Abstract
We formalize the modal operators from the concurrent dynamic logics of Peleg, Nerode and Wijesekera in a multirelational algebraic language based on relation algebras and power allegories, using relational approximation operators on multirelations developed in a companion article. We relate Nerode and Wijesekera’s box operator with a relational approximation operator for multirelations and two related operators that approximate multirelations by different kinds of deterministic multirelations. We provide an algebraic soundness proof of Goldblatt’s axioms for concurrent dynamic logic and one for a multirelational Hoare logic based on Nerode and Wijesekera’s box as applications.
期刊介绍:
Logic has found application in virtually all aspects of Information Technology, from software engineering and hardware to programming and artificial intelligence. Indeed, logic, artificial intelligence and theoretical computing are influencing each other to the extent that a new interdisciplinary area of Logic and Computation is emerging.
The Journal of Logic and Computation aims to promote the growth of logic and computing, including, among others, the following areas of interest: Logical Systems, such as classical and non-classical logic, constructive logic, categorical logic, modal logic, type theory, feasible maths.... Logical issues in logic programming, knowledge-based systems and automated reasoning; logical issues in knowledge representation, such as non-monotonic reasoning and systems of knowledge and belief; logics and semantics of programming; specification and verification of programs and systems; applications of logic in hardware and VLSI, natural language, concurrent computation, planning, and databases. The bulk of the content is technical scientific papers, although letters, reviews, and discussions, as well as relevant conference reviews, are included.
