Let $\alpha\geq 2$ be any ordinal. We consider the class $\mathsf{Drs}_{\alpha}$ of relativized diagonal free set algebras of dimension $\alpha$. With same technique, we prove several important results concerning this class. Among these…

Given a class C of finite Kripke frames, we consider the uniform distribution on the frames from C with n states. A formula is almost surely valid in C if the probability that it is valid in a random C-frame with n states tends to 1 as n…

Each relational structure X has an associated Gaifman graph, which endows X with the properties of a graph. Suppose that X is infinite, connected and of bounded degree. A first-order sentence in the language of X is almost surely true…

Much study has been done on semigroups which are unions of groups. There are several ways in which a union of groups can be made into a semigroup in which each of the component groups arises as subgroups of the constructed semigroup. An…

Propositional logic serves as a fundamental cornerstone in mathematical logic. This paper delves into a semiring characterization of propositional logic, employing the Gr\"oebner-Shirshov basis theory to furnish an algebraic framework for…

In this paper we consider first-order logic theorem proving and model building via approximation and instantiation. Given a clause set we propose its approximation into a simplified clause set where satisfiability is decidable. The…

In this paper, we study the sampling problem for first-order logic proposed recently by Wang et al. -- how to efficiently sample a model of a given first-order sentence on a finite domain? We extend their result for the…

We investigate how the sentence choice semantics (SCS) for propositional superposition logic (PLS) developed in \cite{Tz17} could be extended so as to successfully apply to first-order superposition logic(FOLS). There are two options for…

Propositional logics in general, considered as a set of sentences, can be undecidable even if they have "nice" representations, e.g., are given by a calculus. Even decidable propositional logics can be computationally complex (e.g., already…

Logic rules and inference are fundamental in computer science and have been studied extensively. However, prior semantics of logic languages can have subtle implications and can disagree significantly, on even very simple programs,…

A dichotomy result of Sevenster (2014) completely classified the quantifier prefixes of regular Independence-Friendly (IF) logic according to the patterns of quantifier dependence they contain. On one hand, prefixes that contain "Henkin" or…

In Apt and Bezem [AB99] (see cs.LO/9811017) we provided a computational interpretation of first-order formulas over arbitrary interpretations. Here we complement this work by introducing a denotational semantics for first-order logic.…

Let $L$ be the language of rings. We provide an axiomatization of the $L$-theories of quaternions and octonions and characterize their models: they coincide, up to isomorphism, with quaternion and octonion algebras over a real closed field,…

The Feferman-Vaught theorem provides a way of evaluating a first order sentence $\varphi$ on a disjoint union of structures by producing a decomposition of $\varphi$ into sentences which can be evaluated on the individual structures and the…

For every $q\in \mathbb N$ let $\textrm{FO}_q$ denote the class of sentences of first-order logic FO of quantifier rank at most $q$. If a graph property can be defined in $\textrm{FO}_q$, then it can be decided in time $O(n^q)$. Thus,…

We formulate a general, signature-independent form of the law of the excluded middle and prove that a logic is semisimple if and only if it enjoys this law, provided that it satisfies a weak form of the so-called inconsistency lemma of…

In this paper, we investigate the algebraic properties of the expectation semirings which are semiring version of the concept of trivial extension in ring theory. We discuss ideals, primes, maximals and primary ideals of these semirings. We…

In this paper, first-order logic is interpreted in the framework of universal algebra, using the clone theory developed in three previous papers. We first define the free clone T(L, C) of terms of a first order language L over a set C of…

Formalisms based on temporal logics interpreted over finite strict linear orders, known in the literature as finite traces, have been used for temporal specification in automated planning, process modelling, (runtime) verification and…

To represent anything from mathematical concepts to real-world objects, we have to resort to an encoding. Encodings, such as written language, usually assume a decoder that understands a rich shared code. A semantic embedding is a form of…
