Model Checking and Satisfiability for Sabotage Modal Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the sabotage modal logic SML which was suggested by van Benthem. SML is the modal logic equipped with a ‘transition-deleting’ modality and hence a modal logic over changing models. It was shown that the problem of uniform model checking for this logic is PSPACE-complete. In this paper we show that, on the other hand, the formula complexity and the program complexity are linear, resp., polynomial time. Further we show that SML lacks nice model-theoretic properties such as bisimulation invariance, the tree model property, and the finite model property. Finally we show that the satisfiability problem for SML is undecidable. Therefore SML seems to be more related to FO than to usual modal logic.

Moving in a Crumbling Network: The Balanced Case
In this paper we continue the study of ‘sabotage modal logic’ SML which was suggested by van Benthem. In this logic one describes the progression along edges of a transition graph in alternation with moves of a saboteur who can delete edges. A drawback of the known results on SML is the asymmetry of the two modalities of ‘moving’ and ‘deleting’: Movements are local, whereas there is a global ch...
متن کاملOn the µ-Calculus Augmented with Sabotage
We study logics and games over dynamically changing structures. Van Benthem’s sabotage modal logic consists of modal logic with a cross-model modality referring to submodels from which a transition has been removed. We add constructors for forming least and greatest monadic fixed-points to that logic and obtain the sabotage μ-calculus. We introduce backup parity games as an extension of standar...
متن کاملMoving Arrows and Four Model Checking Results
We study dynamic modal operators that can change the model during the evaluation of a formula. In particular, we extend the basic modal language with modalities that are able to swap, delete or add pairs of related elements of the domain, while traversing an edge of the accessibility relation. We study these languages together with the sabotage modal logic, which can arbitrarily delete edges of...
متن کاملOn the Complexity of Hybrid Logics with Binders
Hybrid logic refers to a group of logics lying between modal and first-order logic in which one can refer to individual states of the Kripke structure. In particular, the hybrid logic HL(@, ↓) is an appealing extension of modal logic that allows one to refer to a state by means of the given names and to dynamically create new names for a state. Unfortunately, as for the richer first-order logic...
متن کاملUnary Negation * Balder Ten Cate
We study fragments of first-order logic and of least fixed point logic that allow only unary negation: negation of formulas with at most one free variable. These logics generalize many interesting known formalisms, including modal logic and the μ-calculus, as well as conjunctive queries and monadic Datalog. We show that satisfiability and finite satisfiability are decidable for both fragments, ...
