Extended First-Order Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the EFO fragment of simple type theory, which restricts quantification and equality to base types but retains lambda abstractions and higher-order variables. We show that this fragment enjoys the characteristic properties of first-order logic: complete proof systems, compactness, and countable models. We obtain these results with an analytic tableau system and a concomitant model existence lemma. All results are with respect to standard models. The tableau system is well-suited for proof search and yields decision procedures for substantial fragments of EFO.

On Extensions and Variants of Dependence Logic — A study of intuitionistic connectives in the team semantics setting
Dependence logic is a new logic which incorporates the notion of “dependence”, as well as “independence” between variables into first-order logic. In this thesis, we study extensions and variants of dependence logic on the first-order, propositional and modal level. In particular, the role of intuitionistic connectives in this setting is emphasized. We obtain, among others, the following result...
متن کاملOn the compactness property of extensions of first-order G"{o}del logic
We study three kinds of compactness in some variants of G"{o}del logic: compactness,entailment compactness, and approximate entailment compactness.For countable first-order underlying language we use the Henkinconstruction to prove the compactness property of extensions offirst-order g logic enriched by nullary connective or the Baaz'sprojection connective. In the case of uncountable first-orde...
متن کاملBeyond First Order Logic: From number of structures to structure of numbers: Part I
We study the history and recent developments in nonelementarymodel theory focusing on the framework of abstractelementary classes. We discuss the role of syntax and semanticsand the motivation to generalize first order model theory to nonelementaryframeworks and illuminate the study with concrete examplesof classes of models. This first part introduces the main conceps and philosophies anddiscu...
متن کاملTopological Completeness of First-Order Modal Logics
As McKinsey and Tarski [20] showed, the Stone representation theorem for Boolean algebras extends to algebras with operators to give topological semantics for (classical) propositional modal logic, in which the “necessity” operation is modeled by taking the interior of an arbitrary subset of a topological space. This topological interpretation was recently extended in a natural way to arbitrary...

متن کاملSpecifying Theorem Provers in a Higher-Order Logic Programming Language
Since logic programming systems directly implement search and unification and since these operations are essential for the implementation of most theorem provers, logic programming languages should make ideal implementation languages for theorem provers. We shall argue that this is indeed the case if the logic programming language is extended in several ways. We present an extended logic progra...
