It is introduced an immune dynamic n-valued Łukasiewicz logic I D Ł n on the base of n-valued Łukasiewicz logic Ł n and corresponding to it immune dynamic M V n -algebra ( I D L n -algebra), 1 < n < ω , which are algebraic counterparts of the logic, that in turn represent two-sorted algebras (M , R , ◊) that combine the varieties of M V n -algebras M = (M , ⊕ , ⊙ , ∼ , 0 , 1) and regular algebras R = (R , ∪ , ; , ∗) into a single finitely axiomatized variety resembling R-module with "scalar" multiplication ◊ . Kripke semantics is developed for immune dynamic Łukasiewicz logic I D Ł n with application in immune system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We shall be concerned with the modal logic BK—which is based on the Belnap–Dunn four-valued matrix, and can be viewed as being obtained from the least normal modal logic K by adding 'strong negation'. Though all four values 'truth', 'falsity', 'neither' and 'both' are employed in its Kripke semantics, only the first two are expressible as terms. We show that expanding the original language of BK to include constants for 'neither' or/and 'both' leads to quite unexpected results. To be more precise, adding one of these constants has the effect of eliminating the respective value at the level of BK-extensions. In particular, if one adds both of these, then the corresponding lattice of extensions turns out to be isomorphic to that of ordinary normal modal logics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The majority of works on modal many-valued logics consider Kripke-style possible worlds frames as the principal semantics despite their well-known axiomatizability issues when considering non-Boolean accessibility relations. The present work explores a more general semantical picture, namely a many-valued version of the classical neighborhood semantics. We present it in two levels of generality. First, we work with modal languages containing only the two usual unary modalities, define neighborhood frames over algebras of the logic FL ew with operators, and show their relation with the usual Kripke semantics (this is actually the highest level of generality where one can give a straightforward definition of the Kripke-style semantics). Second, we define generalized neighborhood frames for arbitrary modal languages over a given class of algebras for an arbitrary protoalgebraic logic and, assuming certain additional conditions, axiomatize the logic of all such frames (which generalizes the completeness theorem of the classical modal logic E with respect to classical neighborhood frames).

The article presents a new semantic framework for modal propositional language. The basic structures of the semantics are Boolean algebras with operators. However, the semantics is not algebraic but rather relational; in it, Boolean algebras with operators play a similar role as Kripke models in standard relational semantics, and the semantics is based on a relation between the elements of Boolean algebras enriched with operators and formulas from modal language. Some basic connections between the new semantic framework and standard algebraic and relational semantics are studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In proof-theoretic semantics of intuitionistic logic it is well known that elimination rules can be generated from introduction rules in a uniform way. If introduction rules discharge assumptions, the corresponding elimination rule is a rule of higher level, which allows one to discharge rules occurring as assumptions. In some cases, these uniformly generated elimination rules can be equivalently replaced with elimination rules that only discharge formulas or do not discharge any assumption at all—they can be flattened in a terminology proposed by Read. We show by an example from propositional logic that not all introduction rules have flat elimination rules. We translate the general form of flat elimination rules into a formula of second-order propositional logic and demonstrate that our example is not equivalent to any such formula. The proof uses elementary techniques from propositional logic and Kripke semantics. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Recently, algebraic Routley–Meyer-style semantics was introduced for basic substructural logics. This paper extends it to fuzzy logics. First, we recall the basic substructural core fuzzy logic MIAL (Mianorm logic) and its axiomatic extensions, together with their algebraic semantics. Next, we introduce two kinds of ternary relational semantics, called here linear Urquhart-style and Fine-style Routley–Meyer semantics, for them as algebraic Routley–Meyer-style semantics.
