Decidability of predicate logics with team semantics

Logic in Computer Science 2016-06-21 v2 Computational Complexity Logic

Abstract

We study the complexity of predicate logics based on team semantics. We show that the satisfiability problems of two-variable independence logic and inclusion logic are both NEXPTIME-complete. Furthermore, we show that the validity problem of two-variable dependence logic is undecidable, thereby solving an open problem from the team semantics literature. We also briefly analyse the complexity of the Bernays-Sch\"onfinkel-Ramsey prefix classes of dependence logic.
