Abstract:We describe a set of simple features that are sufficient in order to make the satisfiability problem of logics interpreted on trees TOWER-hard. We exhibit these features through an Auxiliary Logic on Trees (ALT), a modal logic that essentially deals with reachability of a fixed node inside a forest and features modalities from sabotage modal logic to reason on submodels. After showing that ALT admits a TOWER-complete satisfiability problem, we prove that this logic is captured by four other logics that were in… Show more
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.
