Abstract

Hybrid-dynamic first-order logic is a kind of modal logic obtained by enriching many-sorted first-order logic with features that are common to hybrid and to dynamic logics. This provides us with a logical system with an increased expressive power thanks to a number of distinctive attributes: first, the possible worlds of Kripke structures, as well as the nominals used to identify them, are endowed with an algebraic structure; second, we distinguish between rigid symbols, which have the same interpretation across possible worlds – and thus provide support for the standard rigid quantification in modal logic – and flexible symbols, whose interpretation may vary; third, we use modal operators over dynamic-logic actions, which are defined as regular expressions over binary nominal relations. In this context, we propose a general notion of hybrid-dynamic Horn clause and develop a proof calculus for the Horn-clause fragment of hybrid-dynamic first-order logic. We investigate soundness and compactness properties for the syntactic entailment system that corresponds to this proof calculus, and prove a Birkhoff-completeness result for hybrid-dynamic first-order logic.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This last attribute is meant to indicate the fact that users have control over the symbols that should be interpreted the same across the worlds of a Kripke structure.

  2. 2.

    By symbol we usually refer to sorts as well, not only to operation/relation symbols.

  3. 3.

    Note that, by Fact 1, if the arity \( ar \) is rigid, then the sets coincide.

  4. 4.

    In general, by a \(\varDelta [X]\)-expansion of (WM) we understand a \(\varDelta [X]\)-model \((W', M')\) that interprets all symbols in \(\varDelta \) in the same way as (WM).

  5. 5.

    By the definition of reducts, \((W', M')\) and have the same possible worlds.

  6. 6.

    This means that \(h_{w, s}(a_{1}) = h_{w, s}(a_{2})\) for all \(a_{1}, a_{2} \in M_{w, s}\) such that \(a_{1} \equiv _{w, s} a_{2}\).

  7. 7.

    Note that we use the diagrammatic notation for function composition.
