Graphical Sequent Calculi for Modal Logics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The syntax of modal graphs is defined in terms of the continuous cut and broken cut following Charles Peirce’s notation in the gamma part of his graphical logic of existential graphs. Graphical calculi for normal modal logics are developed based on a reformulation of the graphical calculus for classical propositional logic. These graphical calculi are of the nature of deep inference. The relationship between graphical calculi and sequent calculi for modal logics is shown by translations between graphs and modal formulas.

Proof Search in Nested Sequent Calculi
We propose a notion of focusing for nested sequent calculi for modal logics which brings down the complexity of proof search to that of the corresponding sequent calculi. The resulting systems are amenable to specifications in linear logic. Examples include modal logic K, a simply dependent bimodal logic and the standard non-normal modal logics. As byproduct we obtain the first nested sequent c...
متن کاملModularisation of Sequent Calculi for Normal and Non-normal Modalities
In this work we explore the connections between (linear) nested sequent calculi and ordinary sequent calculi for normal and non-normal modal logics. By proposing local versions to ordinary sequent rules we obtain linear nested sequent calculi for a number of logics, including to our knowledge the first nested sequent calculi for a large class of simply dependent multimodal logics, and for many ...
متن کاملUniform interpolation and the existence of sequent calculi
General conditions on sequent calculi are formulated under which the intermediate and modal logics corresponding to the calculi have uniform interpolation. It follows that the intuitionistic versions of K and KD, as well as several other intuitionistic modal logics, have uniform interpolation. It also follows that no intermediate or intuitionistic modal logic without uniform interpolation has a...
متن کاملNested Sequent Calculi and Theorem Proving for Normal Conditional Logics
In this paper we focus on proof methods and theorem proving for normal conditional logics, by describing nested sequent calculi as well as a theorem prover for them. Nested sequent calculi are a useful generalization of ordinary sequent calculi, where sequents are allowed to occur within sequents. Nested sequent calculi have been profitably employed in the area of (multi)-modal logic to obtain ...
متن کاملUniform interpolation and sequent calculi in modal logic
A method is presented that connects the existence of uniform interpolants to the existence of certain sequent calculi. This method is applied to several modal logics and is shown to cover known results from the literature, such as the existence of uniform interpolants for the modal logic K. The results imply that for modal logics K4 and S4, which are known not to have uniform interpolation, cer...
