Previous: Modal and arithmetical completeness
We will present a method for establishing modal modal completeness
results which uncouples the completeness result from the finite model
property. This method is first applied to
.
So a new proof of
the modal completeness of
is provided. There is an option built
in in this construction method to also obtain the finite model
property and hence the decidability of a certain logic. By this option
we obtain the decidability of
in chapter 4. This
construction method is then applied in chapter 5 to
obtain the completeness of
.
In this case however, we did not
succeed in proving decidability. In chapter
6 we present a new modal principle and use generalized
Veltman semantics to subject it to a modal study.
