On Finite Model Property of the Equational Theory of Kleene Algebras
نویسنده
چکیده
The finite model property of the equational fragment of the theory of Kleene algebras is a consequence of Kozen’s [3] completeness theorem. We show that, conversely, this completeness theorem can be proved assuming the finite model property of this fragment.

On Action Logic
Pratt [22] defines action algebras as Kleene algebras with residuals and action logic as the equational theory of action algebras. In opposition to Kleene algebras, action algebras form a (finitely based) variety. Jipsen [9] proposes a Gentzen-style sequent system for action logic but leaves it as an open question if this system admits cut-elimination and if action logic is decidable. We show t...
متن کاملHypothesis Elimination in Kleene Semirings
—A Kleene Semiring (KS) is an algebraic structure satisfying the axioms of Kleene algebra, minus the annihilation axioms x.0 = 0 = 0.x. We show that, like Kleene algebra (KA), KS admits efficient elimination of various kinds of equational hypotheses, in particular Hoare formulas (x = 0). Our method is purely proof-theoretic, and can be used to eliminate Horn hypotheses in any suitable Horn-equa...
متن کاملAn Efficient Coq Tactic for Deciding Kleene Algebras
We present a reflexive tactic for deciding the equational theory of Kleene algebras in the Coq proof assistant. This tactic relies on a careful implementation of efficient finite automata algorithms, so that it solves casual equations almost instantaneously. The corresponding decision procedure was proved correct and complete; correctness is established w.r.t. any model (including binary relati...
متن کاملOn the Complexity of the Equational Theory of Relational Action Algebras
Pratt [22] defines action algebras as Kleene algebras with residuals. In [9] it is shown that the equational theory of *-continuous action algebras (lattices) is Π 1−complete. Here we show that the equational theory of relational action algebras (lattices) is Π 1−hard, and some its fragments are Π 1−complete. We also show that the equational theory of action algebras (lattices) of regular langu...
متن کاملFeasibly Reducing KAT Equations to KA Equations
Kleene algebra (KA) is the algebra of regular events. Familiar examples of Kleene algebras include regular sets, relational algebras, and trace algebras. A Kleene algebra with tests (KAT) is a Kleene algebra with an embedded Boolean subalgebra. The addition of tests allows one to encode while programs as KAT terms, thus the equational theory of KAT can express (propositional) program equivalenc...
