Changing a semantics: opportunism or courage?

open access: yes, 2014
The generalized models for higher-order logics introduced by Leon Henkin, and their multiple offspring over the years, have become a standard tool in many areas of logic.

On the Logic of Belief and Propositional Quantification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We consider extending the modal logic KD45, commonly taken as the baseline system for belief, with propositional quantifiers that can be used to formalize natural language sentences such as “everything I believe is true” or “there is some-thing that I ...

Combining decision procedures for the reals

open access: yes, 2006
We address the general problem of determining the validity of boolean combinations of equalities and inequalities between real-valued expressions.

Spectra of Monadic Second-Order Formulas with One Unary Function

open access: yes, 2003
We establish the eventual periodicity of the spectrum of any monadic second-order formula where: (i) all relation symbols, except equality, are unary, and (ii) there is only one function symbol and that symbol is ...

Deciding First-Order Satisfiability when Universal and Existential Variables are Separated

open access: yes, 2016
We introduce a new decidable fragment of first-order logic with equality, which strictly generalizes two already well-known ones -- the Bernays-Sch\"onfinkel-Ramsey (BSR) Fragment and the Monadic Fragment.

Satisfiability of CTL* with constraints

open access: yes, 2013
We show that satisfiability for CTL* with equality-, order-, and modulo-constraints over Z is decidable. Previously, decidability was only known for certain fragments of CTL*, e.g., the existential and positive fragments and EF.Comment: To appear at ...

Reply to Rosanna Keefe’s ‘Modelling higher-order vagueness: columns, borderlines and boundaries’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper is an expanded written version of my reply to Rosanna Keefe’s paper ‘Modelling higher-order vagueness: columns, borderlines and boundaries’ (Keefe 2015), which in turn is a reply to my paper ‘Columnar higher-order vagueness, or Vagueness is ...

The Limits of Horn Logic Programs

open access: yes, 2002
Given a sequence $\{\Pi_n\}$ of Horn logic programs, the limit $\Pi$ of $\{\Pi_n\}$ is the set of the clauses such that every clause in $\Pi$ belongs to almost every $\Pi_n$ and every clause in infinitely many $\Pi_n$'s belongs to $\Pi$ also.

On Generalizing Decidable Standard Prefix Classes of First-Order Logic

open access: yes, 2017
Recently, the separated fragment (SF) of first-order logic has been introduced. Its defining principle is that universally and existentially quantified variables may not occur together in atoms.
