for the first time in the history of logic, abd al razzaq al-jili (d. 570/1174), in the treatise al-lame fi al-shakl al-rabe, dealt with the modal syllogisms of the fourth figure. previous to him, dinha, the priest, and ibn salah al-hamadani had discussed the non-modal moods of the fourth figure. jili’s treatise deals only with simple modalities and ignores the complex ones. his pupil, fakhr al...

A framework is developed that extends calculi for propositional, modal and predicate logics to calculi for team-based logics. This method is applied to classical and quantified propositional logic, first-order logic and the modal logic K. Complete axiomatizations for propositional team logic PTL, quantified propositional team logic QPTL, modal team logic MTL and the dependence-atom-free fragmen...

As an extension of the traditional modal logic, the fuzzy first-order modal logic is discussed in this paper. A description of fuzzy first-order modal logic based on constant domain semantics is given, and a formal system of fuzzy reasoning based on the semantic information of models of first-order modal logic is established. It is also introduced in this paper the notion of the satisfiability ...

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...

This paper presents a structured, annotated bibliography of extensions of logic programming based on temporal and modal logics. Temporal and modal logic programming is a new area of research, which gained momentum in the late 1980'ies. The paper discusses temporal and modal logic programming under three headings: (1) interval logic programming , (2) temporal logic programming, and (3) modal log...

Paraconsistent logic was born in the vicinity of modal logic. Moreover, as every other non-classical logicians, paraconsistentists have very often flirted with modalities. The first known system of paraconsistent logic was in fact defined as a fragment of S5, in the late 40s. But a fragment of a modal system is not necessarily a modal system. I will show here, indeed, that Jaśkowski’s D2 is not...

In [H1], we develop a fixpoint semantics, the least model semantics, and an SLDresolution calculus in a direct way for positive modal logic programs in basic serial monomodal logics. In [H2], we extend the results and generalize the methods of [H1] for multimodal logics, giving a framework for developing semantics for positive logic programs in serial multimodal logics. In [H3], we report on ou...

The famous van Benthem theorem states that modal logic corresponds exactly to the fragment of first-order logic that is invariant under bisimulation. In this article we prove an exact analogue of this theorem in the framework of modal dependence logic MDL and team semantics. We show that modal team logic MTL, extending MDL by classical negation, captures exactly the FO-definable bisimulation in...

THINKER is an automated natural deduction first-order theorem proving program. This paper reports on how it was adapted so as to prove theorems in modal logic. The method employed is an "indirect semantic method", obtained by considering the semantic conditions involved in being a valid argument in these modal logics. The method is extended from propositional modal logic to predicate modal logi...
