We give the first cut-free ExpTime (optimal) tableau decision procedure for the logic CPDLreg, which extends Converse-PDL with regular inclusion axioms characterized by finite automata. The logic CPDLreg is the combination of Converse-PDL…

Synthesis of models and strategies is a very important problem in software engineering. The main element here is checking the satisfiability of formulae expressing the specification of a system to be implemented. This paper puts forward a…

We show that Branching-time temporal logics CTL and CTL*, as well as Alternating-time temporal logics ATL and ATL*, are as semantically expressive in the language with a single propositional variable as they are in the full language, i.e.,…

Large language models have demonstrated strong reasoning capabilities in general knowledge question answering. However, their ability to handle temporal information remains limited. To address this limitation, existing approaches often…

Definite descriptions are expressions of the form "the unique $x$ satisfying property $C$," which allow reference to objects through their distinguishing characteristics. They play a crucial role in ontology and query languages, offering an…

We put forward an exponential-time algorithm for deciding branching bisimilarity on normed BPA (Bacis Process Algebra) systems. The decidability of branching (or weak) bisimilarity on normed BPA was once a long standing open problem which…

We introduce a description logic ALCQIO_{b,Re} which adds reachability assertions to ALCQIO, a sub-logic of the two-variable fragment of first order logic with counting quantifiers. ALCQIO_{b,Re} is well-suited for applications in software…

We present a simple theory explaining the construction and the correctness of an incremental and worst-case optimal decision procedure for modal logic with eventualities. The procedure gives an abstract account of important aspects of…

One of the main reasons to employ a description logic such as EL or EL++ is the fact that it has efficient, polynomial-time algorithmic properties such as deciding consistency and inferring subsumption. However, simply by adding negation of…

We study the multiagent epistemic logic CMAELCD with operators for common and distributed knowledge for all coalitions of agents. We introduce Hintikka structures for this logic and prove that satisfiability in such structures is equivalent…

The coalgebraic $\mu$-calculus provides a generic semantic framework for fixpoint logics over systems whose branching type goes beyond the standard relational setup, e.g. probabilistic, weighted, or game-based. Previous work on the…

Propositional linear time temporal logic (LTL) is the standard temporal logic for computing applications and many reasoning techniques and tools have been developed for it. Tableaux for deciding satisfiability have existed since the 1980s.…

We consider the passage time problem for L\'evy processes, emphasising heavy tailed cases. Results are obtained under quite mild assumptions, namely, drift to $-\infty$ a.s. of the process, possibly at a linear rate (the finite mean case),…
