Equivalence for the G3'-stable models semantics

Two programs P1 and P2 are said to be strongly G03 -stable equivalent, if for every program P , the programs P1 ∪ P and P2 ∪ P are G03 -stable equivalent, i.e. they have the same G03 -stable models. The notion of strongly equivalent logic programs is interesting since, given two sets of rules that ...

Define the “exists two” operator 32 ϕ as follows: M, w |= 32 ϕ iff there is v1 , v2 ∈ W such that v1 6= v2 , M, v1 |= ϕ and M, v2 |= ϕ The exist two 32 operator is not definable in the basic modal language.

Curry–Howard correspondence
In programming language theory and proof theory, the Curry–Howard correspondence (also known as the Curry–Howard isomorphism or equivalence, or the proofs-as-programs and propositions- or formulae-as-types interpretation) is the direct relationship between computer programs and mathematical proofs. It is a generalization of a syntactic analogy between systems of formal logic and computational calculi that was first discovered by the American mathematician Haskell Curry and logician William Alvin Howard. It is the link between logic and computation that is usually attributed to Curry and Howard, although the idea is related to the operational interpretation of intuitionistic logic given in various formulations by L. E. J. Brouwer, Arend Heyting and Andrey Kolmogorov (see Brouwer–Heyting–Kolmogorov interpretation) and Stephen Kleene (see Realizability). The relationship has been extended to include category theory as the three-way Curry–Howard–Lambek correspondence.
