Poset products as relational models

We introduce a relational semantics based on poset products, and provide sufficient conditions guaranteeing its soundness and completeness for various substructural logics. We also demonstrate that our relational semantics unifies and generalizes two semantics already appearing in the literature: Aguzzoli, Bianchi, and Marra's temporal flow semantics for H\'ajek's basic logic, and Lewis-Smith, Oliva, and Robinson's semantics for intuitionistic Lukasiewicz logic. As a consequence of our general theory, we recover the soundness and completeness results of these prior studies in a uniform fashion, and extend them to infinitely-many other substructural logics

Łukasiewicz-Moisil Many-Valued Logic Algebra of Highly-Complex Systems

A novel approach to self-organizing, highly-complex systems (HCS), such as living organisms and artificial intelligent systems (AIs), is presented which is relevant to Cognition, Medical Bioinformatics and Computational Neuroscience. Quantum Automata (QAs) were defined in our previous work as generalized, probabilistic automata with quantum state spaces (Baianu, 1971). Their next-state functions operate through transitions between quantum states defined by the quantum equations of motion in the Schroedinger representation, with both initial and boundary conditions in space-time. Such quantum automata operate with a quantum logic, or Q-logic, significantly different from either Boolean or Łukasiewicz many-valued logic. A new theorem is proposed which states that the category of quantum automata and automata--homomorphisms has both limits and colimits. Therefore, both categories of quantum automata and classical automata (sequential machines) are bicomplete. A second new theorem establishes that the standard automata category is a subcategory of the quantum automata category. The quantum automata category has a faithful representation in the category of Generalized (M,R)--Systems which are open, dynamic biosystem networks with defined biological relations that represent physiological functions of primordial organisms, single cells and higher organisms

Kripke Semantics for Intuitionistic Lukasiewicz Logic

This paper proposes a generalization of the Kripke semantics of intuitionistic logic IL appropriate for intuitionistic Łukasiewicz logicIŁL —a logic in the intersection between IL and (classical) Łukasiewicz logic. This generalised Kripke semantics is based on the poset sum construction, used in Bova and Montagna (Theoret Comput Sci 410(12):1143–1158, 2009). to show the decidability (and PSPACE completeness) of the quasiequational theory of commutative, integral and bounded GBL algebras. The main idea is that $w \Vdash \psi$—which for ILis a relation between worlds w and formulas $\psi$, and can be seen as a function taking values in the booleans $(w \Vdash \psi ) \in {{\mathbb {B}}}$—becomes a function taking values in the unit interval $(w \Vdash \psi ) \in [0,1]$. An appropriate monotonicity restriction (which we call sloping functions) needs to be put on such functions in order to ensure soundness and completeness of the semantics

Some modal and temporal translations of generalized basic logic

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

Fuzzy Sets and Formal Logics

The paper discusses the relationship between fuzzy sets and formal logics as well as the influences fuzzy set theory had on the development of particular formal logics. Our focus is on the historical side of these developments. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Interpolation in Linear Logic and Related Systems

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
