Admissibility and refutation: some characterisations of intermediate logics
2014
Archive for Mathematical Logic
We show that this gives a characterisation of these logics in terms of their admissible rules. To illustrate the technique, we also provide a refutation system for Medvedev's logic. ...
In this paper, we explore the close connection between refutation systems and admissible rules. ...
Lemma For each natural n ≥ 2, the logic T n is sound and complete with respect to proper at most n-fold branching finite trees. Moreover, each of these trees is maximally separable. ...

Non-clausal reasoning with propositional definite theories
[chapter]
1998
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The notion of a definite formula is generic in the sense that it is available to any logical calculus. ...
We argue that efficient automated reasoning techniques which utilize definite formula representation of knowledge (such as SLD-resolution) can be developed for classical and a variety of non-classical ...

Analytic cut trees
2000
Logic Journal of the IGPL
Like tableaux analytic cut trees are a refutation system but unlike tableaux they have a single inference rule (a form of the analytic cut rule) and several branch closure rules. ...
The main advantage of analytic cut trees over tableaux is efficiency: while analytic cut trees can simulate tableaux with an increase in complexity by at most a constant factor, tableaux cannot polynomially ...

Hybrid Reasoning with Forest Logic Programs
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper, we provide a sound, complete, and terminating algorithm for satisfiability checking w.r.t. forest logic programs, a fragment where rules have a tree shape and allow for inequality atoms ...
We note that f-hybrid knowledge bases do not require the usual (weakly) DL-safety of the rule component, providing thus a genuine alternative approach to hybrid reasoning. ...
For x ∈ T , we call succ T (x) = {x · n ∈ T | n ∈ N * } 1 , successors of x. The set A T = {(x, y) | x, y ∈ T, ∃n ∈ N * : y = x · n} is the set of arcs of a tree T . ...

Bounded Nondeterminism of Logic Programs

A program and a query have bounded nondeterminism if there are finitely many refutations for them via any selection rule. ...
We introduce the notion of bounded nondeterminism for logic programs and queries. ...
P Note that, since SLD-trees are finitely branching, by König's Lemma, "every SLDderivation for P and Q via a selection rule s is finite" is equivalent to stating that the SLD-tree of P and Q via s is ...
