Abstract
We study the topological μ-calculus, based on both Cantor derivative and closure modalities, proving completeness, decidability, and finite model property over general topological spaces, as well as over T0 and TD spaces. We also investigate the relational μ-calculus, providing general completeness results for all natural fragments of the μ-calculus over many different classes of relational frames. Unlike most other such proofs for μ-calculi, ours is model theoretic, making an innovative use of a known method from modal logic (the ‘final’ submodel of the canonical model), which has the twin advantages of great generality and essential simplicity.
