چکیده

In this paper we point out that standard PDL-like logics with intersection are useful for reasoning about game structures. In particular, they can express coalitional ability operators known from coalition logic and ATL. An advantage of standard, normal, modal logics is a well understood theoretical foundation and the availability of tools for automated verification and reasoning. We study a minimal variant, multi-modal K with intersection of modalities, interpreted over models corresponding to game structures. There is a restriction: we consider only game structures that are injective. We give a complete axiomatisation of the corresponding models, as well as a characterisation of key complexity problems. We also prove a representation theorem identifying the effectivity functions corresponding to injective games.

Alternating-time temporal logic with resource bounds

Many problems in AI and multi-agent systems research are most naturally formulated in terms of the abilities of a coalition of agents. There exist several excellent logical tools for reasoning about coalitional ability. However, coalitional ability can be affected by the availability of resources, and there is no straightforward way of reasoning about resource requirements in logics such as Coa...

Expressivity and Complexity of Reasoning about Coalitional Interaction: Extended Abstract

This paper studies expressivity and complexity of normal modal logics for reasoning about coalitional power in multi-agent systems with agents that have preferences. A class of local and global notions relevant for reasoning about cooperation is identified. Many of these notions naturally correspond to concepts from game theory or social choice theory. The expressive power required to express t...

On the Joint Reliability Importance for k-out-of-n Systems

‎In this paper‎, ‎the concept of joint reliability importance (JRI) of two or groups of components in a coherent system with independent components have been studied‎. ‎The JRI is defined as the rate at which the system reliability improves as the reliabilities‎ ‎of the two or groups of components improve‎. ‎Generally‎, ‎the sign and the value of the JRI represent the type and the‎ ‎degree of i...

Interaction of reasoning ability and training intervention in reaction to training evaluation and post training effectiveness.

It has been shown that learners' abilities interact with the type of training intervention and effect on training and its outcomes. For this reason, the current research investigated the interaction of reasoning ability with two training methods, namely deductive and empirical methods, in effect on  reaction to training evaluation and post training effectiveness. This research was an applied an...
