An interval temporal logic is a propositional, multimodal logic interpreted over interval structures of partial orders. The semantics of each modal operator are given in the standard way with respect to one of the natural accessibility relations defined on such interval structures. In this paper, we consider the modal operators based on the (reflexive) subinterval relation and the (reflexive) super-interval relation. We show that the satisfiability problems for the interval temporal logics
