Full first order linear logic can be presented as an abstract logic programming language in Miller's system Forum, which yields a sensible operational interpretation in the 'proof search as computation' paradigm. However, Forum still has to…
The branch of provability logic investigates the provability-based behavior of the mathematical theories. In a more precise way, it studies the relation between a mathematical theory $T$ and a modal logic $L$ via the provability…
While modal extensions of decidable fragments of first-order logic are usually undecidable, their monodic counterparts, in which formulas in the scope of modal operators have at most one free variable, are typically decidable. This only…
For substructural logics with contraction or weakening admitting cut-free sequent calculi, proof search was analyzed using well-quasi-orders on $\mathbb{N}^d$ (Dickson's lemma), yielding Ackermannian upper bounds via controlled bad-sequence…
In this paper we provide a unifying description of different types of semantics of modal logic found in the literature via the framework of topological categories. In the style of categorical logic, we establish an exact correspondence…
In this paper, we investigate Rosser provability predicates whose provability logics are normal modal logics. First, we prove that there exists a Rosser provability predicate whose provability logic is exactly the normal modal logic ${\sf…
Canonical models are of central importance in modal logic, in particular as they witness strong completeness and hence compactness. While the canonical model construction is well understood for Kripke semantics, non-normal modal logics…
We study the topological $\mu$-calculus, based on both Cantor derivative and closure modalities, proving completeness, decidability and FMP over general topological spaces, as well as over $T_0$ and $T_D$ spaces. We also investigate…
We extend the theoretical framework of proof mining by establishing general logical metatheorems that allow for the extraction of the computational content of theorems with prima facie "non-computational" proofs from probability theory,…
Graded modal logics generalise standard modal logics via families of modalities indexed by an algebraic structure whose operations mediate between the different modalities. The graded "of-course" modality $!_r$ captures how many times a…
In this note, by integrating ideas concerning terminating tableaux-based procedures in modal logics and finite frame property of intuitionistic modal logic IK, we provide new and simpler decidability proofs for FIK and LIK.
The continuous modal mu-calculus is a fragment of the modal mu-calculus, where the application of fixpoint operators is restricted to formulas whose functional interpretation is Scott-continuous, rather than merely monotone. By…
We present a sequent calculus for the weak Grzegorczyk logic Go allowing non-well-founded proofs and obtain the cut-elimination theorem for it by constructing a continuous cut-elimination mapping acting on these proofs.
The logic of bunched implications (BI) is a substructural logic that forms the backbone of separation logic, the much studied logic for reasoning about heap-manipulating programs. Although the proof theory and metatheory of BI are…
In this paper, we present a proof system $\mathsf{GL}_{+}^{\top\bot}$, which is based on a sequent system $\mathsf{K}_{+}^{\top\bot}$ given by Dunn, for the positive fragment of $\mathsf{GL}$. Positive modal formulas are modal formulas that…
Representations are essential to mathematically model phenomena, but there are many options available. While each of those options provides useful properties with which to solve problems related to the phenomena in study, comparing results…
Chase algorithms are indispensable in the domain of knowledge base querying, which enable the extraction of implicit knowledge from a given database via applications of rules from a given ontology. Such algorithms have proved beneficial in…
This paper gives a broad account of the various sequent-based proof formalisms in the proof-theoretic literature. We consider formalisms for various modal and tense logics, intuitionistic logic, conditional logics, and bunched logics. After…
We give a simple and direct proof that super-consistency implies the cut elimination property in deduction modulo. This proof can be seen as a simplification of the proof that super-consistency implies proof normalization. It also takes…
Ordered logics and type systems have been used in a variety of applications including computational linguistics, memory allocation, stream processing, logical frameworks, parametricity, and enforcing security protocols. In most…
