Book

First-Order Logic and Automated Theorem Proving

TL;DR: This monograph on classical logic presents fundamental concepts and results in a rigorous mathematical style and is intended for those interested in computer science and mathematics at the beginning graduate level.
Book

Proof Methods for Modal and Intuitionistic Logics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of analytical modal tableaus and consistent properties of these modalities, including logical consequence, compactness, interpolation, and other topics.
Journal ArticleDOI

A kripke-kleene semantics for logic programs**

TL;DR: The use of conventional classical logic is misleading for characterizing the behavior of logic programs because a logic program, when queried, will do one of three things: succeed with the query, fail with it, or not respond because it has fallen into infinite backtracking.
Book

First-Order Modal Logic

TL;DR: In this article, Propositional Modal Logic and First-Order Axiom Systems have been proposed for the first-order tableau proof system, which is based on the notion of equality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bilattices and the semantics of logic programming

TL;DR: Bilattices are a family of truth-value spaces that allow elegantly for missing or conflicting information, and a fixed-point semantics is developed for logic programming, allowing any bilattice as the space of truth values.
