    Logics of Formal Inconsistency enriched with replacement: an algebraic and modal account

    One of the most expected properties of a logical system is that it can be algebraizable, in the sense that an algebraic counterpart of the deductive machinery could be found. Since the inception of da Costa's paraconsistent calculi, an algebraic equivalent for such systems have been searched. It is known that these systems are non self-extensional (i.e., they do not satisfy the replacement property). More than this, they are not algebraizable in the sense of Blok-Pigozzi. The same negative results hold for several systems of the hierarchy of paraconsistent logics known as Logics of Formal Inconsistency (LFIs). Because of this, these logics are uniquely characterized by semantics of non-deterministic kind. This paper offers a solution for two open problems in the domain of paraconsistency, in particular connected to algebraization of LFIs, by obtaining several LFIs weaker than C1, each of one is algebraizable in the standard Lindenbaum-Tarski's sense by a suitable variety of Boolean algebras extended with operators. This means that such LFIs satisfy the replacement property. The weakest LFI satisfying replacement presented here is called RmbC, which is obtained from the basic LFI called mbC. Some axiomatic extensions of RmbC are also studied, and in addition a neighborhood semantics is defined for such systems. It is shown that RmbC can be defined within the minimal bimodal non-normal logic E+E defined by the fusion of the non-normal modal logic E with itself. Finally, the framework is extended to first-order languages. RQmbC, the quantified extension of RmbC, is shown to be sound and complete w.r.t. BALFI semantics

    An Abstract Approach to Consequence Relations

    We generalise the Blok-J\'onsson account of structural consequence relations, later developed by Galatos, Tsinakis and other authors, in such a way as to naturally accommodate multiset consequence. While Blok and J\'onsson admit, in place of sheer formulas, a wider range of syntactic units to be manipulated in deductions (including sequents or equations), these objects are invariably aggregated via set-theoretical union. Our approach is more general in that non-idempotent forms of premiss and conclusion aggregation, including multiset sum and fuzzy set union, are considered. In their abstract form, thus, deductive relations are defined as additional compatible preorderings over certain partially ordered monoids. We investigate these relations using categorical methods, and provide analogues of the main results obtained in the general theory of consequence relations. Then we focus on the driving example of multiset deductive relations, providing variations of the methods of matrix semantics and Hilbert systems in Abstract Algebraic Logic

    Interpolation in Linear Logic and Related Systems

    Full text link
    We prove that there are continuum-many axiomatic extensions of the full Lambek calculus with exchange that have the deductive interpolation property. Further, we extend this result to both classical and intuitionistic linear logic as well as their multiplicative-additive fragments. None of the logics we exhibit have the Craig interpolation property, but we show that they all enjoy a guarded form of Craig interpolation. We also exhibit continuum-many axiomatic extensions of each of these logics without the deductive interpolation property

    Paraconsistency properties in degree-preserving fuzzy logics

    Paraconsistent logics are specially tailored to deal with inconsistency, while fuzzy logics primarily deal with graded truth and vagueness. Aiming to find logics that can handle inconsistency and graded truth at once, in this paper we explore the notion of paraconsistent fuzzy logic. We show that degree-preserving fuzzy logics have paraconsistency features and study them as logics of formal inconsistency. We also consider their expansions with additional negation connectives and first-order formalisms and study their paraconsistency properties. Finally, we compare our approach to other paraconsistent logics in the literature. © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.All the authors have been partially supported by the FP7 PIRSES-GA-2009-247584 project MaToMUVI.

    On Anti-Q-Fuzzy Deductive Systems of Hilbert Algebras

    Get PDF
    In this paper, the concept of anti-Q-fuzzy deductive systems concepts of Hilbert algebras are introduced and proved some results. Further, we discuss the relation between anti-Q-fuzzy deductive system and level subsets of a Q-fuzzy set. Anti Q-fuzzy deductive system is also applied in the Cartesian product of Hilbert algebras

    On strongly standard complete fuzzy logics: MTLQMTL^Q_* and its expansions

    Get PDF
    Finding strongly standard complete axiomatizations for t-norm based fuzzy logics (i.e. complete for deductions with infinite sets of premises w.r.t. semantics on the real unit interval [0, 1]) is still an open problem in general, even though results are already available for some particular cases like some infinitary logics based on a continuous t-norm or certain expansions of Monoidal t-norm based logic (MTL) with rational constant symbols. In this paper we propose a new approach towards the problem of defining strongly standard complete for logics with rational constants in a simpler way. We present a method to obtain a Hilbert-Style axiomatization of the logic associated to an arbitrary standard MTL-algebra expanded with additional connectives whose interpretations on [0, 1] are functions with no jump-type discontinuities.Authors are grateful to anonymous reviewers and acknowledge partial support of the Mineco project TIN2012-39348-C02-01.Peer Reviewe

    Some modal and temporal translations of generalized basic logic

    Get PDF
    We introduce a family of modal expansions of Łukasiewicz logic that are designed to accommodate modal translations of generalized basic logic (as formulated with exchange, weakening, and falsum). We further exhibit algebraic semantics for each logic in this family, in particular showing that all of them are algebraizable in the sense of Blok and Pigozzi. Using this algebraization result and an analysis of congruences in the pertinent varieties, we establish that each of the introduced modal Łukasiewicz logics has a local deduction-detachment theorem. By applying Jipsen and Montagna’s poset product construction, we give two translations of generalized basic logic with exchange, weakening, and falsum in the style of the celebrated Gödel-McKinsey-Tarski translation. The first of these interprets generalized basic logic in a modal Łukasiewicz logic in the spirit of the classical modal logic S4, whereas the second interprets generalized basic logic in a temporal variant of the latter
