The aim of propositional algorithmic logic is to investigate the properties of program connectives. Complete axiomatic systems for deterministic as well as for nondeterministic interpretations of program variables are presented. They constitute basic sets of tools useful in the practice of proving the properties of program schemes. Propositional theories of data structures, e.g. the arithmetic of natural numbers and stacks, are constructed. This shows that in many aspects PAL is close to first-order algorithmic logic. Tautologies of PAL become tautologies of algorithmic logic after replacing program variables by programs and propositional variables by formulas. Another corollary to the completeness theorem asserts that it is possible to eliminate nondeterministic program variables and replace them by schemes with deterministic atoms.

As we remarked in the preface, although this volume is a sequel to our earlier volume G.I.T. (Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems), it can be read independently by those readers familiar with at least one proof of Gödel’s first incompleteness theorem. In this chapter we give the notation, terminology and main results of G.I.T. that are needed for this volume. Readers familiar with G.I.T. can skip this chapter or perhaps glance through it briefly as a refresher. §0. Preliminaries. we assume the reader to be familiar with the basic notions of first-order logic—the logical connectives, quantifiers, terms, formulas, free and bound occurrences of variables, the notion of interpretations (or models), truth under an interpretation, logical validity (truth under all interpretations), provability (in some complete system of first-order logic with identity) and its equivalence to logical validity (Gödel’s completeness theorem). we let S be a system (theory) couched in the language of first-order logic with identity and with predicate and/or function symbols and with names for the natural numbers. A system S is usually presented by taking some standard axiomatization of first-order logic with identity and adding other axioms called the non-logical axioms of S.we associate with each natural number n an expression n̅ of S called the numeral designating n (or the name of n).we could, for example, take 0̅,1̅,2̅, . . . ,to be the expressions 0,0', 0",..., as we did in G.I.T. we have our individual variables arranged in some fixed infinite sequence v1, v2,..., vn , . . . . By F(v1, ..., vn) we mean any formula whose free variables are all among v1,... ,vn, and for any (natural) numbers k1,...,kn by F(к̅1 ,... к̅n), we mean the result of substituting the numerals к̅1 ,... к̅n, for all free occurrences of v1,... ,vn in F respectively.

Axiomatic Systems

In this paper I deal with first order logic and axiomatic systems. I present the metalogical results that show the property of satisfying Modus Ponens as a necessary and sufficient condition for the extended completeness of the system, and to the Deduction Metatheorem as a necessary and sufficient condition for the extended correctness of the system. Both supposing that the system satisfies the corresponding restricted properties. These results show that the choice of that rule of inference and of that metatheorem, for any particular axiomatic system, are not a matter of personal liking or of practical convenience, but they play a fundamental role for the extended correctness-completeness properties of the axiomatic system. As a matter of fact, they can be considered as structural properties that characterize the fulfilling of the Extended Correctness and Completeness theorem for the axiomatic system.

Block Structured

A language is considered in which the reader can express such properties of block-structured programs with recursive functions as correctness and partial correctness. The semantics of this language is fully described by a set of schemes of axioms and inference rules. The completeness theorem and the soundness theorem for this axiomatization are proved.

Truth Value

This paper contains some results concerning the completeness of a first-order system of infinite valued logicThere are under consideration two distinct notions of completeness corresponding to the two notions of validity (see Definition 3) and strong validity (see Definition 4). Both notions of validity, whether based on the unit interval [0, 1] or based on linearly ordered MV-algebras, use the element 1 as the designated truth value. Originally, it was thought by many investigators in the field that one should be able to prove that the set of valid sentences is recursively enumerable. It was first proved by Rutledge in [9] that the set of valid sentences in the monadic first-order infinite valued logic is recursively enumerable.

De Bruijn Indices

AbstractAtoms and de Bruijn indices are two well-known representation techniques for data structures that involve names and binders. However, using either technique, it is all too easy to make a programming error that causes one name to be used where another was intended. We propose an abstract interface to names and binders that rules out many of these errors. This interface is implemented as a library in Agda. It allows defining and manipulating term representations in nominal style and in de Bruijn style. The programmer is not forced to choose between these styles: on the contrary, the library allows using both styles in the same program, if desired. Whereas indexing the types of names and terms with a natural number is a well-known technique to better control the use of de Bruijn indices, we index types with worlds. Worlds are at the same time more precise and more abstract than natural numbers. Via logical relations and parametricity, we are able to demonstrate in what sense our library is safe, and to obtain theorems for free about world-polymorphic functions. For instance, we prove that a world-polymorphic term transformation function must commute with any renaming of the free variables. The proof is entirely carried out in Agda.

On the strong semantical completeness of the intuitionistic predicate calculus

Completeness Theorems

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.

Natural Classes

In [3], Martin computed the degrees of certain classes of RE sets. To state the results succinctly, some notation is useful.If A is a set (of natural numbers), dg(A) is the (Turing) degree of A. If A is a class of sets, dg(A) = {dg(A): A ∈ A). Let M be the class of maximal sets, HHS the class of hyperhypersimple sets, and DS the class of dense simple sets. Martin showed that dg(M), dg(HHS), and dg(DS) are all equal to the set H of RE degrees a such that a′ = 0″.Let M* be the class of coinfinite RE sets having no superset in M; and define HHS* and DS* similarly. Martin showed that dg(DS*) = H. In [2], Lachlan showed (among other things) that dg(M*)⊆K, where K is the set of RE degrees a such that a″ > 0″. We will show that K ⊆ dg (HHS*). Since maximal sets are hyperhypersimple, this gives dg(M*) = dg (HHS*) = K.These results suggest a problem. In each case in which dg(A) has been calculated, the set of nonzero degrees in dg(A) is either H or K or the empty set or the set of all nonzero RE degrees. Is this always the case for natural classes A? Natural here might mean that A is invariant under all automorphisms of the lattice of RE sets; or that A is definable in the first-order theory of that lattice; or anything else which seems reasonable.

Martin has shown that the notions of ancestral and class-inclusion are sufficient to develop the theory of natural numbers in a system containing variables of only one type.The purpose of the present paper is to show that an analogous construction is possible in a system containing, beyond the quantificational level, only the ancestral and the ordered pair.The formulae of our system comprise quantificational schemata and anything which can be obtained therefrom by writing pairs (e.g. (x; y), ((x; y); (x; (y; y))) etc.) for free variables, or by writing ancestral abstracts (e.g. (*xyFxy) etc.) for schematic letters, or both.The ancestral abstract (*xyFxy) means what is usually meant by ; and the formula (*xyFxy)zw answers to Martin's (zw; xy)(Fxy).The system presupposes a non-simple applied functional calculus of the first order, with a rule of substitution for predicate letters; over and above this it has three axioms for the ancestral and two for the ordered pair.

AbstractModal logic S5 is commonly viewed as an epistemic logic that captures the most basic properties of knowledge. Kripke proved a completeness theorem for the first-order modal logic S5 with respect to a possible worlds semantics. A multiagent version of the propositional S5 as well as a version of the propositional S5 that describes properties of distributed knowledge in multiagent systems has also been previously studied. This article proposes a version of S5-like epistemic logic of distributed knowledge with quantifiers ranging over the set of agents, and proves its soundness and completeness with respect to a Kripke semantics.
