Uniform Lyndon Interpolation for Basic Non-normal Modal and Conditional Logics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, a proof-theoretic method to prove uniform Lyndon interpolation for non-normal modal and conditional logics is introduced and applied to show that the logics mathsfE, mathsfM, mathsfEN, mathsfMN, mathsfMC, mathsfK, and their conditional versions, mathsfCE, mathsfCM, mathsfCEN, mathsfCMN, mathsfCMC, mathsfCK, in addition to mathsfCKID have that property. In particular, it implies that these logics have uniform interpolation. Although for some of them the latter is known, the fact that they have uniform Lyndon interpolation is new. Also, the proof-theoretic proofs of these facts are new, as well as the constructive way to explicitly compute the interpolants that they provide. On the negative side, it is shown that the logics mathsfCKCEM and mathsfCKCEMID enjoy uniform interpolation but not uniform Lyndon interpolation. Moreover, it is proved that the non-normal modal logics mathsfEC and mathsfECN and their conditional versions, mathsfCEC and mathsfCECN, do not have Craig interpolation, and whence no uniform (Lyndon) interpolation.
