چکیده

We prove that the two-variable fragment of first-order intuitionistic logic is undecidable, even without constants and equality. We also show that the twovariable fragment of a quantified modal logic L with expanding first-order domains is undecidable whenever there is a Kripke frame for L with a point having infinitely many successors (such are, in particular, the first-order extensions of practically all standard modal logics like K, K4, GL, S4, S5, K4.1, S4.2, GL.3, etc.). For many quantified modal logics, including those in the standard nomenclature above, even the monadic two-variable fragments turn out to be undecidable. §

Undecidability of first-order modal and intuitionistic logics with two variables and one monadic predicate letter

We prove that the positive fragment of first-order intuitionistic logic in the language with two variables and a single monadic predicate letter, without constants and equality, is undecidable. This holds true regardless of whether we consider semantics with expanding or constant domains. We then generalise this result to intervals [QBL,QKC] and [QBL,QFL], where QKC is the logic of the weak law...

On 2 nd Order Intuitionistic Propositional Calculus with Full Comprehension

(x not free in A, HPC is Heyting's predicate calculus) for the class of Kripke models of constant domains. See G6rnemann [1] for an algebraic completeness proof and Gabbay I-2] for other details. The proof of undecidability uses the same method introduced in Gabbay [3, 4] and used to obtain undecidability results for a large class of intuitionistic theories. Although some versions of the monadi...

Combining Possibilities and Negations

Combining non-classical or`sub-classical' logics is not easy, but it is very interesting. In this paper, we combine nonclassical logics of negation and possibility in the presence of conjunction and disjunction, and then we combine the resulting systems with intuitionistic logic. We will nd that Kracht's results on the undecidability o f classical modal logics generalise to a non-classical sett...

The Undecidability of Simultaneous Rigid E-Unification with Two Variables

Recently it was proved that the problem of simultaneous rigid E-unification, or SREU, is undecidable. Here we show that 4 rigid equations with ground left-hand sides and 2 variables already imply undecidability. As a corollary we improve the undecidability result of the 3*-fragment of intuitionistic logic with equality. Our proof shows undecidability of a very restricted subset of the 33-fragme...

On Decidability of Intuitionistic Modal Logics

We prove a general decidability result for a class of intuitionistic modal logics. The proof is a slight modification of the Ganzinger, Meyer and Veanes [6] result on decidability of the two variable monadic guarded fragment of first order logic with constraints on the guard relations expressible in monadic second order logic.
