  • A Resolution-Based Theorem Prover for $${\textsf {K}}_{n}^{}$$Kn: Architecture, Refinements, Strategies and Experiments
    Journal of Automated Reasoning, 2020
    Co-Authors: Cláudia Nalon, Ullrich Hustadt, Clare Dixon
    Abstract:

    In this paper we describe the implementation of , a resolution-based prover for the basic Multimodal Logic $${\textsf {K}}_{n}^{}$$ K n . The prover implements a resolution-based calculus for both local and global reasoning. The user can choose different normal forms, refinements of the basic resolution calculus, and strategies. We describe these options in detail and discuss their implications. We provide experiments comparing some of these options and comparing the prover with other provers for this Logic.

  • Modal Resolution: Proofs, Layers and Refinements
    ACM Transactions on Computational Logic, 2019
    Co-Authors: Cláudia Nalon, Clare Dixon, Ullrich Hustadt
    Abstract:

    Resolution-based provers for Multimodal normal Logics require pruning of the search space for a proof in order to ameliorate the inherent intractability of the satisfiability problem for such Logics. We present a clausal modal-layered hyper-resolution calculus for the basic Multimodal Logic, which divides the clause set according to the modal level at which clauses occur in order to reduce the number of possible inferences. We show that the calculus is complete for the Logics being considered. We also show that the calculus can be combined with other strategies. In particular, we discuss the completeness of combining modal layering with negative and ordered resolution and provide experimental results comparing the different refinements.

  • IJCAI - KSP: A Resolution-based Prover for Multimodal K, Abridged Report
    Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2017
    Co-Authors: Cláudia Nalon, Ullrich Hustadt, Clare Dixon
    Abstract:

    We briefly describe an implementation of a hyperresolution-based calculus for the propositional basic Multimodal Logic, Kn. The prover, KSP, which allows for both local and global reasoning, is designed to support experimentation with different combinations of refinements for its basic calculus. We present an experimental evaluation that compares K S P with a range of existing reasoners for Kn.

  • Open image in new window: A Resolution-Based Prover for Multimodal K
    2016
    Co-Authors: Cláudia Nalon, Ullrich Hustadt, Clare Dixon
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we describe an implementation of a hyper-resolution-based calculus for the propositional basic Multimodal Logic, Open image in new window . The prover was designed to support experimentation with different combinations of refinements for its basic calculus: it is primarily based on the set of support strategy, which can then be combined with other refinements, simplification techniques and different choices for the underlying normal form and clause selection. The prover allows for both local and global reasoning. We show experimental results for different combinations of strategies and comparison with existing tools.

  • Exploring Properties of Normal Multimodal Logics in Simple Type Theory with LEO-II
    2020
    Co-Authors: Christoph Benzmüller, Lawrence C. Paulson
    Abstract:

    There are two well investigated approaches to automate reasoning in modal Logics: the direct approach and the translational approach. The direct approach [6, 7, 14, 27] develops specific calculi and tools for the task; the translational approach [29, 30] transforms modal Logic formulas into firstorder Logic and applies standard first-order tools. Embeddings of modal Logics into higher-order Logic, however, have not yet been widely studied, although Multimodal Logic can be regarded as a natural fragment of simple type theory. Gallin [15] appears to mention the idea first. He presents an embedding of modal Logic into a 2-sorted type theory. This idea is picked up by Gamut [16] and a related embedding has recently been studied by Hardt and Smolka [17]. Carpenter [12] proposes to use lifted connectives, an idea that is also underlying the embeddings presented by Merz [26], Brown [11], Harrison [18, Chap. 20], and Kaminski and Smolka [22]. In this paper we pick up and extend the embedding of Multimodal Logics in simple type theory as studied by Brown [11]. The starting point is a characterization of Multimodal Logic formulas as particular λ-terms in simple type theory. A distinctive characteristic of the encoding is that the definiens of the 2R operator λ-abstracts over the accessibility relation R. We illustrate that this supports the formulation of meta properties of encoded Multimodal Logics such as the correspondence between certain axioms and properties of the accessibility relation R. We show that some of these meta properties can even be efficiently automated within our higher-order theorem prover Leo-II [9] via cooperation with the first-order automated

  • Multimodal and intuitionistic Logics in simple type theory
    Logic Journal of The Igpl \ Bulletin of The Igpl, 2010
    Co-Authors: Christoph Benzmueller, Lawrence C. Paulson
    Abstract:

    We study straightforward embeddings of propositional normal Multimodal Logic and propositional intuitionistic Logic in simple type theory. The correctness of these embeddings is easily shown. We give examples to demonstrate that these embeddings provide an effective framework for computational investigations of various non-classical Logics. We report some experiments using the higher-order automated theorem prover LEO-II.

  • Quantified Multimodal Logics in Simple Type Theory
    arXiv: Artificial Intelligence, 2009
    Co-Authors: Christoph Benzmueller, Lawrence C. Paulson
    Abstract:

    We present a straightforward embedding of quantified Multimodal Logic in simple type theory and prove its soundness and completeness. Modal operators are replaced by quantification over a type of possible worlds. We present simple experiments, using existing higher-order theorem provers, to demonstrate that the embedding allows automated proofs of statements in these Logics, as well as meta properties of them.
