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
Unifying type systems for mobile processes
We present a unifying framework for type systems for process calculi. The
core of the system provides an accurate correspondence between essentially
functional processes and linear logic proofs; fragments of this system
correspond to previously known connections between proofs and processes. We
show how the addition of extra logical axioms can widen the class of typeable
processes in exchange for the loss of some computational properties like
lock-freeness or termination, allowing us to see various well studied systems
(like i/o types, linearity, control) as instances of a general pattern. This
suggests unified methods for extending existing type systems with new features
while staying in a well structured environment and constitutes a step towards
the study of denotational semantics of processes using proof-theoretical
methods
Defining Logical Systems via Algebraic Constraints on Proofs
We comprehensively present a program of decomposition of proof systems for
non-classical logics into proof systems for other logics, especially classical
logic, using an algebra of constraints. That is, one recovers a proof system
for a target logic by enriching a proof system for another, typically simpler,
logic with an algebra of constraints that act as correctness conditions on the
latter to capture the former; for example, one may use Boolean algebra to give
constraints in a sequent calculus for classical propositional logic to produce
a sequent calculus for intuitionistic propositional logic. The idea behind such
forms of reduction is to obtain a tool for uniform and modular treatment of
proof theory and provide a bridge between semantics logics and their proof
theory. The article discusses the theoretical background of the project and
provides several illustrations of its work in the field of intuitionistic and
modal logics. The results include the following: a uniform treatment of modular
and cut-free proof systems for a large class of propositional logics; a general
criterion for a novel approach to soundness and completeness of a logic with
respect to a model-theoretic semantics; and a case study deriving a
model-theoretic semantics from a proof-theoretic specification of a logic.Comment: submitte
Involutive Commutative Residuated Lattice without Unit: Logics and Decidability
We investigate involutive commutative residuated lattices without unit, which
are commutative residuated lattice-ordered semigroups enriched with a unary
involutive negation operator. The logic of this structure is discussed and the
Genzten-style sequent calculus of it is presented. Moreover, we prove the
decidability of this logic.Comment: 16 page
