چکیده

The propositional dynamic logic (PDL) is an adequate tool to write down programs. In a previous article we used PDL to formulate cryptographic protocols as parallel programs. In these protocols at least two agents/individuals exchange messages, so we needed to use product logic to formulate the parallel actions. Ágnes Kurucz proved that S5×S5×S5 — which is the simplest triple product logic — is undecidable, hence it follows that PDL×PDL×PDL is undecidable, too. It is easy to show that the PDL logic (without the star operator) is decidable, so it is an interesting problem, that the PDL×PDL product logic is decidable or not.

The product of converse PDL and polymodal K

The product of two modal logics L1 and L2 is the modal logic determined by the class of frames of the form F G such that F and G validate L1 and L2, respectively. This paper proves the decidability of the product of converse PDL and polymodal K. Decidability results for products of modal logics of knowledge as well as temporal logics and polymodal K are discussed. All those products form rather...

Forest algebras

If in a transformation semigroup we assume that the set being acted upon has a semigroup structure, then the transformation semigroup can be used to recognize languages of unranked trees. This observation allows us to examine the relationship connecting languages of unranked trees with standard algebraic concepts such as aperiodicity, idempotency, commutativity and wreath product. In particular...

We present a new logic called Ockhamist Propositional Dynamic Logic, OPDL, which provides a natural link between PDL and CTL ∗ . We show that both PDL and CTL ∗ can be polynomially embedded into OPDL in a rather simple and direct way. More generally, the semantics on which OPDL is based provides a unifying framework for making the dynamic logic family and the temporal logic family converge in a...

Propositional Dynamic Logic of Flowcharts

Following a suggestion of Pratt, we consider propositional dynamic logic in which programs are nondeterministic finite automata o~¢er atomic programs and tests (i.e., flowcharts), rather than regular expressions. While the resulting version of PDL, call it APDL, is clearly equivalent in expressive power to PDL, it is also (in the worst case) exponentially more succinct. In particular, deciding ...

Clausal Tableaux for Hybrid PDL

PDL (propositional dynamic logic) [6, 11, 8] is an expressive modal logic invented for reasoning about programs. It extends basic modal logic with expressions called programs. Programs describe relations from states to states and are used to express modalities. Programs are composed with the operators familiar from regular expressions. In addition, they may employ formulas so that conditionals ...
