Axiomatizations of two systems of modal logic are presented in this paper. The first consists of six axiom schemata and one rule of inference; this axiomatization is proved equivalent to Lewis' S3. The addition of a seventh schema, the analogue of C10. 1, yields an axiomatization equivalent to S4. Our axiom schemata for S3 are proved mutually independent, as are our schemata for S4.
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.
