A \(\Pi^0_1\)-bounded fragment of infinitary action logic with exponential
P. 3–16.
Infinitary action logic is an extension of the multiplicative-additive Lambek calculus with Kleene iteration, axiomatized by an 𝜔-rule. Buszkowski and Palka (2007) show that this logic is \(\Pi^0_1\)-complete. As shown recently by Kuznetsov and Speranski, the extension of infinitary action logic with the exponential modality is much harder: \(\Pi^1_1\)-complete. The raise of complexity is of course due to the contraction rule. We investigate fragments of infinitary action logic with exponential, which still include contraction, but have lower (e.g., arithmetically bounded) complexity. In this paper, we show an upper \(\Pi^0_1\) bound for the fragment of infinitary action logic, in which the exponential can be applied only to formulae of implication depth 0 or 1.

Kleene algebras are an algebraic abstraction of regular expressions, one of the central notions in computer science. While the equational theory of Kleene algebras is known to be decidable, reasoning from finite sets of hypotheses (Horn theory) quickly becomes undecidable. This happens even for simple classes of hypotheses which themselves do not involve Kleene star. ...

The linguistic applications of the Lambek calculus suggest its semantics over algebras of formal languages. A straightforward approach to construct such semantics indeed yields a brilliant completeness theorem (Pentus 1995, Ann. Pure Appl. Logic, 75, 179–213). However, extending the calculus with extra operations ruins completeness. In order to mitigate this issue, Wurm (2017, J. Logic Lang. Inf., ...

We introduce infinitary action logic with exponentiation — that is, the multiplicative-additive Lambek calculus extended with Kleene star and with a family of subexponential modalities, which allow some of the structural rules (contraction, weakening, permutation). The logic is presented in the form of an infinitary sequent calculus. We prove cut elimination and, in the case ...

Infinitary action logic can be naturally expanded by adding exponential and subexponential modalities from linear logic. In this article we shall develop infinitary action logic with a subexponential that allows multiplexing (instead of contraction). Both non-commutative and commutative versions of this logic will be considered, presented as infinitary sequent calculi. We shall prove cut admissibility ...

Appeals to randomness in various number-theoretic constructions appear regularly in modern scientific publications. Such famous names as V.I. Arnold, M. Katz, Ya.G. Sinai, and T. Tao are just a few examples. Unfortunately, all of these approaches rely on various, although often very non-trivial and elegant, heuristics. A new analytical approach is proposed to address the ...

It is known that different categorial grammars have surface representation in a fragment of first order multiplicative linear logic (MLL1). We show that the fragment of interest is equivalent to the recently introduced extended tensor type calculus (ETTC). ETTC is a calculus of specific typed terms, which represent tuples of strings, more precisely bipartite graphs ...

The Lambek calculus with the unit can be defined as the atomic theory (algebraic logic) of the class of residuated monoids. This calculus, being a theory of a broader class of algebras than Heyting ones, is weaker than intuitionistic logic. Namely, it lacks structural rules: permutation, contraction, and weakening. We consider two extensions of the ...

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 ...

We analyze the complexity of several NP-hard election-related problems under the assumptions that the voters have group-separable preferences. We show that under this assumption our problems typically remain NP-hard, but we provide more efficient algorithms if additionally the clone decomposition tree is of moderate height. We also show a polynomial-time algorithm for sampling group-separable elections uniformly at ...

CatLog is a categorial grammar parser/theorem-prover
developed by Glyn Morrill and his co-authors. CatLog is based on an
extension of Lambek calculus. A distinctive feature of this extension is
the usage of brackets for controlled non-associativity and a subexponential
modality whose contraction rule interacts with bracketing in a
sophisticated way. We consider two variants of the calculus, appearing in
different versions ...

We investigate language interpretations of two extensions of the Lambek calculus: with additive conjunction and disjunction and with additive conjunction and the unit constant. For extensions with additive connectives, we show that conjunction and disjunction behave differently. Adding both of them leads to incompleteness due to the distributivity law. We show that with conjunction only ...

We consider tensor grammars, which are an example of ‘commutative’ grammars, based on the classical (rather than intuitionistic) linear logic. They can be seen as a surface representation of abstract categorial grammars (ACG) in the sense that derivations of ACG translate to derivations of tensor grammars and this translation is isomorphic on the level of string ...

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’, i.e. 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 modality ...

The Lambek calculus was introduced as a mathematical description of natural languages. The original Lambek calculus is NP-complete (Pentus), while its product-free fragment with only one implication is polynomially decidable (Savateev). We consider Lambek calculus with the additional connectives: conjunction and disjunction. It is known that this system is PSPACE-complete (Kanovich, Kanazawa). We prove, in ...

Logical frameworks allow the specification of deductive systems using the same logical machinery. Linear logical frameworks have been successfully used for the specification of a number of computational, logics and proof systems.
