In a previous paper, a tableau calculus has been presented, which constitute a decision procedure for hybrid logic with the converse and global modalities and a restricted use of the binder. This work extends such a calculus to multi-modal…
This paper presents the logic QRC$_1$, which is a strictly positive fragment of quantified modal logic. The intended reading of the diamond modality is that of consistency of a formal theory. Predicate symbols are interpreted as…
We present initial limit Datalog, a new extensible class of constrained Horn clauses for which the satisfiability problem is decidable. The class may be viewed as a generalisation to higher-order logic (with a simple restriction on types)…
There has been a significant interest in extending various modal logics with intersection, the most prominent examples being epistemic and doxastic logics with distributed knowledge. Completeness proofs for such logics tend to be…
We study first-order logic over unordered structures whose elements carry a finite number of data values from an infinite domain. Data values can be compared wrt.\ equality. As the satisfiability problem for this logic is undecidable in…
It is proved that the first-order theory of the structure (N,mod) is undecidable. Here mod denotes the operation of computing the remainder for any division between positive integers; i.e. x mod y is the remainder obtained by the division x…
The emptiness and containment problems for probabilistic automata are natural quantitative generalisations of the classical language emptiness and inclusion problems for Boolean automata. It is well known that both problems are undecidable.…
First-order logic, and quantifiers in particular, are widely used in deductive verification. Quantifiers are essential for describing systems with unbounded domains, but prove difficult for automated solvers. Significant effort has been…
$ $We study solutions of difference equations in the rings of sequences and, more generally, solutions of equations with a monoid action in the ring of sequences indexed by the monoid. This framework includes, for example, difference…
We present a concept of uniform encodability of theories and develop tools related to this concept. As an application we obtain general undecidability results which are uniform for large families of structures. In the way, we define…
We introduce and investigate the expressive description logic (DL) ALCSCC++, in which the global and local cardinality constraints introduced in previous papers can be mixed. On the one hand, we prove that this does not increase the…
We prove that, similarly to known PSpace-completeness of recognising FO(<)-definability of the language L(A) of a DFA A, deciding both FO(<,C)- and FO(<,MOD)-definability are PSpace-complete. (Here, FO(<,C) extends the first-order logic…
Adding modular predicates yields a generalization of first-order logic FO over words. The expressive power of FO[<,MOD] with order comparison $x<y$ and predicates for $x \equiv i \mod n$ has been investigated by Barrington, Compton,…
We discuss the question of if and how undecidability might be translatable into physics, in particular with respect to prediction and description, as well as to complementarity games.
We introduce and study single-conclusioned nested sequent calculi for a broad class of intuitionistic multi-modal logics known as "intuitionistic grammar logics (IGLs)." These logics serve as the intuitionistic counterparts of classical…
We consider a first-order logic for the integers with addition. This logic extends classical first-order logic by modulo-counting, threshold-counting and exact-counting quantifiers, all applied to tuples of variables (here, residues are…
The one-variable fragment of any first-order logic may be considered as a modal logic, where the universal and existential quantifiers are replaced by a box and diamond modality, respectively. In several cases, axiomatizations of algebraic…
The study of word equations (or the existential theory of equations over free monoids) is a central topic in mathematics and theoretical computer science. The problem of deciding whether a given word equation has a solution was shown to be…
A normal modal logic is pretransitive, if the modality corresponding to the transitive closure of an accessibility relation is expressible in it. In the present work we establish the finite model property for pretransitive generalizations…
We classify the finite irreducible modules over the conformal superalgebra $K'_{4}$ by their correspondence with finite conformal modules over the associated annihilation superalgebra $\mathcal A(K'_{4})$. This is achieved by a complete…
