Those unfamiliar with mathematical logic or the concept of ordinals are advised to consult those articles first.
An infinitary logic is a logic that allows infinitely long statements and/or infinitely long proofs . Infinitary logics have different properties from those of standard first-order logic . In particular, infinitary logics often fail to be compact or complete. Notions of compactness and completeness that are equivalent in finitary logic sometimes are not so in infinitary logic. So for infinitary logics the notions of strong compactness and strong completeness are defined. In this article we shall be concerned with Hilbert-type infinitary logics, as these have been extensively studied and constitute the most straightforward extensions of finitary logic. These are not, however, the only infinitary logics around. Considering whether a certain infinitary logic named -logic is complete promises to throw light on the continuum hypothesis

    University of Pennsylvania Department of Computer and Information Science Technical Report No. MS-CIS-91-97. ABSTRACT:
    The extensions of first-order logic with a least fixed point operators (FO + LFP) and with a partial fixed point operator (FO + PFP) are known to capture the complexity classes P and PSPACE respectively in the presence of an ordering relation over finite structures. Recently, Abiteboul and Vianu [AV91b] investigated the relation of these two logics in the absence of an ordering, using a mchine model of generic computation. In particular, they showed that the two languages have equivalent expressive power if and only if P = PSPACE. These languages can also be seen as fragments of an infinitary logic where each formula has a bounded number of variables, L (see, for instance, [KV90]). We present a treatment of the results in [AV91b] from this point of view. In particular, we show that we can write a formula of FO + LFP and P from ordered structures to classes of structures where every element is definable. We also settle a conjecture mentioned in [AV91b] by showing that FO + LFP in properly contained in the polynomial time computable fragment of

A posting from John Sowa without specifying which of the three concrete syntaxes was the original source or the intended target of the information." The development team "hopes that the CL standard can be used for many other languages that have a declarative semantics, such as RDF, UML, DAML, or Topic Maps. There will be an XML representation of the abstract categories, which will conform to all accepted W3C standards. There may also be XML representations of the concrete syntaxes as well; TPC notation will require Unicode for the special logical symbols, but they could also be represented, as in HTML and XML, by symbols like or

    Carol Karp
    August 10, 1926 - August 20, 1972 Carol Ruth Vander Velde was born in Forest Grove, Michigan, part of the Dutch farming community near Holland, Michigan. She attended school there and in Ohio where her family moved when she was 11. She graduated with distinction from Manchester College, Indiana, in 1948, and then earned a master's degree in mathematics from Michigan State University in 1950. Before entering the graduate program in mathematics at the University of Southern California in 1951, she spent time as a violist in a touring all-woman orchestra. During her first year at USC, Carol married Arthur Karp. During the next 8 years she pursued her graduate studies while following her thesis advisor, Leon Henkin, and her husband around the country and the world. She spent two years at the University of California at Berkeley and parts of the years 1957 and 1958 in Japan where her husband was stationed in the Navy. In 1958 she accepted a position at the University of Maryland. Karp finally received her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in 1959 with a dissertation on "Languages with expressions of infinite length" [ Abstract Karp spent her entire career at the University of Maryland, reaching the rank of professor only 7 years after earning her Ph.D. She was a highly respected member of the international logic community and a leader in the developing theory of infinitary logic.

      Abstract Let L be the infinitary language obtained from the first-order language of graphs by closure under conjunctions and disjunctions of arbitrary sets of formulas, provided only finitely many distinct variables occur among the formulas. Let p(n) be the edge probability of the random graph on n vertices. Previous articles have shown that when p(n) is constant or p(n) is n raised to the power -a and a is greater than 1, then every sentence in L has probability that converges as n gets large; however, when a is less than 1 and is rational, then there are first-order sentences whose probability does not converge. This article completes the picture for L and random graphs with edge probability of the form described above. It is shown that if a is irrational, then every sentence in L has probability that converges to or 1. It is also shown that if a = 1, then there are sentences in the deterministic transitive closure logic (and therefore in L), whose probability does not converge.

    Simulated class quantification
    Quine endorses what he calls "simulated" class quantification in Philosophy of Logic (pp. 72-74). The idea is this. Suppose the object language to have only finitely many atomic predicates P1,...,Pn. For any formula in which a predicate, say Pi, occurs (which we will write as '...Pi...'), we can simulate existential quantification over Pi in '...Pi...' (which we will write as (EPi)(...Pi...)) by the disjunction ...P1... or ...P2... or...or ...Pn...
    Obviously this works only on account that there are finitely many atomic predicates. And if you think about it, it lets you simulate quantification over only a very restricted set of "classes", viz. the Pi. It is common practice, however, to think of each open formula with n free variables as an n-ary predicate. But since there are infinitely many n-ary predicates in this sense (i.e. there are infinitely many open formulas with n free variables), it will be impossible to simulate quantification over them (unless conjunction/disjunction over infinitely many formulas is allowedbut in the context of PoL, i.e. classical logic, it is not).
    In fact, simulated quantification seems so useless that one has to wonder why he dedicated an entire section of PoL to it.

    Extending the Language of Set Theory
    Abstract: We discuss the problems of incompleteness and inexpressibility. We introduce almost self-referential formulas, use them to extend set theory, and relate their expressive power to that of infinitary logic. We discuss the nature of proper classes. Finally, we introduce and axiomatize a powerful extension to set theory. List of Sections: Introduction and Outline Incompleteness and Inexpressibility Almost Self-Referential Formulas Expressive Power of the Extensions ... Higher Order Set Theory
    Introduction and Outline
    Despite vast advances in set theory and mathematics in general, the language of set theory, which is also the language of mathematics, has remained the same since the beginning of modern set theory and first order logic. That formal language has served us well, but it is of necessity limited, and does not adequately deal with properties for which there is no set of all objects satisfying the property. The purpose of this paper is to address the deficiencies in the expressive power of ordinary set theory. The second section discusses incompleteness and inexpressibility in general. Much of the paper discusses logic that allows some self-reference but with limitations to prevent loops and infinite regress. The logic is more expressive than (a formulation of) infinitary logic. We show that levels of infinitary logic correspond to levels of almost self-referential logic and levels of constructible hierarchy above V. We use strong logics and weak set theories to clarify the strengths of inaccessible and Mahlo cardinals. We also use large cardinals to get reflection principles, and use reflection principles to axiomatize extensions to the language of set theory.

    Modular Algorithms for Heterogeneous Modal Logics Lutz Schr¶der and Dirk Pattinson
    State-based systems and modal logics for reasoning about them often heterogeneously combine a number of features such as non-determinism and probabilities. Here, we show that the combination of features can be reflected algorithmically and develop modular decision procedures for heterogeneous modal logics. The modularity is achieved by formalising the underlying state-based systems as multi-sorted coalgebras and associating both a logical and an algorithmic description to a number of basic building blocks. Our main result is that logics arising as combinations of these building blocks can be decided in polynomial space provided that this is the case for the components. By instantiating the general framework to concrete cases, we obtain PSPACE decision procedures for a wide variety of structurally different logics, describing e.g. Segala systems and games with uncertain information.

    Mathematical Research
    Currently, I am trying to understand mathematical games and random structures. I have some pages for logical and combinatorial games linked from this page, and I will be putting up some stuff on random structures in the foreseeable future. The most of this page is devoted to past papers. I am trying to understand mathematical games - i.e., those things known as "mathematical games" by logicians and combinatorists, and as "extended games" by game theorists. So what I am doing in this web-site is describing some important research (including my own) with references for people who want to explore further. Since I am trying to learn something about these subjects, I appreciate questions, comments, and even (gentle) criticism. I especially appreciate new kinds of games and new models of random structures, and other areas of game theory that I have missed. Perhaps I should explain where I am coming from. I got a Ph.D. in mathematics from UCLA in 1986, where I had worked on abstract recursion under Yiannis Moschovakis. (The kind of abstract recursion I worked on was elementary induction, which is now called Least Fixed Point logic, or just LFP to very theoretical computer scientists.) Most of my thesis was on recursion on infinite models, but I soon was doing work on finite models. I also spent some time working on ramsey theory, and also in analysis. More recently, I became convinced that pebble games were the key to understanding LFP. I do not mean the pebble games developed by Ehrenfeucht, I mean the more ancient game of the sort: you have a statement P and a structure M, and there are two players, call them Eloise and Abelard (some people call them I and II, or Angel and Demon, or Assertor and Denier). They play a game on M in such a way that Eloise has a winning strategy iff P is true on M. For example, if M was a graph, and P was the statement "the graph is connected", then the game would be as follows.

    Beth definability theorem
    Definability theorems provide answers to the question to what extent implicit definitions can be made explicit. Questions of this kind are a traditional issue in mathematics, as is illustrated by the following examples. 1) Let be a polynomial over the real numbers having exactly one real root . Then the equation can be viewed as an implicit definition of , i.e. as a condition on a real number that involves and uniquely determines a number satisfying it, namely . The question whether there is an explicit definition of , i.e. a description of not involving itself, comes up to the question whether the implicit definition can be made explicit, say by representing the solution by radicals. Of course, an explicit definition of , say , can also be viewed as an implicit definition. In fact, this example mirrors the general experience that explicit definitions are special cases of implicit definitions. 2) Similarly to the above, one may consider a differential equation (cf. also
