Nevertheless, axiomatizations have been given for both linear and branching time µ-calculi, with quite involved completeness arguments. We come back to this central problem, considering it from a proof search viewpoint, and provide some new completeness arguments in the linear time µ-calculus. Our results only deal with restricted classes of formulas that closely correspond to (non-alternating) ω-automata but, compared to earlier proofs, our completeness arguments are direct and constructive. We first consider a natural circular proof system based on sequent calculus, and show that it is complete for inclusions of parity automata expressed as formulas, making use of Safra’s construction directly in proof search. We then consider the corresponding finitary proof system, featuring (co)induction rules, and provide a partial translation result from circular to finitary proofs. This yields completeness of the finitary proof system for inclusions of sufficiently deterministic parity automata, and finally for arbitrary Büchi automata.","PeriodicalId":206395,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134129892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of this negative result, we consider bounded-phase reachability, where the processes are restricted to performing either send or receive operations during each phase.

Side effects are expressed via an algebraic signature and interpreted over co-models for that signature: comodels describe the memory model while the transition system captures the control structure. Equational reasoning over comodels is known to be subtle. We identify a criterion on equational theories and classes of comodels that guarantees completeness, over the given class of comodels, of the standard equational calculus, and show that this criterion is satisfied in our leading examples. Based on a complete equational axiomatization of the memory (co)model, we then give a complete inductive-coinductive calculus for simulation between states, where a state simulates another if it has at least the same terminating computations, with the same cumulative effect on global state. Extensional equivalence of computations can then be expressed as mutual simulation. The crucial use of coinduction is to deal with non-termination of the simulated computation where the coinductive rule permits infinite unfolding.","PeriodicalId":206395,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129955773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that the satisfiability problem of a simple sub-logic of bounded PCTL is PSPACE-complete. We prove that PμTL has a small model property and that a decision procedure using 2 player parity games can be employed for the satisfiability problem of PμTL. These results imply that PμTL and qualitative PCTL formulas with only thresholds >0 and =1—are incomparable. We also establish that—in contrast to PCTL—every satisfiable PμTL-formula has a rational model, a model with rational probabilities only.","PeriodicalId":206395,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121201206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While guardedness has been applied fruitfully in the setting of first-order logic, the ability to add fixpoints while retaining decidability has been very limited. Here we show that one of the main restrictions imposed in the past can be lifted, getting a richer decidable logic by allowing fixpoints in which the parameters of the fixpoint can be unguarded. Using automata, we show that the resulting logics have a decidable satisfiability problem, and provide a fine study of the complexity of satisfiability. We show that similar methods apply to decide questions concerning the elimination of fixpoints within formulas of the logic.","PeriodicalId":206395,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117091229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is even provable in Martin-Löf’s intuitionistic type theory. In classical logic, however, even the weaker axiom of countable choice proves the existence of non-computable functions. This logical strength comes at the price of a complicated computational interpretation which involves strong recursion schemes like bar recursion. We take the best from both worlds and define a realizability model for arithmetic and the axiom of choice which encompasses both intuitionistic and classical reasoning. In this model two versions of the axiom of choice can co-exist in a single proof: intuitionistic choice and classical countable choice. We interpret intuitionistic choice efficiently, however its premise cannot come from classical reasoning. Conversely, our version of classical choice is valid in full classical logic, but it is restricted to the countable case and its realizer involves bar recursion. Having both versions allows us to obtain efficient extracted programs while keeping the provability strength of classical logic.","PeriodicalId":206395,"journal":{"name":"2016 31st Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116645061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
