ABSTRACT
We investigate quantified interpreted systems, a semantics for multiagent systems in which agents can reason about individuals, their properties, and the relationships among them. We analyse a first-order epistemic language interpreted on this semantics and show soundness and completeness of Q.S5n, an axiomatisation for these structures.

Constructive and Mechanised Meta-Theory of Intuitionistic Epistemic Logic
Logical Foundations of Computer ScienceAbstractArtemov and Protopopescu proposed intuitionistic epistemic logic (IEL) to capture an intuitionistic conception of knowledge. By establishing completeness, they provided the base for a meta-theoretic investigation of IEL, which was continued by ...
Formalization of the Resolution Calculus for First-Order Logic
I present a formalization in Isabelle/HOL of the resolution calculus for first-order logic with formal soundness and completeness proofs. To prove the calculus sound, I use the substitution lemma, and to prove it complete, I use Herbrand interpretations ...
Formalized Soundness and Completeness of Epistemic Logic
Logic, Language, Information, and ComputationAbstractWe strengthen the foundations of epistemic logic by formalizing the family of normal modal logics in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. We define an abstract canonical model and prove a truth lemma for any logic in the family. We then instantiate ...
