چکیده

In this paper, we investigate the expressiveness of the variety of propositional interval neighborhood logics (PNL), we establish their decidability on linearly ordered domains and some important sub-classes, and we prove undecidability of a number of extensions of PNL with additional modalities over interval relations. All together, we show that PNL form a quite expressive and nearly maximal decidable fragment of Halpern-Shoham’s interval logic HS.

A Tableau-Based Decision Procedure for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic

Propositional interval temporal logics are quite expressive temporal logics that allow one to naturally express statements that refer to time intervals. Unfortunately, most such logics turned out to be (highly) undecidable. To get decidability, severe syntactic and/or semantic restrictions have been imposed to interval-based temporal logics that make it possible to reduce them to point-based on...

Crossing the Undecidability Border with Extensions of Propositional Neighborhood Logic over Natural Numbers

Propositional Neighborhood Logic (PNL) is an interval temporal logic featuring two modalities corresponding to the relations of right and left neighborhood between two intervals on a linear order (in terms of Allen’s relations, meets and met by). Recently, it has been shown that PNL interpreted over several classes of linear orders, including natural numbers, is decidable (NEXPTIME-complete) an...

Optimal Tableaux for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic over Linear Orders

The study of interval temporal logics on linear orders is a meaningful research area in computer science and artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, even when restricted to propositional languages, most interval logics turn out to be undecidable. Decidability has been usually recovered by imposing severe syntactic and/or semantic restrictions. In the last years, tableau-based decision procedure...

On Decidability and Expressiveness of Propositional Interval Neighborhood Logics

Interval-based temporal logics are an important research area in computer science and artificial intelligence. In this paper we investigate decidability and expressiveness issues for Propositional Neighborhood Logics (PNLs). We begin by comparing the expressiveness of the different PNLs. Then, we focus on the most expressive one, namely, PNL, and we show that it is decidable over various classe...

A Decidable Logic for Time Intervals: Propositional Neighborhood Logic

Logics for time intervals provide a natural framework for representing and reasoning about timing properties in various areas of artificial intelligence and computer science. Unfortunately, most time interval logics proposed in the literature are (highly) undecidable. Decidable fragments of these logics have been obtained by imposing severe restrictions on their expressive power. In this paper,...
