Abstract

The paper studies the logic TL(NBox+-wC) – logic of discrete linear time with current time point clusters. Its language uses modalities Diamond+ (possible in future) and Diamond- (possible in past) and special temporal operations, – Box+w (weakly necessary in future) and Box-w (weakly necessary in past). We proceed by developing an algorithm recognizing theorems of TL(NBox+-wC), so we prove that TL(NBox+-wC) is decidable. The algorithm is based on reduction of formulas to inference rules and converting the rules in special reduced normal form, and, then, on checking validity of such rules in models of singleexponential size in the rules. Also we consider the admissibility problem for TL(NBox+-wC) and show how to reduce the problem for admissibility to the decidability of TL(NBox+-wC) itself using definable universal modalities
