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…

Traditionally, research on Craig interpolation is concerned with (a) establishing the Craig interpolation property (CIP) of a logic saying that every valid implication in the logic has a Craig interpolant and (b) designing algorithms that…

In this article, a model-theoretic approach is proposed to prove that the first-order G\"odel logic, $\mathbf{G}$, as well as its extension $\mathbf{G}^\Delta$ associated with first-order relational languages enjoy the Craig interpolation…

We study the fixed point property and the Craig interpolation property for sublogics of the interpretability logic $\mathbf{IL}$. We provide a complete description of these sublogics concerning the uniqueness of fixed points, the fixed…
