Beschreibung

Hardcover. This book is a specialized monograph on the development of the mathematical and computational metatheory of reductive logic and proof-search, areas of logic that are becoming important in computer science. A systematic foundational text on these emerging topics, it includes proof-theoretic, semantic/model-theoretic and algorithmic aspects. The scope ranges from the conceptual background to reductive logic, through its mathematical metatheory, to its modernapplications in the computational sciences. Suitable for researchers and graduate students in mathematical, computational and philosophical logic, and in theoretical computer science andartificial intelligence, this is the latest in the prestigous world-renowned Oxford Logic Guides, which contains Michael Dummet's Elements of intuitionism (2nd Edition), Dov M. Gabbay, Mark A. Reynolds, and Marcelo Finger's Temporal Logic Mathematical Foundations and Computational Aspects , J. M. Dunn and G. Hardegree's Algebraic Methods in Philosophical Logic, H. Rott's Change, Choice and Inference: A Study of Belief Revision and Nonmonotonic Reasoning, and P. T. Johnstone's Sketches of an Elephant: A Topos Theory Compendium: Volumes 1 and 2 . This book is a specialized monograph on the development of the mathematical and computational metatheory of reductive logic and proof-search, including proof-theoretic, semantic/model-theoretic and algorithmic aspects. The scope ranges from the conceptual background to reductive logic, through its mathematical metatheory, to its modern applications in the computational sciences.

Críticas:

"Drawing somewhat on the techniques and culture of philosophy, but mostly on those of mathematics and computing, Pyn (U. of Bath) and Ritter (U. of Birmingham) introduce reductive logic and proof-search. They argue that the reductive view of logic is at least as fundamental as the deductive view; identify some of the problems that must be addressed in order to provide a semantics of proof-searches of comparable value to the corresponding semantics of proof; and explain how to solve these problems in intuitionistic logic, which adequately models not only the logical but also the operational aspects of the reductive system.
