocabulary $V$ (set of predicates) the existence of a program $R$ in $V$ such that $P \cup R$ and $P \cup…

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…

Which choices of truth tables and consequence relations for two logics $\mathsf{L}_1$ and $\mathsf{L}_2$ ensure the satisfaction of the following split interpolation property: If two formulas $\phi$ and $\psi$ share at least one…

We present a variation of Maehara's method to construct Craig-Lyndon interpolants for the three-valued propositional logic of here and there (HT), also known as G\"odel's $G_3$, a superintuitionistic logic of importance in logic…

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…

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…

We consider the family of guarded and unguarded ordered logics, that constitute a recently rediscovered family of decidable fragments of first-order logic (FO), in which the order of quantification of variables coincides with the order in…

Uniform interpolation property (UIP) is a strengthening of Craig interpolation property. It can be understood as the definability of propositional quantifiers. This paper develops the sequent calculi provided in Murai and Sano (2020),…

As well known, weak K4 and the difference logic DL do not enjoy the Craig interpolation property. Our concern here is the problem of deciding whether any given implication does have an interpolant in these logics. We show that the…

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of proof-theoretic methods for establishing interpolation properties across a range of logics, including classical, intuitionistic, modal, and substructural logics. Central to the discussion…

This paper considers the problem of assumptions refinement in the context of unrealizable specifications for reactive systems. We propose a new counterstrategy-guided synthesis approach for GR(1) specifications based on Craig's…

A modular proof-theoretic framework was recently developed to prove Craig interpolation for normal modal logics based on generalizations of sequent calculi (e.g., nested sequents, hypersequents, and labelled sequents). In this paper, we…

Craig interpolation has emerged as an effective means of generating candidate program invariants. We present interpolation procedures for the theories of Presburger arithmetic combined with (i) uninterpreted predicates (QPA+UP), (ii)…

We study the problem of $P$-interpolation, where $P$ is a set of binary predicate symbols, for certain classes of local extensions of a base theory. For computing the $P$-interpolating terms, we use a hierarchic approach: This allows us to…

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…
