Abstract
Behavioural logic is a generalization of first-order logic where the equality predicate is interpreted by a behavioural equality of objects (and not by their identity). We establish simple and general sufficient conditions under which the behavioural validity of some first-order formula with respect to a given first-order specification is equivalent to the standard validity of the same formula in a suitably enriched specification. As a consequence any proof system for first-order logic can be used to prove the behavioural validity of first-order formulas.KeywordsContext VariableFunction SymbolAbstract AlgebraBehavioural SpecificationBehavioural EqualityThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
