We define a new fixpoint modal logic, the visibly pushdown ?-calculus (VP-?), as an extension of the modal ?-calculus. The models of this logic are execution trees of structured p...
Model checking has proven to be a useful analysis technique not only for concurrent systems, but also for the genetic regulatory networks (Grns) that govern the functioning of livi...

In this paper we continue the study of ‘sabotage modal logic’ SML which was suggested by van Benthem. In this logic one describes the progression along edges of a transition gr...
Abstract. Conceptual graphs (CGs) share with FOL a fundamental expressiveness limitation: only higher-order logics allow assertions of properties on predicates. This paper intends ...
We describe the expressive power of temporal branching time logics that use the modalities EX and EF. We give a forbidden pattern characterization of the tree languages definable...
