Advances in Formal Verification and Logic

The field of formal verification and logic is moving towards the development of more expressive and powerful formal systems, allowing for the direct expression of arbitrary recursive definitions and the incorporation of uncertain information. Researchers are exploring new techniques, such as dynamic typing and syntactic concept lattice models, to mitigate issues with completeness and decidability in various logics. Noteworthy papers include: Possibilistic Computation Tree Logic, which introduces a complete axiomatization of PoCTL and shows that the satisfiability problem is decidable in exponential time. The paper on grounded arithmetic presents a minimalistic foundation for formal reasoning that allows the direct expression of arbitrary recursive definitions. The work on uniform interpolation property in multi-agent modal logic establishes a purely syntactic algorithm for determining a uniform interpolant formula.
