Higher-Order Coalition Logic

2010
We introduce and study higher-order coalition logic, a multi modal monadic second-order logic with operators [{x}ψ]φ expressing that the coalition of all agents satisfying ψ(x) can achieve a state in which φ holds. We use neighborhood semantics to model extensive games of perfect information with simultaneous actions and

Programming with Higher-Order Logic

2012
Formal systems that describe computations over syntactic structures occur frequently in computer science. Logic programming provides a natural framework for encoding and animating such systems. However, these systems often embody variable binding, a notion that must be treated carefully at a computational level.

Hauptsatz for higher order logic

Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1968
I shall prove in this paper that Gentzen's Hauptsatz is extendible to simple type theory, i.e., to the predicate logic obtained by admitting quantification over predicates of arbitrary finite type and generalizing the second order quantification rules to cover quantifiers of other types.

On Higher-Order Description Logics. [PDF]

open access: possible, 2009
We investigate an extension of Description Logics with higher-order capabilities, based on Henkin-style semantics. Our study starts from the observation that the various possibilities of adding higher-order constructs to a DL form a spectrum of increasing expressive power, including domain metamodeling, i.e., using concepts and roles as predicate ...

Higher-Order Transformation of Logic Programs

2001
It has earlier been assumed that a compositional approach to algorithm design and program transformation is somehow unique to functional programming. Elegant theoretical results codify the basic laws of algorithmics within the functional paradigm and with this paper we hope to demonstrate that some of the same techniques and results are applicable to ...

Higher-Order Logic

1998
We now introduce the logical basis for program refinement, higher-order logic. This is an extension of the simply typed lambda calculus with logical connectives and quantifiers, permitting logical reasoning about functions in a very general way. In particular, it allows quantification over higher-order entities such as predicates and relations, a ...

Connections and higher-order logic

1986
Theorem proving is difficult and deals with complex phenomena. The difficulties seem to be compounded when one works with higher-order logic, but the rich expressive power of Church's formulation [10] [3] of this language makes research on theorem proving in this realm very worthwhile.

Higher-Order Logic

1983
What is nowadays the central part of any introduction to logic, and indeed to some the logical theory par excellence, used to be a modest fragment of the more ambitious language employed in the logicist program of Frege and Russell. ‘Elementary’ or ‘first-order’, or ‘predicate logic’ only became a recognized stable base for logical theory by 1930, when
