چکیده

In previous work we gave an approach, based on labelled natural deduction, for formalizing proof systems for a large class of propo-sitional modal logics that includes K, D, T, B, S4, S4:2, KD45, and S5. Here we extend this approach to quantiied modal logics, providing for-malizations for logics with varying, increasing, decreasing, or constant domains. The result is modular with respect to both properties of the accessibility relation in the Kripke frame and the way domains of individuals change between worlds. Our approach has a modular metatheory too; soundness, completeness and normalization are proved uniformly for every logic in our class. Finally, our work leads to a simple implementation of a modal logic theorem prover in a standard logical framework.

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...

Decidable first-order modal logics with counting quantifiers

In this paper, we examine the computational complexity of various natural onevariable fragments of first-order modal logics with the addition of arbitrary counting quantifiers. The addition of counting quantifiers provides us a rich language with which to succinctly express statements about the quantity of objects satisfying a given property, using only a single variable. We provide optimal upp...

Idempotent 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...

Bisimulation 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...

Modal Ontology and Generalized Quantifiers

Timothy Williamson has argued that in the debate on modal ontology, the familiar distinction between actualism and possibilism should be replaced by a distinction between positions he calls contingentism and necessitism. He has also argued in favor of necessitism, using results on quantified modal logic with plurally interpreted second-order quantifiers showing that necessitists can draw distin...
