Logical consecutions in discrete linear temporal logic. (English) Zbl 1110.03010
In this paper the author investigates the notion of logical consequence in temporal logic in terms of inference rules. The study of logical inference is usually based upon the choice of a particular set of axioms and inference rules (axiomatic system), since this notion is not an invariant. Nevertheless, there is a way to define an invariant notion of logical inference, called “admissible rules” or “consecutions”. Such rules are defined by the set of theorems of a given logic (where a logic is conceived as the set of all formulas valid in specified models) using the notion of uniform substitution. Admissible rules have been investigated for several modal and superintuitionistic logics (see, for example, [G. E. Mints, “Derivability of admissible rules.” J. Sov. Math. 6, 417–421 (1976); translation from Zap. Nauchn. Semin. Leningr. Otd. Mat. Inst. Steklova 32, 85–89 (1973; Zbl 0358.02031)], [V. V. Rybakov, “A criterion for admissibility of rules in the modal system S4 and intuitionistic logic” Algebra Logic 23, 369–384 (1984); translation from Algebra Logika 23, No. 5, 546–572 (1984; Zbl 0598.03013)], [S. Ghilardi, “Unification in intuitionistic logic”, J. Symb. Log. 64, No. 2, 859–880 (1999; Zbl 0930.03009)]).
In the present paper, linear temporal logic, LDTL, is studied. LDTL can be conceived as all the formulas valid in the frame $$(\mathbb Z, \leq, \geq)$$ of all integer numbers. An algorithm is constructed that recognizes consecutions admissible in LDTL. Further, the same technique is applied to the linear temporal logic $$\mathcal L(\mathbb N)$$ of all natural numbers. So, both logics LDTL and $$\mathcal L(\mathbb N)$$ are decidable w.r.t. admissible rules.
