Fredkin Gates for Finite-valued Reversible and Conservative Logics
The basic principles and results of Conservative Logic introduced by Fredkin
and Toffoli on the basis of a seminal paper of Landauer are extended to
d-valued logics, with a special attention to three-valued logics. Different
approaches to d-valued logics are examined in order to determine some possible
universal sets of logic primitives. In particular, we consider the typical
connectives of Lukasiewicz and Godel logics, as well as Chang's MV-algebras. As
a result, some possible three-valued and d-valued universal gates are described
which realize a functionally complete set of fundamental connectives.Comment: 57 pages, 10 figures, 16 tables, 2 diagram
‎Gautama and Almost Gautama Algebras and their associated logics
Recently, Gautama algebras were defined and investigated as a common generalization of the variety of regular double Stone algebras and the variety of regular Kleene Stone algebras, both of which are, in turn, generalizations of Boolean algebras. Those algebras were named in honor and memory of the two founders of Indian Logic--{\bf Akshapada Gautama} and {\bf Medhatithi Gautama}. The purpose of this paper is to define and investigate a generalization of Gautama algebras, called ``Almost Gautama algebras (, for short).'' More precisely, we give an explicit description of subdirectly irreducible Almost Gautama algebras. As consequences, explicit description of the lattice of subvarieties of and the equational bases for all its subvarieties are given. It is also shown that the variety is a discriminator variety. Next, we consider logicizing ; but the variety lacks an implication operation. We, therefore, introduce another variety of algebras called ``Almost Gautama Heyting algebras'' (, for short) and show that the variety %of Almost Heyting algebras is term-equivalent to that of . Next, a propositional logic, called (or ), is defined and shown to be algebraizable (in the sense of Blok and Pigozzi) with the variety , via as its equivalent algebraic semantics (up to term equivalence). All axiomatic extensions of the logic , corresponding to all the subvarieties of are given. They include the axiomatic extensions , and of the logic corresponding to the varieties , , and (of Gautama algebras), respectively. It is also deduced that none of the axiomatic extensions of has the Disjunction Property. Finally, We revisit the classical logic with strong negation and classical Nelson algebras introduced by Vakarelov in 1977 and improve his results by showing that is algebraizable with as its algebraic semantics and that the logics , , 3-valued \L ukasivicz logic and the classical logic with strong negation are all equivalent.Fil: Cornejo, Juan Manuel.

Constraint tableaux for two-dimensional fuzzy logics
We introduce two-dimensional logics based on \L{}ukasiewicz and G\"{o}del
logics to formalize paraconsistent fuzzy reasoning. The logics are interpreted
on matrices, where the common underlying structure is the bi-lattice (twisted)
product of the interval. The first (resp.\ second) coordinate encodes
the positive (resp.\ negative) information one has about a statement. We
propose constraint tableaux that provide a modular framework to address their
completeness and complexity
Neutrality and Many-Valued Logics
In this book, we consider various many-valued logics: standard, linear,
hyperbolic, parabolic, non-Archimedean, p-adic, interval, neutrosophic, etc. We
survey also results which show the tree different proof-theoretic frameworks
for many-valued logics, e.g. frameworks of the following deductive calculi:
Hilbert's style, sequent, and hypersequent. We present a general way that
allows to construct systematically analytic calculi for a large family of
non-Archimedean many-valued logics: hyperrational-valued, hyperreal-valued, and
p-adic valued logics characterized by a special format of semantics with an
appropriate rejection of Archimedes' axiom. These logics are built as different
extensions of standard many-valued logics (namely, Lukasiewicz's, Goedel's,
Product, and Post's logics). The informal sense of Archimedes' axiom is that
anything can be measured by a ruler. Also logical multiple-validity without
Archimedes' axiom consists in that the set of truth values is infinite and it
is not well-founded and well-ordered. On the base of non-Archimedean valued
logics, we construct non-Archimedean valued interval neutrosophic logic INL by
which we can describe neutrality phenomena.Comment: 119 page
Sequent and Hypersequent Calculi for Abelian and Lukasiewicz Logics
We present two embeddings of infinite-valued Lukasiewicz logic L into Meyer
and Slaney's abelian logic A, the logic of lattice-ordered abelian groups. We
give new analytic proof systems for A and use the embeddings to derive
corresponding systems for L. These include: hypersequent calculi for A and L
and terminating versions of these calculi; labelled single sequent calculi for
A and L of complexity co-NP; unlabelled single sequent calculi for A and L.Comment: 35 pages, 1 figur
