A Logic for Reasoning about Rational Agents: Yet Another Attempt

We propose a new version ofATLP (“ATLwith plausibility”), a logic for reasoning about the outcome of rational play in game-like scenarios. Unlike in [8], where two different extensions ofATLwere used for specifying rationality and reasoning about agents’ behavior, we now propose that rationality specifications can be written in ATLP itself, and nested in ATLP formulae. We believe that the new v...

YAMLFRAC Yet Another Modal Logic For Reasoning About Contexts

In this paper, we introduce a general type of multicontext logics, by defining an algebraic structure for representing knowledge from different points of view and characterize a logic modeled by this structure. The basic components which will be used are posets which elements which will be considered as partial descriptions of a given system, and to each context will be associated such a poset....

Yet Another Paper about Partial Verb Phrase Fronting in German

During the last years, several different analyses for partial verb phrase fronting have been proposed (Pollard, 1996; Nerbonne, 1994; Baker, 1994; Hinrichs and Nakazawa, 1994). The most promising account so far has been the one of Hinrichs and Nakazawa. This account, however, suffers from some drawbacks that will be discussed in section 4. I will present a rather simple account that uses the st...

TO THE EDITOR: In an impressive series of articles, Korn and co-workers (e.g., Faber and Korn 1988; Faber et al. 1992, 1995; Korn et al. 1981, 1982, 1987; reviews in Korn and Faber 1991, 2005) described electrophysiological recordings performed on goldfish Mauthner cells and adjacent inhibitory interneurons. In their founding article, published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, Korn and collea...
