Dynamic logic is a powerful approach to reasoning about programs and their executions, obtained by extending classical logic with modalities that can express program executions as formulas. However, the use of dynamic logic in the setting…
We define an extension of predicate logic, called Binding Logic, where variables can be bound in terms and in propositions. We introduce a notion of model for this logic and prove a soundness and completeness theorem for it. This theorem is…
Substructural logics are formal logical systems that omit familiar structural rules of classical and intuitionistic logic such as contraction, weakening, exchange (commutativity), and associativity. This leads to a resource-sensitive…
We introduce a notion of the ``explanation" of one (generalized) probabilistic model by another as particular kind of span in the category $\Prob$ of probabilistic models and morphisms. We show that explanations compose under a standard…
This Paper investigate sequent calculi for certain weak subintuitionistic logics. We establish that weakening and contraction are height-preserving admissible for each of these calculi, and we provide a syntactic proof for the admissibility…
We use a simple geometric argument and small cancellation properties of link groups to prove that alternating links are non-trivial. This proof uses only classic results in topology and combinatorial group theory.
We define a fragment of propositional logic where isomorphic propositions, such as $A\land B$ and $B\land A$, or $A\Rightarrow (B\land C)$ and $(A\Rightarrow B)\land(A\Rightarrow C)$ are identified. We define System I, a proof language for…
This paper is a survey of two kinds of "compressed" proof schemes, the \emph{matrix method} and \emph{proof nets}, as applied to a variety of logics ranging along the substructural hierarchy from classical all the way down to the…
This paper presents State Algebra, a novel framework designed to represent and manipulate propositional logic using algebraic methods. The framework is structured as a hierarchy of three representations: Set, Coordinate, and Row…
This work is the first exploration of proof-theoretic semantics for a substructural logic. It focuses on the base-extension semantics (B-eS) for intuitionistic multiplicative linear logic (IMLL). The starting point is a review of…
In this note we will show how to get consistency for first order classical logic, in a purely syntactic way, without going through cut elimination. The procedure is very simple and it uses the calculus of structures in an essential way. It…
An approach to universal (meta-)logical reasoning in classical higher-order logic is employed to explore and study simplifications of Kurt G\"odel's modal ontological argument. Some argument premises are modified, others are dropped, modal…
We present in this paper an adaptation of the process of combination of logics known as fibring introduced by D. Gabbay. We are focused on the combination of two logics defined by matrix semantics, and based on pairs of functions that…
Tarski gave a general semantics for deductive reasoning: a formula a may be deduced from a set A of formulas iff a holds in all models in which each of the elements of A holds. A more liberal semantics has been considered: a formula a may…
The cut-elimination procedure for the provability logic is known to be problematic: a L\"ob-like rule keeps cut-formulae intact on reduction, even in the principal case, thereby complicating the proof of termination. In this paper, we…
Typical arguments for results like Kleene's Second Recursion Theorem and the existence of self-writing computer programs bear the fingerprints of equational reasoning and combinatory logic. In fact, the connection of combinatory logic and…
Almost from the inception of Hilbert's program, foundational and structural efforts in proof theory have been directed towards the goal of clarifying the computational content of modern mathematical methods. This essay surveys various…
When we represent logical, connective implications by directed edges, the resulting set of directed edges can be regarded as a complex network. In this article, we compose a network model that represents a deductive-logic-like structure…
Beginning with a simple semantics for propositions, based on counting observations, it is shown that probabilistic and fuzzy logic correspond to two different heuristic assumptions regarding the combination of propositions whose evidence…
We describe a method for inverting Gentzen's cut-elimination in classical first-order logic. Our algorithm is based on first computign a compressed representation of the terms present in the cut-free proof and then cut-formulas that realize…
