概率命题逻辑是经典命题演算形式系统的随机事件语义

经典命题演算形式系统(CPC)中的公式只是一些形式符号,这些形式符号的意义是由具体的解释给出的.概率逻辑是在标准概率空间上建立的一种逻辑体系,是CPC的随机事件语义,对联结词的解释就是集合运算,对形式公式的解释就是事件函数,对逻辑蕴涵和逻辑等价的解释就是事件(集合)包含和事件相等=.由于不存在处处适用的真值函数(算子),概率逻辑不能在CPC内实现概率演算,但可在CPC内实现事件演算,CPC完全适用于概率命题演算.     

概率逻辑系统是与集合代数同态的布尔代数

联结词的本质是命题的运算,只有对所有命题都适用的真值函数才能用于定义联结词.概率逻辑中由于命题的内涵相关性,任何[0,1]上的函数都不能完全适用于任意命题的运算,概率逻辑的联结词不能定义成真值函数.各种算子可以作为一种计算方法使用和研究,但不能代表一个逻辑系统研究系统的性质.概率逻辑系统是概率空间的逻辑表示,是与概率空间中的事件域(集合代数)同态的布尔代数.用事件域上的集合函数精确定义各种联结词,与经典二值逻辑相容,与事实相符,能够在经典逻辑框架内实现概率命题演算.     

Borel型概率计量逻辑

视全体赋值之集为通常乘积拓扑空间,利用该空间上的Borel概率测度在二值命题逻辑中引入了公式的概率真度概念.该方法既克服了计量逻辑学要求赋值集上的概率测度必须为均匀概率测度的无穷可数乘积的局限,又弥补了概率逻辑学只讲局部而缺乏整体性的不足;证明了计量逻辑学中公式的真度、随机真度以及概率逻辑学中公式的概率等概念都可作为本文提出的概率真度的特例而纳入到统一的框架中,从而实现了计量逻辑学与概率逻辑学的融合与统一;证明了逻辑闭理论与赋值空间中的拓扑闭集是一一对应的以及概率真度函数与赋值空间上的Borel概率测度是一样多的等若干结论;本文的第4节给出了公式的概率真度的公理化定义,证明了公式集上满足Kolmogorov公理的任一[0,1]值函数均可由赋值空间上的某Borel概率测度按本文的方法所表出,从而建立了二值命题逻辑框架下的概率计量逻辑的理论体系.

NMG-代数中同态核的结构刻画

逻辑代数上的Bosbach态与Riečan态是经典概率论中Kolmogorov公理的两种不同方式的多值化推广,也是概率计量逻辑中语义计量化方法的代数公理化,是非经典数理逻辑领域中的重要研究分支.现已证明具有Glivenko性质的逻辑代数上的Bosbach态与Riečan态等价,并且逻辑代数的Glivenko性质是研究态算子的构造和存在性的重要工具,因而是态理论中的研究热点之一.研究了NMG-代数基于核算子的Glivenko性质,证明NMG-代数具有核基Glivenko性质的充要条件是该核算子是从此NMG-代数到其像集代数的同态,并给出NMG-代数中同态核的结构刻画.这里,NMG-代数是刻画序和三角模<（[0,1/2,T_NM]）,（[1/2,1,T_M]）>的逻辑系统NMG的语义逻辑代数.

概率联系数化的原理及其在概率推理中的应用

为创建一种新的概率理论使概率推理更为客观,借助简单随机试验探讨随机性的本质,说明了事件的随机性是2个事物相互联系的一种属性.具有随机性的事件称为随机事件,随机事件A与A珔成对存在,但可以分为主事件和伴随事件,由此导出主概率和伴随概率,它们分别对应于主事件的大数概率和即或概率.用联系数表示这2个概率,该联系数称为联系概率(复概率),联系概率中的i是主事件和伴随事件相互转换的纽带,并且对产生的负概率作了解释,举例说明了联系概率在概率推理中的应用.

On finite-state approximants for probabilistic computation tree logic

We generalize the familiar semantics for probabilistic computation tree logic from finite-state to infinite-state labelled Markov chains such that formulas are interpreted as measurable sets. Then we show how to synthesize finite-state abstractions which are sound for full probabilistic computation tree logic and in which measures are approximated by monotone set functions. This synthesis of sound finite-state approximants also applies to finite-state systems and is a probabilistic analogue of predicate abstraction. Sufficient and always realizable conditions are identified for obtaining optimal such abstractions for probabilistic propositional modal logic.     

Logical-Probabilistic Calculus: A Tool for Studying the Reliability and Safety of Structurally Complex Systems

The concept of the probabilistic logic is briefly described as an extension of inductive logic. A clear distinction is made between the probabilistic logic and logical-probabilistic calculus—the branch of mathematics that defines the rules of computation and operation with two-valued (true and false) statements. The logical-probabilistic calculus is based on the algebra of logic and rules of substitution of logical arguments in functions of the algebra of logic by their truth probabilities, and logical operations by arithmetical operations.     

Sequential Dynamic Logic

We introduce a substructural propositional calculus of Sequential Dynamic Logic that subsumes a propositional part of dynamic predicate logic, and is shown to be expressively equivalent to propositional dynamic logic. Completeness of the calculus with respect to the intended relational semantics is established.     

Formalizing the specification and execution of workflows using the event calculus

The event calculus is a logic programming formalism for representing events and their effects especially in database applications. This paper proposes the event calculus as a logic-based methodology for the specification and execution of workflows. It is shown that the control flow graph of a workflow specification can be expressed as a set of logical formulas and the event calculus can be used to specify the role of a workflow manager through a set of rules for the execution dependencies of activities. The proposed framework for a workflow manager maintains a history of events to control the execution of activities. The events are instructions to the workflow manager to coordinate the execution of activities. Based on the already occurred events, the workflow manager triggers new events to schedule new activities in accordance with the control flow graph of the workflow. The net effect is an alternative approach for defining a workflow engine whose operational semantics is naturally integrated with the operational semantics of a deductive database. Within this framework it is possible to model sequential and concurrent activities with or without synchronization. It is also possible to model agent assignment and execution of concurrent workflow instances. The paper, thus, contributes a logical perspective to the task of developing formalization for the workflow management systems.     

A formal framework for software product lines

ContextA Software Product Line is a set of software systems that are built from a common set of features. These systems are developed in a prescribed way and they can be adapted to fit the needs of customers. Feature models specify the properties of the systems that are meaningful to customers. A semantics that models the feature level has the potential to support the automatic analysis of entire software product lines.ObjectiveThe objective of this paper is to define a formal framework for Software Product Lines. This framework needs to be general enough to provide a formal semantics for existing frameworks like FODA (Feature Oriented Domain Analysis), but also to be easily adaptable to new problems.MethodWe define an algebraic language, called SPLA, to describe Software Product Lines. We provide the semantics for the algebra in three different ways. The approach followed to give the semantics is inspired by the semantics of process algebras. First we define an operational semantics, next a denotational semantics, and finally an axiomatic semantics. We also have defined a representation of the algebra into propositional logic.ResultsWe prove that the three semantics are equivalent. We also show how FODA diagrams can be automatically translated into SPLA. Furthermore, we have developed our tool, called AT, that implements the formal framework presented in this paper. This tool uses a SAT-solver to check the satisfiability of an SPL.ConclusionThis paper defines a general formal framework for software product lines. We have defined three different semantics that are equivalent; this means that depending on the context we can choose the most convenient approach: operational, denotational or axiomatic. The framework is flexible enough because it is closely related to process algebras. Process algebras are a well-known paradigm for which many extensions have been defined.     

Expressive Completeness of Duration Calculus

This paper compares the expressive power of first-order monadic logic of order, a fundamental formalism in mathematical logic and the theory of computation, with that of the propositional version of duration calculus (PDC), a formalism for the specification of real-time systems. Our results show that the propositional duration calculus is expressively complete for first-order monadic logic of order. Our semantics for PDC conservatively extends the standard semantics to all positive (including infinite) length intervals. Hence, in view of the expressive completeness, liveness properties can be specified in PDC. This observation refutes a widely believed misconception that the duration calculus cannot specify liveness properties.     

Coq Formalization of ZFC Set Theory for Teaching Scenarios

Discrete mathematics is a foundation course for computer-related majors, and propositional logic, first-order logic, and the axiomatic set theory are important parts of this course. Teaching practice shows that beginners find it difficult to accurately understand abstract concepts, such as syntax, semantics, and reasoning system. In recent years, some scholars have begun introducing interactive theorem provers into teaching to help students construct formal proofs so that they can understand logic systems more thoroughly. However, directly employing the existing theorem provers will increase students'' learning burden since these tools have a high threshold for getting started with them. To address this problem, we develop a prover for the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of Choice (ZFC) in Coq for teaching scenarios. Specifically, the first-order logical reasoning system and the axiomatic set theory ZFC are formalized, and several automated proof tactics specific to reasoning rules are then developed. Students can utilize these automated proof tactics to construct formal proofs of theorems in a textbook-style concise proving environment. This tool has been introduced into the teaching of the course of discrete mathematics for freshmen. Students with no prior theorem-proving experience can quickly construct formal proofs of theorems including mathematical induction and Peano arithmetic with this tool, which verifies the practical effectiveness of this tool.     

针对教学场景的ZFC集合论Coq形式化

离散数学是计算机类专业的基础课程之一,命题逻辑、一阶逻辑与公理集合论是其重要组成部分.教学实践表明,初学者准确理解语法、语义、推理系统等抽象概念是有一定难度的.近年来,已有一些学者开始在教学中引入交互式定理证明工具,以帮助学生构造形式化证明,更透彻地理解逻辑系统.然而,现有的定理证明器有较高上手门槛,直接使用会增加学生的学习负担.鉴于此,在Coq中开发了针对教学场景的ZFC公理集合论证明器.首先,形式化了一阶逻辑推理系统和ZFC公理集合论;之后,开发了数条自动化推理规则证明策略.学生可以在与教科书风格相同的简洁证明环境中使用自动化证明策略完成定理的形式化证明.该工具被用在了大一新生离散数学课程的教学中,没有定理证明经验的学生使用该工具可以快速完成数学归纳法和皮亚诺算术系统等定理的形式化证明,验证了该工具的实际效果.
