Reducing first - order logic to Df 3 , free algebras
Alfred Tarski in 1953 formalized set theory in the equational theory of relation algebras [37, 38]. Why did he do so? Because the equational theory of relation algebras (RA) corresponds to a logic without individual variables, in other words, to a propositional logic. This is why the title of the book [39] is “Formalizing set theory without variables”. Tarski got the surprising result that a pr...
متن کاملFrom Separation Logic to First-Order Logic
Separation logic is a spatial logic for reasoning locally about heap structures. A decidable fragment of its assertion language was presented in [1], based on a bounded model property. We exploit this property to give an encoding of this fragment into a first-order logic containing only the propositional connectives, quantification over the natural numbers and equality. This result is the first...
متن کاملReducing CTL-live Model Checking to Semantic Entailment in First-Order Logic (Version 1)
The core of temporal logic model checking is the reachability problem, which is not expressible in first-order logic (FOL). Most model checking algorithms, both for finite and infinite Kripke structures, contain a loop that iterates to reach a fixed-point. As a result, reasoners with input languages no more expressive than FOL have been used iteratively for model checking rather than having the...
متن کاملHow to Prove Higher Order Theorems in First Order Logic
In this paper we are interested in using a first order theorem prover to prove theorems that are formulated in some higher order logic. To this end we present translations of higher order logics into first order logic with flat sorts and equality and give a sufficient criterion for the soundness of these translations. In addition translations are introduced that are sound and complete with resp...
متن کاملBeyond First Order Logic: From number of structures to structure of numbers: Part I
We study the history and recent developments in nonelementarymodel theory focusing on the framework of abstractelementary classes. We discuss the role of syntax and semanticsand the motivation to generalize first order model theory to nonelementaryframeworks and illuminate the study with concrete examplesof classes of models. This first part introduces the main conceps and philosophies anddiscu...
