Researchers have created a mathematical model that helps predict pragmatic reasoning and may eventually lead to the manufacture of machines that can better understand inference, context and social ...

At the beginning of the 20th century, the German mathematician David Hilbert (1862–1943) advocated an ambitious program to formulate a system of axioms and rules of inference that would encompass all ...

The main result of this paper is the following theorem: each modal logic extending K4 having the branching property below m and the effective m-drop point property is decidable with respect to ...
