Sequent calculi for branching time temporal logics of knowledge and beliefwith awareness: Completeness and decidability

Abstract

In this paper, we consider branching time temporal logic CT L with epistemic modalities for knowledge (belief) and with awareness operators. These logics involve the discrete-time linear temporal logic operators “next” and “until” with the branching temporal logic operator “on all paths”. In addition, the temporal logic of knowledge (belief) contains an indexed set of unary modal operators “agent i knows” (“agent i believes”). In a language of these logics, there are awareness operators. For these logics, we present sequent calculi with a restricted cut rule. Thus, we get proof systems where proof-search becomes decidable. The soundness and completeness for these calculi are proved.
