A formalization of the Lewis system S1 without rules of substitution.

Josep Pla Carrera (1979)

Stochastica

In the Lewis and Langford formalization of system S1 (1932), besides the deduction rules, the substitution rules are as well used: the uniform substitution and the substitution of strict equivalents. They then obtain systems S2, S3, S4 and S5 adding to the axioms of S1 a new axiom, respectively, without changing the deduction rules. Lemmon (1957) gives a new formalization of systems S1-S5, calling them P1-P5. Is is worthwhile to remark that in the formalization of P2-P5 one does not use any more...

A fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy account of the Liar paradox.

Nikolai G. Nikolov (2002)

Mathware and Soft Computing

The Liar paradox, or the sentenceI am now saying is falseits various guises have been attracting the attention of logicians and linguists since ancient times. A commonly accepted treatment of the Liar paradox [7,8] is by means of Situation semantics, a powerful approach to natural language analysis. It is based on the machinery of non-well-founded sets developed in [1]. In this paper we show how to generalize these results including elements of fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy logic [3,4]. Basing...

A general deduction theorem.

Salvatore Guccione, Roberto Tortora (1980)

Stochastica

In this paper we present a very general deduction theorem which -based upon a uniform notion of proof from hypotheses- holds for a very large class of logical systems. Most of the known results for classical and modal logics, as well as new results, are immediate corollaries of this theorem.

A graphical representation of relational formulae with complementation

Domenico Cantone, Andrea Formisano, Marianna Nicolosi Asmundo, Eugenio Giovanni Omodeo (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We study translations of dyadic first-order sentences into equalities between relational expressions. The proposed translation techniques (which work also in the converse direction) exploit a graphical representation of formulae in a hybrid of the two formalisms. A major enhancement relative to previous work is that we can cope with the relational complement construct and with the negation connective. Complementation is handled by adopting a Smullyan-like uniform notation to classify and decompose...

A Hierarchy of Automatic ω-Words having a Decidable MSO Theory

Vince Bárány (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We investigate automatic presentations of ω-words. Starting points of our study are the works of Rigo and Maes, Caucal, and Carton and Thomas concerning lexicographic presentation, MSO-interpretability in algebraic trees, and the decidability of the MSO theory of morphic words. Refining their techniques we observe that the lexicographic presentation of a (morphic) word is in a certain sense canonical. We then generalize our techniques to a hierarchy of classes of ω-words enjoying the above...
