An Optimal Tableau-Based Decision Algorithm for Propositional Neighborhood Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we focus our attention on the decision problem for Propositional Neighborhood Logic (PNL for short). PNL is the proper subset of Halpern and Shoham’s modal logic of intervals whose modalities correspond to Allen’s relations meets and met by. We show that the satisfiability problem for PNL over the integers is NEXPTIME-complete. Then, we develop a sound and complete tableau-based decision procedure and we prove its optimality.

Optimal Tableaux for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic over Linear Orders
The study of interval temporal logics on linear orders is a meaningful research area in computer science and artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, even when restricted to propositional languages, most interval logics turn out to be undecidable. Decidability has been usually recovered by imposing severe syntactic and/or semantic restrictions. In the last years, tableau-based decision procedure...
متن کاملA Tableau-Based Decision Procedure for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic
Propositional interval temporal logics are quite expressive temporal logics that allow one to naturally express statements that refer to time intervals. Unfortunately, most such logics turned out to be (highly) undecidable. To get decidability, severe syntactic and/or semantic restrictions have been imposed to interval-based temporal logics that make it possible to reduce them to point-based on...
متن کاملOptimal Tableau Systems for Propositional Neighborhood Logic over All, Dense, and Discrete Linear Orders
In this paper, we focus our attention on tableau systems for the propositional interval logic of temporal neighborhood (Propositional Neighborhood Logic, PNL for short). PNL is the proper subset of Halpern and Shoham’s modal logic of intervals whose modalities correspond to Allen’s relations meets and met by. We first prove by a modeltheoretic argument that the satisfiability problem for PNL ov...
متن کاملA Tableau System for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic over Finite Linear Orders: An Implementation
Interval temporal logics are quite expressive temporal logics, which turn out to be difficult to deal with in many respects. Even finite satisfiability of simple interval temporal logics presents non-trivial technical issues when it comes to the implementation of efficient tableaubased decision procedures. We focus our attention on the logic of Allen’s relation meets, a.k.a. Right Propositional...
متن کاملAn Optimal On-the-Fly Tableau-Based Decision Procedure for PDL-Satisfiability
We give an optimal (exptime), sound and complete tableaubased algorithm for deciding satisfiability for propositional dynamic logic. Our main contribution is a sound method to track unfulfilled eventualities “on the fly” which allows us to detect “bad loops” sooner rather than in multiple subsequent passes. We achieve this by propagating and updating the “status” of nodes throughout the underly...
