AbstractFor countable admissible α, one can add a new infinitary propositional connective to so that the extended language obeys the Barwise compactness theorem, and the set of valid sentences is complete α-r.e.Aside from obeying the compactness theorem and a completeness theorem, ordinary finitary predicate calculus is also truth-functionally complete.In (1), Barwise shows that for countable admissible A, provides a fragment of which obeys a compactness theorem and a completeness theorem. However, we of course lose truth-functional completeness, with respect to infinitary propositional connectives that operate on infinite sequences of propositional variables. This raises the question of studying extensions of the language obtained by adding infinitary propositional connectives, in connexion with the Barwise compactness and completeness theorems, and other metatheorems, proved for Some aspects of this project are proposed in (3). It is the purpose of this paper to answer a few of the more basic questions which arise in this connexion.We have not attempted to study the preservation of interpolation or implicit definability. This could be quite interesting if done systematically.

On the strong semantical completeness of the intuitionistic predicate calculus

In Kripke [8] the first-order intuitionjstic predicate calculus (without identity) is proved semantically complete with respect to a certain model theory, in the sense that every formula of this calculus is shown to be provable if and only if it is valid. Metatheorems of this sort are frequently called weak completeness theorems—the object of the present paper is to extend Kripke's result to obtain a strong completeness theorem for the intuitionistic predicate calculus of first order; i.e., we will show that a formula A of this calculus can be deduced from a set Γ of formulas if and only if Γ implies A. In notes 3 and 5, below, we will indicate how to account for identity, as well. Our proof of the completeness theorem employs techniques adapted from Henkin [6], and makes no use of semantic tableaux; this proof will also yield a Löwenheim-Skolem theorem for the modeling.

AbstractWe investigate the modal logic of interpretability over Peano arithmetic. Our main result is a compactness theorem that extends the arithmetical completeness theorem for the interpretability logic ILMω. This extension concerns recursively enumerable sets of formulas of interpretability logic (rather than single formulas). As corollaries we obtain a uniform arithmetical completeness theorem for the interpretability logic ILM and a partial answer to a question of Orey from 1961. After some simplifications, we also obtain Shavrukov's embedding theorem for Magari algebras (a.k.a. diagonalizable algebras).

In recent years much effort has gone into the study of languages which strengthen the classical first-order predicate calculus in various ways. This effort has been motivated by the desire to find a language which is(I) strong enough to express interesting properties not expressible by the classical language, but(II) still simple enough to yield interesting general results. Languages investigated include second-order logic, weak second-order logic, ω-logic, languages with generalized quantifiers, and infinitary logic.

Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to show how results from the theory of inductive definitions can be used to obtain new compactness theorems for uncountable admissible languages. These will include improvements of the compactness theorem by J. Green [9].In [2] Barwise studies admissible sets satisfying the Σ1-compactness theorem. Our approach is to consider admissible sets satisfying what could be called the abstract extended completeness theorem, that is, sets where the consequence relation of the admissible fragment LA is Σ1-definable over A. We will call such sets Σ1-complete. For countable admissible sets, Σ1-completeness follows from the completeness theorem for LA.Having restricted our attention to Σ1-complete sets we are led to a stronger notion also true on countable admissible sets, namely what we shall call uniform Σ1-completeness. We will see that this notion can be viewed as extending to uncountable admissible sets, properties related to both the “recursion theory” and “proof theory” of countable admissible sets.By following Barwise's recent approach to admissible sets allowing “urelements,” we show that there is a natural connection between certain structures arising from the theory of inductive definability, and uniformly Σ1-complete admissible sets . The structures we have in mind are called uniform Kleene structures.

This paper is concerned with the proof theoretic development of certain infinite languages. These languages contain the usual infinite conjunctions and disjunctions, but in addition to homogeneous quantifiers such as ∀x0x1x2 … and ∃y0y1y2 …, we shall investigate particular subclasses of the dependent quantifiers described by Henkin [1]. The dependent quantifiers of Henkin can be thought of as partially ordered quantifiers defined by a function from one set to the power set of another set. This function assigns to each existentially bound variable, the set of universally bound variables on which it depends.The natural extension of Gentzen's first order predicate calculus to an infinite language with homogeneous quantifiers results in a system that is both valid and complete, and in which a cut elimination theorem can be proved [2]. The problem then arises of devising, if possible, a logical system dealing with general dependent quantifiers that is valid and complete. In this paper a system is presented that is valid and complete for an infinite language with homogeneous quantifiers and dependent quantifiers that are anti-well-ordered, for example, … ∀x2∃y2∀x1∃y1∀x0∃y0.Certain notational conventions will be employed in this paper. Greek letters will be used for ordinal numbers. The ordinal ω is the set of all natural numbers, and 2ω is the set of all ω -sequences of elements of 2 = {0,1}. The power set of S is denoted by P(S). μα[A(α)] stands for the smallest ordinal α such that A (α) holds.

Post’s functional completeness theorem for Boolean functions plays an important role in discrete mathematics. In paper [A functional completeness theorem for De Morgan functions, Discrete Appl. Math. 162 (2014) 1–16, doi: 10.1016/j.dam.2013.08.006.] a functional completeness criterion for De Morgan functions is established by the present author and Yu. Movsisyan. Namely, the concepts of closed, complete and precomplete classes of De Morgan functions are introduced there and a functional completeness theorem for De Morgan functions is proven. As a result it is shown that there are five precomplete classes of De Morgan functions. Four of those are defined as sets of functions preserving some finitary relations. However, the fifth class — the class of zigzag De Morgan functions, is not defined by relations. In this paper, we prove that zigzag De Morgan functions can be defined as De Morgan functions preserving an atmost 16-ary relation.

AbstractA general strategy for proving completeness theorems for quantified modal logics is provided. Starting from free quantified modal logic K. with or without identity, extensions obtained either by adding the principle of universal instantiation or the converse of the Barcan formula or the Barcan formula are considered and proved complete in a uniform way. Completeness theorems are also shown for systems with the extended Barcan rule as well as for some quantified extensions of the modal logic B. The incompleteness of Q°.B + BF is also proved.

Intuitionistic Logics

In classical logic a collection of sets of statements (or equivalently, a property of sets of statements) is called a consistency property if it meets certain simple closure conditions (a definition is given in §2). The simplest example of a consistency property is the collection of all consistent sets in some formal system for classical logic. The Model Existence Theorem then says that any member of a consistency property is satisfiable in a countable domain. From this theorem many basic results of classical logic follow rather simply: completeness theorems, the compactness theorem, the Lowenheim-Skolem theorem, and the Craig interpolation lemma among others. The central position of the theorem in classical logic is obvious. For the infinitary logic the Model Existence Theorem is even more basic as the compactness theorem is not available; [8] is largely based on it.In this paper we define appropriate notions of consistency properties for the first-order modal logics S4, T and K (without the Barcan formula) and for intuitionistic logic. Indeed we define two versions for intuitionistic logic, one deriving from the work of Gentzen, one from Beth; both have their uses. Model Existence Theorems are proved, from which the usual known basic results follow. We remark that Craig interpolation lemmas have been proved model theoretically for these logics by Gabbay ([5], [6]) using ultraproducts. The existence of both ultra-product and consistency property proofs of the same result is a common phenomena in classical and infinitary logic. We also present extremely simple tableau proof systems for S4, T, K and intuitionistic logics, systems whose completeness is an easy consequence of the Model Existence Theorems.
