Changing a semantics: opportunism or courage?
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]
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
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
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
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
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]
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
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
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.
