Download or read book Formal Methods for Nonmonotonic and Related Logics written by Karl Schlechta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-03 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two volumes in this advanced textbook present results, proof methods, and translations of motivational and philosophical considerations to formal constructions. In the associated Vol. I the author explains preferential structures and abstract size. In this Vol. II he presents chapters on theory revision and sums, defeasible inheritance theory, interpolation, neighbourhood semantics and deontic logic, abstract independence, and various aspects of nonmonotonic and other logics. In both volumes the text contains many exercises and some solutions, and the author limits the discussion of motivation and general context throughout, offering this only when it aids understanding of the formal material, in particular to illustrate the path from intuition to formalisation. Together these books are a suitable compendium for graduate students and researchers in the area of computer science and mathematical logic.

Download or read book A New Perspective on Nonmonotonic Logics written by Dov M. Gabbay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-05 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors present new results on interpolation for nonmonotonic logics, abstract (function) independence, the Talmudic Kal Vachomer rule, and an equational solution of contrary-to-duty obligations. The chapter on formal construction is the conceptual core of the book, where the authors combine the ideas of several types of nonmonotonic logics and their analysis of 'natural' concepts into a formal logic, a special preferential construction that combines formal clarity with the intuitive advantages of Reiter defaults, defeasible inheritance, theory revision, and epistemic considerations. It is suitable for researchers in the area of computer science and mathematical logic.

Download or read book Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods written by Uwe Egly and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-08-02 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods, TABLEAUX 2002, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July/August 2002. The 20 revised full papers and two system descriptions presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. All current issues surrounding the mechanization of logical reasoning with tableaux and similar methods are addressed. Among the logic calculi investigated are linear logic, temporal logic, modal logics, hybrid logic, multi-modal logics, fuzzy logics, Goedel logic, Lukasiewicz logic, intermediate logics, quantified boolean logic, and, of course, classical first-order logic.

Download or read book Principles of Logic and Logic Programming written by G. Metakides and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-06-13 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic's basic elements are unfolded in this book. The relation of and the transition from Logic to Logic Programming are analysed. With the use and the development of computers in the beginning of the 1950's, it soon became clear that computers could be used, not only for arithmetical computation, but also for symbolic computation. Hence, the first arithmetical computation programs, and the first programs created to answer elementary questions and prove simple theorems, were written simultaneously. The basic steps towards a general method based on Logic, were accomplished in 1965 by Robinson and later by Kowalski and Colmerauer who made use of Logic directly as a Logic Programming language. Each chapter includes solved as well as unsolved exercises provided to help the reader assimilate the corresponding topics. The solved exercises demonstrate how to work methodically, whereas the unsolved exercises aim to stimulate the reader's personal initiative. The contents of the book are self-contained; only an elementary knowledge of analysis is required. Thus, it can be used by students in every academic year, as simply reading material, or in the context of a course. It can also be used by those who utilize Logic Programming without having any particular theoretical background knowledge of Logic, or by those simply interested in Logic and its applications in Logic Programming.

This book was released on 1995-04-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Theorem Proving with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods, TABLEAU '95, held at Schloß Rheinfels, St. Goar, Germany in May 1995. Originally tableau calculi and their relatives were favored primarily as a pedagogical device because of their advantages at the presentation level. The 23 full revised papers in this book bear witness that these methods have now gained fundamental importance in theorem proving, particularly as competitors for resolution methods. The book is organized in sections on extensions, modal logic, intuitionistic logic, the connection method and model elimination, non-clausal proof procedures, linear logic, higher-order logic, and applications
