abstract. We establish that the quantifier alternation hierarchy of formulae of Second-Order Propositional Modal Logic (SOPML) induces an infinite corresponding semantic hierarchy ...
We investigate the major mathematical theories of space from a modal standpoint: topology, affine geometry, metric geometry, and vector algebra. This allows us to see new fine-str...
This paper presents a survey of topological spatial logics, taking as its point of departure the interpretation of the modal logic S4 due to McKinsey and Tarski. We consider the ef...

We introduce the extended modal logic EML with regularity constraints and full Presburger constraints on the number of children that generalize graded modalities, also known as nu...
Among the formalisms for qualitative spatial reasoning, the Region Connection Calculus and its variant, the constraint algebra RCC8, have received particular attention recently. A...
