A conditional is natural if it fulfills the three following conditions. (1) It coincides with the classical conditional when restricted to the classical values and ; (2) it satisfies the Modus Ponens; and (3) it is assigned a designated value whenever the value assigned to its antecedent is less than or equal to the value assigned to its consequent. The aim of this paper is to provide a "bivalent" Belnap-Dunn semantics for all natural implicative expansions of Kleene's strong 3-valued matrix with two designated elements. (We understand the notion "natural conditional" according to N. Tomova, "A lattice of implicative extensions of regular Kleene's logics",
The logic BN4 was defined by R. T. Brady in 1982. It can be considered as the 4-valued logic of the relevant conditional. E4 is a variant of BN4 that can be considered as the 4-valued logic of (relevant) entailment. The aim of this paper is to define reduced general Routley-Meyer semantics for BN4 and E4. It is proved that BN4 and E4 are strongly sound and complete w.r.t. their respective semantics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
