AN EXPOSITION ANS DEVELOPMENT OF KANGER`S EARLY
... began with Carnap (1946, 1947), where he presented a semantics for logical necessity based on Leibniz’s old idea that a proposition is necessarily true if and only if it is true in all possible worlds. In his formal semantics, Carnap used syntactic entities — state-descriptions — as representatives ...

Modal Languages and Bounded Fragments of Predicate Logic

(Several new negative results support this claim.) As a counterproposal, then, we define a large fragment of predicate logic characterized by i ...

... It is well known that the class of primitive relations is closed under substitution by primitive recursive functions, conjunction, disjunction, negation, bounded quantification and bounded minimization. In other words, if R, R0 are n-ary relations, S is an (n + 1)-ary relation, f0 , f1 , . . . , fn− ...

Proof Theory for Propositional Logic
... Davidson,2 pose this issue in terms of human finitude. For any natural language there is no upper bound on the length of sentences. But that means that every natural language in some sense includes an infinite number of sentences. But how do finite beings like us grasp such an infinity? The standard ...

Every deterministic Kripke structure that satisfies ϕ has its (single) initial state labeled either by p or by q or by both, and thus it satisfies ϕ vacuously. On the other h ...
