Tableaux for epistemic G\"{o}del logic
Abstract
We propose a multi-agent epistemic logic capturing reasoning with degrees of plausibility that agents can assign to a given statement, with interpreted as "entirely plausible for the agent" and as "completely implausible" (i.e., the agent knows that the statement is false). We formalise such reasoning in an expansion of G\"{o}del fuzzy logic with an involutive negation and multiple -like modalities. As already G\"{o}del single-modal logics are known to lack the finite model property w.r.t. their standard -valued Kripke semantics, we provide an alternative semantics that allows for the finite model property. For this semantics, we construct a strongly terminating tableaux calculus that allows us to produce finite counter-models of non-valid formulas. We then use the tableaux to show that the validity problem in our logic is -complete when there are two or more agents, and -complete for the single-agent case.
