Sequential Dynamic Logic

We introduce a substructural propositional calculus of Sequential Dynamic Logic that subsumes a propositional part of dynamic predicate logic, and is shown to be expressively equivalent to propositional dynamic logic. Completeness of the calculus with respect to the intended relational semantics is established.     

逻辑系统NMG 的满足性和紧致性

紧致性是模糊逻辑的一个重要性质.现已经证明?ukasiewicz 命题逻辑、G?del 命题逻辑、乘积命题逻辑和形式系统L^*都是紧的.通过刻画逻辑系统NMG 中的极大相容理论和证明NMG 的满足性,进而证明了NMG也是紧的.     

Neural fuzzy logic programming

A foundational development of propositional fuzzy logic programs is presented. Fuzzy logic programs are structured knowledge bases including uncertainties in rules and facts. The precise specifications of uncertainties have a great influence on the performance of the knowledge base. It is shown how fuzzy logic programs can be transformed to neural networks, where adaptations of uncertainties in the knowledge base increase the reliability of the program and are carried out automatically.     

Extended IF逻辑的命题演算系统

Extended IF 逻辑是一阶逻辑的扩张,其主要特点是可表达量词间的相互依赖和独立关系,但其命题部分至今没有得到公理化.基于Cirquent 演算方法,给出了一个关于Cirquent 语义(命题水平)可靠完备的形式系统.该系统能够很好地解释和表达命题联结词间的相互依赖和独立关系,从而使Extended IF 逻辑在命题水平得到了真正意义上的公理化.     

集合代数是经典命题演算形式系统的语义解释

经典命题演算形式系统(CPC)中的公式只是一些形式符号,其意义是由具体的解释给出的.逻辑代数和集合代数都是布尔代数,都是CPC的解释.集合代数是CPC的集合语义,其中对联结词的解释就是集合运算;对形式公式的解释就是集合函数;对逻辑蕴涵.逻辑等价的解释就是集合包含和集合相等=.标准概率逻辑是在标准概率空间上建立的逻辑体系,命题表示随机事件,随机事件是集合,概率空间中的事件域是集合代数,概率逻辑就是CPC集合语义的实际应用.CPC完全适用于概率命题演算.     

Two-sided (intuitionistic) fuzzy reasoning

Fuzzy propositional logic structure is summarized; different forms of fuzzy propositional expressions and their relations are discussed. Two-sided fuzzy proposition is defined in propositional logic algebra as the counterpart of intuitionistic fuzzy set. The concept of two-sided fuzzy reasoning is discussed and its mathematical structure is developed. Using two-sided fuzzy propositions, human decision-making can be closely simulated by considering his perception of both (somewhat opposite) sides of the subject matter simultaneously. Multiuniverse two-sided fuzzy propositions are presented and multiuniverse operations are defined. Two-sided fuzzy if-then rules are investigated under different interpretations of fuzzy implications, Approximate of these different implications and the inferences in the output universe are investigated, and associated error terms are identified     

Expressive Completeness of Duration Calculus

This paper compares the expressive power of first-order monadic logic of order, a fundamental formalism in mathematical logic and the theory of computation, with that of the propositional version of duration calculus (PDC), a formalism for the specification of real-time systems. Our results show that the propositional duration calculus is expressively complete for first-order monadic logic of order. Our semantics for PDC conservatively extends the standard semantics to all positive (including infinite) length intervals. Hence, in view of the expressive completeness, liveness properties can be specified in PDC. This observation refutes a widely believed misconception that the duration calculus cannot specify liveness properties.     

Hyperformulae, Parallel Deductions and Intersection Types

We aim at investigating the intersection-type assignment system for lambda calculus, with the Curry-Howard approach. We devise a propositional logic, whose notable characteristic is the presence of the hyperformulae denoting parallel compositions of formulae. As such, this logic formalizes a novel notion of parallel deductions, while forming a simple generalization of the standard natural deduction framework.We prove that the logical calculus is isomorphic to the intersection type system, by mapping logical deductions into typed lambda terms, encoding those deductions, and conversely. In this context the intersection type constructor, which comes out to be a proof-theoretic operator, is now interpreted as a standard propositional connective.     

An O(nlog n)-SPACE Decision Procedure for the Propositional Dummett Logic

We present a tableau calculus for propositional Dummett logic, also known as LC (Linear Chain), where the depth of the deductions is linearly bounded by the length of the formulas to be proved. We then show that it is possible to decide propositional Dummett logic in O(nlogn)-SPACE.     

带有不同否定的模糊命题逻辑的形式演绎系统

对于模糊知识及其否定关系,潘正华指出应该明确地分为矛盾否定关系、对立否定关系和中介否定关系,并建立了一种具有矛盾否定、对立否定和中介否定的模糊集FScom（fuzzy sets with contradictory negation, opposite negation and medium negation）,随后建立了一种改进的模糊集IFScom（improved FScom）。为给模糊集FScom及其改进IFScom提供一种逻辑工具,提出了一种带有矛盾否定、对立否定和中介否定的模糊命题逻辑演算系统FPcom,并在给定无穷值语义赋值模型以及可满足性定义下,证明了FPcom具有可靠性和完备性。FPcom在一定意义上可视为对中介命题演算系统的改进。     

Some properties of fuzzy reasoning in propositional fuzzy logic systems

In order to analyze the logical foundation of fuzzy reasoning, this paper first introduces the concept of generalized roots of theories in ?ukasiewicz propositional fuzzy logic ?uk, Gödel propositional fuzzy logic Göd, Product propositional fuzzy logic Π, and nilpotent minimum logic NM (the R₀-propositional fuzzy logic L^∗). Next, it is proved that all consequences of a theory Γ, named D(Γ), are completely determined by its generalized root whenever Γ has a generalized root. Moreover, it is proved that every finite theory Γ has a generalized root, which can be expressed by a specific formula. Finally, we demonstrate the existence of a non-fuzzy version of Fuzzy Modus Ponens (FMP) in ?uk, Göd, Π and NM (L^∗), and we provide its numerical version as a new algorithm for solving FMP.     

一类具有3种否定的模糊模态命题逻辑

对不同否定知识的认知、区分、表达、推理及计算是模糊知识研究处理的一个基础。具有矛盾否定、对立否定和中介否定的模糊命题逻辑形式系统FLCOM是一种能够完整描述模糊知识中的不同否定及其关系与规律的理论。基于FLCOM和中介模态命题逻辑MK,提出一类具有3种否定的模糊模态命题逻辑MKCOM及其扩充系统MTCOM,MS₄COM和MS₅COM;讨论了MKCOM的语义和语法解释,并证明了MKCOM的可靠性定理和完备性定理。

Reducing Higher-Order Theorem Proving to a Sequence of SAT Problems

We describe a complete theorem proving procedure for higher-order logic that uses SAT-solving to do much of the heavy lifting. The theoretical basis for the procedure is a complete, cut-free, ground refutation calculus that incorporates a restriction on instantiations. The refined nature of the calculus makes it conceivable that one can search in the ground calculus itself, obtaining a complete procedure without resorting to meta-variables and a higher-order lifting lemma. Once one commits to searching in a ground calculus, a natural next step is to consider ground formulas as propositional literals and the rules of the calculus as propositional clauses relating the literals. With this view in mind, we describe a theorem proving procedure that primarily generates relevant formulas along with their corresponding propositional clauses. The procedure terminates when the set of propositional clauses is unsatisfiable. We prove soundness and completeness of the procedure. The procedure has been implemented in a new higher-order theorem prover, Satallax, which makes use of the SAT-solver MiniSat. We also describe the implementation and give several examples. Finally, we include experimental results of Satallax on the higher-order part of the TPTP library.     

基于支持度理论的广义Modus Ponens问题的最优解

为了将模糊推理纳入逻辑的框架并从语构和语义两个方面为模糊推理奠定严格的逻辑基础,通过将模糊推理形式化的方法移植到经典命题逻辑系统中,把FMP(fuzzy modus ponens)问题转化为GMP(generalized modus ponens)问题,并基于公式的真度概念提出了公式之间的支持度,进一步利用支持度的思想引入了GMP问题以及CGMP(collective generalized modus ponens)问题的一种新型最优求解机制.证明了最优解的存在性,同时指出,在经典命题逻辑系统中存在着与模糊逻辑完全相似的推理机制.该方法是一种程度化的方法,这就使得求解过程从算法上实现成为可能,并对知识的程度化推理有所启示.     

Possibility Theory, Probability Theory and Multiple-Valued Logics: A Clarification

There has been a long-lasting misunderstanding in the literature of artificial intelligence and uncertainty modeling, regarding the role of fuzzy set theory and many-valued logics. The recurring question is that of the mathematical and pragmatic meaningfulness of a compositional calculus and the validity of the excluded middle law. This confusion pervades the early developments of probabilistic logic, despite early warnings of some philosophers of probability. This paper tries to clarify this situation. It emphasizes three main points. First, it suggests that the root of the controversies lies in the unfortunate confusion between degrees of belief and what logicians call degrees of truth. The latter are usually compositional, while the former cannot be so. This claim is first illustrated by laying bare the non-compositional belief representation embedded in the standard propositional calculus. It turns out to be an all-or-nothing version of possibility theory. This framework is then extended to discuss the case of fuzzy logic versus graded possibility theory. Next, it is demonstrated that any belief representation where compositionality is taken for granted is bound to at worst collapse to a Boolean truth assignment and at best to a poorly expressive tool. Lastly, some claims pertaining to an alleged compositionality of possibility theory are refuted, thus clarifying a pervasive confusion between possibility theory axioms and fuzzy set basic connectives.     

A Hilbert-Style Axiomatisation for Equational Hybrid Logic

This paper introduces an axiomatisation for equational hybrid logic based on previous axiomatizations and natural deduction systems for propositional and first-order hybrid logic. Its soundness and completeness is discussed. This work is part of a broader research project on the development a general proof calculus for hybrid logics.     

Rewrite rule systems for modal propositional logic

This paper explains new results relating modal propositional logic and rewrite rule systems. More precisely, we give complete term rewriting systems for the modal propositional systems known as K, Q, T, and S5. These systems are presented as extensions of Hsiang's system for classical propositional calculus. We have checked local confluence with the rewrite rule system K.B. (cf. the Knuth-Bendix algorithm) developed by the Formel project at INRIA. We prove that these systems are noetherian, and then infer their confluence from Newman's lemma. Therefore each term rewriting system provides a new automated decision procedure and defines a canonical form for the corresponding logic. We also show how to characterize the canonical forms thus obtained.
