    Fredkin Gates for Finite-valued Reversible and Conservative Logics

    Full text link
    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 RDBLSt\mathbb{RDBLS}\rm t of regular double Stone algebras and the variety RKLSt\mathbb{RKLS}\rm t 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 (AG\mathbb{AG}, 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 AG\mathbb{AG} and the equational bases for all its subvarieties are given. It is also shown that the variety AG\mathbb{AG} is a discriminator variety. Next, we consider logicizing AG\mathbb{AG}; but the variety AG\mathbb{AG} lacks an implication operation. We, therefore, introduce another variety of algebras called ``Almost Gautama Heyting algebras'' (AGH\mathbb{AGH}, for short) and show that the variety AGH\mathbb{AGH} %of Almost Heyting algebras is term-equivalent to that of AG\mathbb{AG}. Next, a propositional logic, called AG\mathcal{AG} (or AGH\mathcal{AGH}), is defined and shown to be algebraizable (in the sense of Blok and Pigozzi) with the variety AG\mathbb{AG}, via AGH,\mathbb{AGH}, as its equivalent algebraic semantics (up to term equivalence). All axiomatic extensions of the logic AG\mathcal{AG}, corresponding to all the subvarieties of AG\mathbb{AG} are given. They include the axiomatic extensions RDBLSt\mathcal{RDBLS}t, RKLSt\mathcal{RKLS}t and G\mathcal{G} of the logic AG\mathcal{AG} corresponding to the varieties RDBLSt\mathbb{RDBLS}\rm t, RKLSt\mathbb{RKLS}\rm t, and G\mathbb{G} (of Gautama algebras), respectively. It is also deduced that none of the axiomatic extensions of AG\mathcal{AG} has the Disjunction Property. Finally, We revisit the classical logic with strong negation CN\mathcal{CN} and classical Nelson algebras CN\mathbb{CN} introduced by Vakarelov in 1977 and improve his results by showing that CN\mathcal{CN} is algebraizable with CN\mathbb{CN} as its algebraic semantics and that the logics RKLSt\mathcal{RKLS}\rm t, RKLStH\mathcal{RKLS}\rm t\mathcal{H}, 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

    Full text link
    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 [0,1][0,1] 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

    Get PDF
    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

    Full text link
    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
