چکیده

We define a relative version of the logic NIL introduced by Orłowska, Pawlak and Vakarelov and we show that satisfiability is not only decidable but also EXPTIME-complete. Such a logic combines two ingredients that are seldom present simultaneously in information logics: frame conditions involving more than one information relation and relative frames. The EXPTIME upper bound is obtained by designing a well-suited decision procedure based on the nonemptiness problem of Büchi automata on infinite trees. The paper provides evidence that Büchi automata on infinite trees are crucial language acceptors even for relative information logics with multiple types of relations.

Optimal Proof Systems for Propositional Logic and Complete Sets

A polynomial time computable function h : ! whose range is the set of tau-tologies in Propositional Logic (TAUT), is called a proof system. Cook and Reckhow deened this concept in 6] and in order to compare the relative strength of diierent proof systems, they considered the notion of p-simulation. Intuitively a proof system h p-simulates a second one h 0 if there is a polynomial time computabl...

Complexity, decidability and completeness

We give resource bounded versions of the Completeness Theorem for propositional and predicate logic. For example, it is well known that every computable consistent propositional theory has a computable complete consistent extension. We show that, when length is measured relative to the binary representation of natural numbers and formulas, every polynomial time decidable propositional theory ha...

On Randomized versus Deterministic Computation ? Zpp a = Exptime a = Exptime (= Dtime(2 Poly )). Furthermore, for All the Sets M : M Ur a () M 2 Exptime

In contrast to deterministic or nondeterministic computation, it is a fundamental open problem in randomized computation how to separate diierent ran-domized time classes (at this point we do not even know how to separate linear randomized time from O(n log n) randomized time) or how to compare them relative to corresponding deterministic time classes. In other words we are far from understandi...

Generalized Planning with Loops under Strong Fairness Constraints

We consider a generalized form of planning, possibly involving loops, that arises in nondeterministic domains when explicit strong fairness constraints are asserted over the planning domain. Such constraints allow us to specify the necessity of occurrence of selected effects of nondeterministic actions over domain’s runs. Also they are particularly meaningful from the technical point of view be...

The Nondeterministic Information Logic NIL is PSPACE-complete

The nondeterministic information logic NIL has been introduced by Or lowska and Pawlak in 1984 as a logic for reasoning about total information systems with the similarity, the forward inclusion and the backward inclusion relations. In 1987, Vakarelov provides the first first-order characterization of structures derived from information systems and this has been done with the semantical structu...
