AbstractWe present novel reductions of the propositional modal logics "Image missing" , "Image missing" , "Image missing" , "Image missing" and "Image missing" to Separated Normal Form with Sets of Modal Levels. The reductions result in smaller formulae than the well-known reductions by Kracht and allow us to use the local reasoning of the prover "Image missing" to determine the satisfiability of modal formulae in these logics. We show experimentally that the combination of our reductions with the prover "Image missing" performs well when compared with a specialised resolution calculus for these logics and with the b̆uilt-in reductions of the first-order prover SPASS.

The beauty of modal logics and their interest lie in their ability to represent such different intensional concepts as knowledge, time, obligation, provability in arithmetic, … according to the properties satisfied by the accessibility relations of their Kripke models (transitivity, reflexivity, symmetry, well-foundedness, …). The purpose of this paper is to study the ability of modal logics to represent the concepts of provability and unprovability in logic programming. The use of modal logic to study the semantics of logic programming with negation is defended with the help of a modal completion formula. This formula is a modal translation of Clack’s formula. It gives soundness and completeness proofs for the negation as failure rule. It offers a formal characterization of unprovability in logic programs. It characterizes as well its stratified semantics.
