Modal logics, both propositional and predicate, have been used in computer science since the late 1970s. One of the most important properties of modal logics of relevance to their applications in computer science is the complexity of their satisfiability problem. The complexity of satisfiability for modal logics is rather high: it ranges from NP-complete to ...

We study solutions of difference equations in the rings of sequences and, more generally, solutions of equations with a monoid action in the ring of sequences indexed by the monoid. This framework includes, for example, difference equations on grids (e.g., standard difference schemes) and difference equations in functions on words.
On the universality side, we prove ...

We study the effect of restricting the number of individual variables, as well as the number and arity of predicate letters, in languages of first-order predicate modal logics of finite Kripke frames on the logics’ algorithmic properties. A finite frame is a frame with a finite set of possible worlds. The languages we consider have ...

The Lambek calculus can be considered as a version of non-commutative intuitionistic linear logic. One of the interesting features of the Lambek calculus is the so-called “Lambek’s restriction,” that is, the antecedent of any provable sequent should be non-empty. In this paper we discuss ways of extending the Lambek calculus with the linear logic exponential ...

In the modern world, there is a huge increase in the usage of various technologies which may
produce heterogeneous data. Using the latest security algorithms like Triple Data Encryption
Standard (TDES), Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) these

there exist vulnerabilities to the user ...

The book contains the necessary information from the algorithm theory, graph theory, combinatorics. It is considered partially recursive functions, Turing machines, some versions of the algorithms (associative calculus, the system of substitutions, grammars, Post's productions, Marcov's normal algorithms, operator algorithms). The main types of graphs are described (multigraphs, pseudographs, Eulerian graphs, Hamiltonian graphs, trees, bipartite ...

We prove undecidability and pinpoint the place in the arithmetical hierarchy for commutative action logic, i.e. the equational theory of commutative residuated Kleene lattices (action lattices), and infinitary commutative action logic, the equational theory of *-continuous commutative action lattices. Namely, we prove that the former is Σ01�10-complete and the latter is Π01�10-complete. Thus, the situation is the ...

It is well-known that the Dolev–Yao adversary is a powerful adversary. Besides acting as the network, intercepting, decomposing, composing and sending messages, he can remember as much information as he needs. That is, his memory is unbounded. We recently proposed a weaker Dolev–Yao like adversary, which also acts as the network, but whose memory is ...

We obtain an effective embedding of the classical predicate logic into the logic of partial quasiary predicates. The embedding has the property that an image of a non-theorem of the classical logic is refutable in a model of the logic of partial quasiary predicates that has the same cardinality as the classical countermodel of the ...

We give a proof-theoretic and algorithmic complexity analysis for systems introduced by Morrill to serve as the core of the CatLog categorial grammar parser. We consider two recent versions of Morrill’s calculi, and focus on their fragments including multiplicative (Lambek) connectives, additive conjunction and disjunction, brackets and bracket modalities, and the ! subexponential modality. For ...

In this article, we investigate the logical structure of memory models of theoretical and practical interest. Our main interest is in “the logic behind a fixed memory model”, rather than in “a model of any kind behind a given logical system”. As an effective language for reasoning about such memory models, we use the formalism ...

Hugh MacColl is commonly seen as a pioneer of modal and many-valued logic, given his introduction of modalities that go beyond plain truth and falsehood. But a closer examination shows that such a legacy is debatable and should take into account the way in which these modalities proceeded. We argue that, while MacColl devised a ...

Language and relational models, or L-models and R-models, are two natural classes of models for the Lambek calculus. Completeness w.r.t. L-models was proved by Pentus and completeness w.r.t. R-models by Andréka and Mikulás. It is well known that adding both additive conjunction and disjunction together yields incompleteness, because of the distributive law. The product-free Lambek ...

We prove that the positive fragment of first-order intuitionistic logic in the language with two individual variables and a single monadic predicate letter, without functional symbols, constants, and equality, is undecidable. This holds true regardless of whether we consider semantics with expanding or constant domains. We then generalise this result to intervals [QBL;QKC] and [QBL;QFL], where QKC ...

Program obfuscation is a semantic-preserving transformation aimed at bringing a program into such a form, which impedes the understanding of its algorithm and data structures or prevents extracting of some valuable information from the text of a program. Since obfuscation could find wide use in computer security, information hiding and cryptography, security requirements to program ...

We consider the quantifier-free languages, Bc and Bc°, obtained by augmenting the signature of Boolean algebras with a unary predicate representing, respectively, the property of being connected, and the property of having a connected interior. These languages are interpreted over the regular closed sets of Rn (n ≥ 2) and, additionally, over the regular closed ...

Turing machine adequately accounts for the temporal aspect of real computing
but fails to do so for certain spatial aspects of computing, in particular, in the
case of distributed computing systems. This motivates a search for alternative models of
computing, which could take such spatial aspects into account. I argue that a revision of
the received views on the ...

In this paper we prove that the derivability problem for a fragment of this calculus is algorithmically undecidable. ...

We extend the language of the modal logic K4 of transitive frames with two sorts of modalities. In addition to the usual possibility modality (which means that a formula holds in some successor of a given point), we consider graded modalities (a formula holds in at least n successors) and converse graded modalities (aformula holds ...
