Bisimulation Quantifiers for Modal Logics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modal logics have found applications in many different contexts. For example, epistemic modal logics can be used to reason about security protocols, temporal modal logics can be used to reason about the correctness of distributed systems and propositional dynamic logic can reason about the correctness of programs. However, pure modal logic is expressively weak and cannot represent many interesting secondorder properties that are expressible, for example, in the μ-calculus.

Bisimulation Quantified Modal Logics: Decidability
Bisimulation quantifiers are a natural extension of modal logics. They preserve the bisimulation invariance of modal logic, while allowing monadic second-order expressivity. Unfortunately, it is not the case that extension by bisimulation quantifiers always preserves the decidability of a modal logic. Here we examine a general class of modal logics for which decidability is preserved under exte...
متن کاملBisimulation Quantified Logics: Undecidability
In this paper we introduce a general semantic interpretation for propositional quantification in all multi-modal logics based on bisimulations (bisimulation quantification). Bisimulation quantification has previously been considered in the context of isolated modal logics, such as PDL (D’Agostino and Hollenberg, 2000), intuitionistic logic (Pitts, 1992) and logics of knowledge (French 2003). We...
متن کاملIdempotent Transductions for Modal Logics
We investigate the extension of modal logics by bisimulation quantifiers and present a class of modal logics which is decidable when augmented with bisimulation quantifiers. These logics are refered to as the idempotent transduction logics and are defined using the programs of propositional dynamic logic including converse and tests. This is a nontrivial extension of the decidability of the pos...
متن کاملForgetting in Multi-Agent Modal Logics
In the past decades, forgetting has been investigated for many logics and has found many applications in knowledge representation and reasoning. However, forgetting in multi-agent modal logics has largely been unexplored. In this paper, we study forgetting in multi-agent modal logics. We adopt the semantic definition of existential bisimulation quantifiers as that of forgetting. We propose a sy...
متن کاملThe Freedoms of Guarded Bisimulation
Guarded logics have been shown to be amazingly versatile and tractable logics since their inception by Andréka, van Benthem, Németi in [1]. Features otherwise known from modal logics are lifted to the richer setting of general relational structures. The leading idea in this generalisation is the relativisation of quantifiers to tuples that are guarded by relational atoms. In a sense that can be...
