Models for the Displacement Calculus

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The displacement calculus mathbfD is a conservative extension of the Lambek calculus mathbfL1 (with empty antecedents allowed in sequents). mathbfL1 can be said to be the logic of concatenation, while mathbfD can be said to be the logic of concatenation and intercalation. In many senses, it can be claimed that mathbfD mimics mathbfL1 in that the proof theory, generative capacity and complexity of the former calculus are natural extensions of the latter calculus. In this paper, we strengthen this claim. We present the appropriate classes of models for mathbfD and prove some completeness results; strikingly, we see that these results and proofs are natural extensions of the corresponding ones for mathbfL1.
