Insights into Modal Slash Logic and Modal Decidability
... If R is a binary relation, write R+ for the transitive closure of R and R∗ for the reflexive transitive closure of R. A modal structure is treelike if its accessibility relation R satisfies: (i) there is a unique element r ∈ M , the root of the model, such that for all x ∈ M , R∗ rx; (ii) every elem ...

Good deductive arguments are those that we can appropriately make in any categorical deliberative context where the premises of the argument are known an ...

Completeness in modal logic - Lund University Publications

The width of some semantics is determined by the weakest system complete in that semantics, the smallest system characterized ...

Bilattices and the Semantics of Logic Programming
... two and the three valued semantical theories follow easily from work on Belnap’s four-valued version (because two and three valued logics are natural sublogics of the four-valued logic). And this is not unique to the four-valued case; with no more work similar results can be established for bilattic ...

Certainly, much research has been done into standard semantics and it is known to be highly incomplete if one aims for framecomple ...

Modal Consequence Relations
... Logic is generally defined as the science of reasoning. Mathematical logic is mainly concerned with forms of reasoning that lead from true premises to true conclusions. Thus we say that the argument from σ0 ; σ1 ; · · · ; σn−1 to δ is logically correct if whenever σi is true for all i < n, then so i ...

However, I assume you already familiar with at least one such system, whether it is a natural deduction system or axiom system. All such standard systems are equivalent and yield the same results.
