Fuzzy Modal Logics

In the paper we introduce formal calculi which are a generalization of propositional modal logics. These calculi are called fuzzy modal logics. We introduce the concept of a fuzzy Kripke model and consider a semantics of these calculi in the class of fuzzy Kripke models. The main result of the paper is the completeness theorem of a minimal fuzzy modal logic in the class of fuzzy Kripke models.__________Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 201–230, 2003.     

Modal Logics of Stone Spaces

Interpreting modal diamond as the closure of a topological space, we axiomatize the modal logic of each metrizable Stone space and of each extremally disconnected Stone space. As a corollary, we obtain that S4.1 is the modal logic of the Pelczynski compactification of the natural numbers and S4.2 is the modal logic of the Gleason cover of the Cantor space. As another corollary, we obtain an axiomatization of the intermediate logic of each metrizable Stone space and of each extremally disconnected Stone space. In particular, we obtain that the intuitionistic logic is the logic of the Pelczynski compactification of the natural numbers and the logic of weak excluded middle is the logic of the Gleason cover of the Cantor space.     

A Buchholz Rule for Modal Fixed Point Logics

Buchholz’s Ω _μ+1-rules provide a major tool for the proof-theoretic analysis of arithmetical inductive definitions. The aim of this paper is to put this approach into the new context of modal fixed point logic. We introduce a deductive system based on an Ω-rule tailored for modal fixed point logic and develop the basic techniques for establishing soundness and completeness of the corresponding system. In the concluding section we prove a cut elimination and collapsing result similar to that of Buchholz (Iterated inductive definitions and subsystems of analysis: recent proof theoretic studies. Lecture notes in mathematics, vol. 897, pp. 189–233, Springer, Berlin, 1981).     

Barwise's Information Frames and Modal Logics

The article studies Barwise's information frames and settles the problem of Barwise dealing in finding axiomatizations for the modal logics generated by information frames. We find axiomatic systems for: (i) the modal logic of all complete information frames; (ii) the logic of all sound and complete information frames; (iii) the logic of all hereditary and complete information frames; (iv) the logic of all complete, sound, and hereditary information frames; (v) the logic of all consistent and complete information frames. The notion of weak modal logics is also proposed, and it is shown that the weak modal logics generated by all information frames and by all hereditary information frames are K and K4, respectively. Toward a general theory, we prove that any Kripke complete modal logic is a modal logic of a certain class of information frames, and that every modal logic generated by any given class of complete, rarefied, and fully classified information frames is Kripke complete.     

Modal Multilattice Logic

A modal extension of multilattice logic, called modal multilattice logic, is introduced as a Gentzen-type sequent calculus \(\hbox {MML}_n\). Theorems for embedding \(\hbox {MML}_n\) into a Gentzen-type sequent calculus S4C (an extended S4-modal logic) and vice versa are proved. The cut-elimination theorem for \(\hbox {MML}_n\) is shown. A Kripke semantics for \(\hbox {MML}_n\) is introduced, and the completeness theorem with respect to this semantics is proved. Moreover, the duality principle is proved as a characteristic property of \(\hbox {MML}_n\).     

Gleason Property and Extensions of States on Projection Logics

We prove that every state on the projection logic P(M) of avon Neumann algebra M not containing a direct summand of typeI₂ extends to a state of an arbitrary larger unital logic L.We also show that if a C^*-algebra enjoys the Gleason property,and if it possesses sufficiently many projections, then an analogousresult can be derived. Moreover, we prove that the extensionscan be taken linear in a complete order unit norm space associatedwith L. (Results of this paper generalize results of [22] andmay contribute to the noncommutative measure theory, convextheory of state spaces and foundations of quantum physics.)     

Abstract Logics, Logic Maps, and Logic Homomorphisms

What is a logic? Which properties are preserved by maps between logics? What is the right notion for equivalence of logics? In order to give satisfactory answers we generalize and further develop the topological approach of [4] and present the foundations of a general theory of abstract logics which is based on the abstract concept of a theory. Each abstract logic determines a topology on the set of theories. We develop a theory of logic maps and show in what way they induce (continuous, open) functions on the corresponding topological spaces. We also establish connections to well-known notions such as translations of logics and the satisfaction axiom of institutions [5]. Logic homomorphisms are maps that behave in some sense like continuous functions and preserve more topological structure than logic maps in general. We introduce the notion of a logic isomorphism as a (not necessarily bijective) function on the sets of formulas that induces a homeomorphism between the respective topological spaces and gives rise to an equivalence relation on abstract logics. Therefore, we propose logic isomorphisms as an adequate and precise notion for equivalence of logics. Finally, we compare this concept with another recent proposal presented in [2].

Full Models for Positive Modal Logic

The positive fragment of the local modal consequence relation defined by the class of all Kripke frames is studied in the context of Abstract Algebraic Logic. It is shown that this fragment is non‐protoalgebraic and that its class of canonically associated algebras according to the criteria set up in [7] is the class of positive modal algebras. Moreover its full models are characterized as the models of the Gentzen calculus introduced in [3].     

Cut‐elimination Theorems for Some Infinitary Modal Logics

In this article, a cut‐free system TLM_ω1 for infinitary propositional modal logic is proposed which is complete with respect to the class of all Kripke frames.The system TLM_ω1 is a kind of Gentzen style sequent calculus, but a sequent of TLM_ω1 is defined as a finite tree of sequents in a standard sense. We prove the cut‐elimination theorem for TLM_ω1 via its Kripke completeness.

Logical Squares for Classical Logic Sentences

In this paper, with reference to relationships of the traditional square of opposition, we establish all the relations of the square of opposition between complex sentences built from the 16 binary and four unary propositional connectives of the classical propositional calculus (CPC). We illustrate them by means of many squares of opposition and, corresponding to them—octagons, hexagons or other geometrical objects.     

A Universal Logic Approach to Adaptive Logics

In this paper, adaptive logics are studied from the viewpoint of universal logic (in the sense of the study of common structures of logics). The common structure of a large set of adaptive logics is described. It is shown that this structure determines the proof theory as well as the semantics of the adaptive logics, and moreover that most properties of the logics can be proved by relying solely on the structure, viz. without invoking any specific properties of the logics themselves.     

Predicate Modal Logics Do Not Mix Very Well

The problem of completeness for predicate modal logics is still under investigation, although some results have been obtained in the last few years (cf. [2, 3, 4, 7]). As far as we know, the case of multimodal logics has not been addressed at all. In this paper, we study the combination of modal logics in terms of combining their semantics. We demonstrate by a simple example that in this sense predicate modal logics are not so easily manipulated as propositional ones: mixing two Kripke-complete predicate modal logics (one with the Barcan formula, and the other without) results in a Kripke-incomplete system.     

More on Bounding Introspection in Modal Nonmonotonic Logics

Abstract By we denote the set of all propositional formulas. Let be the set of all clauses. Define . In Sec. 2 of this paper we prove that for normal modal logics , the notions of -expansions and -expansions coincide. In Sec. 3, we prove that if I consists of default clauses then the notions of -expansions for I and -expansions for I coincide. To this end, we first show, in Sec. 3, that the notion of -expansions for I is the same as that of -expansions for I. The project is supported by NSFC     

A Unified Semantics for a Family of Modal Logics with Propositional Constants

This article concerns the metatheory of a class of modal logics whose language includes propositional constants of various kinds. The main novelties are the use of general frames with specific restrictions and the definition of the strict range of a formula. Many examples from the literature are treated within the framework provided and some traditional model-theoretic issues such as preservation results concerning the validity of formulas and definability results concerning frame properties are addressed.
