A note on negative tagging for least fixed-point formulae
A Note on Negative Tagging for Least Fixed-Point Formulae
Proof systems with sequents of the form U ⊢ Φ for proving validity of a propositional modal μ-calculus formula Φ over a set U of states in a given model usually handle fixed-point formulae through unfolding, thus allowing such formulae to reappear in a proof. Tagging is a technique originated by Winskel for annotating fixed-point formulae with information about the proof states at which these are unfolded. This information is used later in the proof to avoid unnecessary unfolding, without...
Algebraic axiomatization of tense intuitionistic logic
We introduce two unary operators G and H on a relatively pseudocomplemented lattice which form an algebraic axiomatization of the tense quantifiers “it is always going to be the case that” and “it has always been the case that”. Their axiomatization is an extended version for the classical logic and it is in accordance with these operators on many-valued Łukasiewicz logic. Finally, we get a general construction of these tense operators on complete relatively pseudocomplemented lattice which is a...
Completeness Theorem for a First Order Linear-time Logic
Inf-datalog, modal logic and complexities
Inf-Datalog extends the usual least fixpoint semantics of Datalog with greatest fixpoint semantics: we defined inf-Datalog and characterized the expressive power of various fragments of inf-Datalog in [16]. In the present paper, we study the complexity of query evaluation on finite models for (various fragments of) inf-Datalog. We deduce a unified and elementary proof that global model-checking (i.e. computing all nodes satisfying a formula in a given structure) has 1. quadratic data complexity...
Inf-datalog, Modal Logic and Complexities
Inf-Datalog extends the usual least fixpoint semantics of Datalog with greatest fixpoint semantics: we defined inf-Datalog and characterized the expressive power of various fragments of inf-Datalog in [CITE]. In the present paper, we study the complexity of query evaluation on finite models for (various fragments of) inf-Datalog. We deduce a unified and elementary proof that global model-checking (i.e. computing all nodes satisfying a formula in a given structure) has 1. quadratic data complexity...
New applications of the wreath product of forest algebras
We give several new applications of the wreath product of forest algebras to the study of logics on trees. These include new simplified proofs of necessary conditions for definability in CTL and first-order logic with the ancestor relation; a sequence of identities satisfied by all forest languages definable in PDL; and new examples of languages outside CTL, along with an application to the question of what properties are definable in both CTL and LTL.
On characteristic formulae for Event-Recording Automata
A standard bridge between automata theory and logic is provided by the notion of characteristic formula. This paper investigates this problem for the class of event-recording automata (ERA), a subclass of timed automata in which clocks are associated with actions and that enjoys very good closure properties. We first study the problem of expressing characteristic formulae for ERA in Event-Recording Logic (ERL ), a logic introduced by Sorea to express event-based timed specifications. We prove that...
Propositional Linear Temporal Logic with Initial Validity Semantics1
In the article [10] a formal system for Propositional Linear Temporal Logic (in short LTLB) with normal semantics is introduced. The language of this logic consists of “until” operator in a very strict version. The very strict “until” operator enables to express all other temporal operators. In this article we construct a formal system for LTLB with the initial semantics [12]. Initial semantics means that we define the validity of the formula in a model as satisfaction in the initial state of model...
Reasoning in Basic Description Logics and Description Logics with Modal Operators
Restricted ideals and the groupability property. Tools for temporal reasoning
In the field of automatic proving, the study of the sets of prime implicants or implicates of a formula has proven to be very important. If we focus on non-classical logics and, in particular, on temporal logics, such study is useful even if it is restricted to the set of unitary implicants/implicates [P. Cordero, M. Enciso, and I. de Guzmán: Structure theorems for closed sets of implicates/implicants in temporal logic. (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence 1695.) Springer–Verlag, Berlin 1999]....
The Axiomatization of Propositional Linear Time Temporal Logic
The article introduces propositional linear time temporal logic as a formal system. Axioms and rules of derivation are defined. Soundness Theorem and Deduction Theorem are proved [9].
The Derivations of Temporal Logic Formulas
This is a preliminary article to prove the completeness theorem of an extension of basic propositional temporal logic. We base it on the proof of completeness for basic propositional temporal logic given in [12]. We introduce n-ary connectives and prove their properties. We derive temporal logic formulas.
The Properties of Sets of Temporal Logic Subformulas
This is a second preliminary article to prove the completeness theorem of an extension of basic propositional temporal logic. We base it on the proof of completeness for basic propositional temporal logic given in [17]. We introduce two modified definitions of a subformula. In the former one we treat until-formula as indivisible. In the latter one, we extend the set of subformulas of until-formulas by a special disjunctive formula. This is needed to construct a temporal model. We also define an...
Three notes on the complexity of model checking fixpoint logic with chop
This paper analyses the complexity of model checking fixpoint logic with Chop – an extension of the modal μ-calculus with a sequential composition operator. It uses two known game-based characterisations to derive the following results: the combined model checking complexity as well as the data complexity of FLC are EXPTIME-complete. This is already the case for its alternation-free fragment. The expression complexity of FLC is trivially P-hard and limited from above by the complexity of solving...
Topologies, continuity and bisimulations
Topologies, Continuity and Bisimulations
The notion of a bisimulation relation is of basic importance in many areas of computation theory and logic. Of late, it has come to take a particular significance in work on the formal analysis and verification of hybrid control systems, where system properties are expressible by formulas of the modal μ-calculus or weaker temporal logics. Our purpose here is to give an analysis of the concept of bisimulation, starting with the observation that the zig-zag conditions are suggestive of some...
Weak Completeness Theorem for Propositional Linear Time Temporal Logic
We prove weak (finite set of premises) completeness theorem for extended propositional linear time temporal logic with irreflexive version of until-operator. We base it on the proof of completeness for basic propositional linear time temporal logic given in [20] which roughly follows the idea of the Henkin-Hasenjaeger method for classical logic. We show that a temporal model exists for every formula which negation is not derivable (Satisfiability Theorem). The contrapositive of that theorem leads...
