Generalised Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) provide a unifying framework encompassing classical theories, quantum theories, as well as hypothetical alternatives. We investigate the problem of extending a system with a finite set of…

In this paper a conditional logic is defined and studied. This conditional logic, DmBL, is constructed as a deterministic counterpart to the Bayesian conditional. The logic is unrestricted, so that any logical operations are allowed. A…

Transductions are binary relations of finite words. For rational transductions, i.e., transductions defined by finite transducers, the inclusion, equivalence and sequential uniformisation problems are known to be undecidable. In this paper,…

For a linear difference equation with the coefficients being computable sequences, we establish algorithmic undecidability of the problem of determining the dimension of the solution space including the case when some additional prior…

The satisfiability problem for First-order Modal Logic (\FOML) is undecidable even for simple fragments like having only unary predicates, two variables etc. Recently a new way to identify decidable fragments of \FOML has been introduced…

Higher-order beta-matching is the following decision problem: given two simply typed lambda-terms, can the first term be instantiated to be beta-equivalent to the second term? This problem was formulated by Huet in the 1970s and shown…

Thirty years ago, I introduced a non-commutative variant of classical linear logic, called "pomset logic", issued from a particular categorical interpretation of linear logic known as coherence spaces. In addition to the usual commutative…

The probability theory is a well-studied branch of mathematics, in order to carry out formal reasoning about probability. Thus, it is important to have a logic, both for computation of probabilities and for reasoning about probabilities,…

Du, Kakade, Wang, and Yang recently established intriguing lower bounds on sample complexity, which suggest that reinforcement learning with a misspecified representation is intractable. Another line of work, which centers around a…

The logic of uncertainty is not the logic of experience and as well as it is not the logic of chance. It is the logic of experience and chance. Experience and chance are two inseparable poles. These are two dual reflections of one essence,…

Doubts are raised concerning the usual interpretation of the alleged failure, by quantum mechanics, of the distributive law of classical logic. The difficulty raised by incompatible sets of observables is overcome within an epistemic…

Defeasible reasoning is a simple but efficient approach to nonmonotonic reasoning that has recently attracted considerable interest and that has found various applications. Defeasible logic and its variants are an important family of…

We propose a generic framework for establishing the decidability of a wide range of logical entailment problems (briefly called querying), based on the existence of countermodels that are structurally simple, gauged by certain types of…

We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…

Representable implication algebras are known to be axiomatised by a finite number of equations (making the representation and finite representation problems decidable here). We show that this also holds in the context of unary (and binary)…

Term modal logics (TML) are modal logics with unboundedly many modalities, with quantification over modal indices, so that we can have formulas of the form $\exists y. \forall x. (\Box_x P(x,y) \supset\Diamond_y P(y,x))$. Like First order…

We study the two-variable fragments D^2 and IF^2 of dependence logic and independence-friendly logic. We consider the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problems of these logics and show that for D^2, both problems are…

The paper is devoted to modal properties of the ternary strict betweenness relation as used in the development of various systems of geometry. We show that such a relation is non-definable in a basic similarity type with a binary operator…
