This paper exhibits a general and uniform method to prove completeness for
certain modal fixpoint logics. Given a set \Gamma of modal formulas of the form
\gamma(x, p1, . . ., pn), where x occurs only positively in \gamma, the
language L\sharp (\Gamma) is obtained by adding to the language of polymodal
logic a connective \sharp\_\gamma for each \gamma \epsilon. The term
\sharp\_\gamma (\varphi1, . . ., \varphin) is meant to be interpreted as the
least fixed point of the functional interpretation of the term \gamma(x,
\varphi 1, . . ., \varphi n). We consider the following problem: given \Gamma,
construct an axiom system which is sound and complete with respect to the
concrete interpretation of the language L\sharp (\Gamma) on Kripke frames. We
prove two results that solve this problem. First, let K\sharp (\Gamma) be the
logic obtained from the basic polymodal K by adding a Kozen-Park style fixpoint
axiom and a least fixpoint rule, for each fixpoint connective \sharp\_\gamma.
Provided that each indexing formula \gamma satisfies the syntactic criterion of
being untied in x, we prove this axiom system to be complete. Second,
addressing the general case, we prove the soundness and completeness of an
extension K+ (\Gamma) of K\_\sharp (\Gamma). This extension is obtained via an
effective procedure that, given an indexing formula \gamma as input, returns a
finite set of axioms and derivation rules for \sharp\_\gamma, of size bounded
by the length of \gamma. Thus the axiom system K+ (\Gamma) is finite whenever
\Gamma is finite
