Classical Versions Of Bci, Bck And Bciw Logics, Martin W. Bunder, John K. Slaney

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The question is, is there a formula X, independent of B,C,K1, I and W that creates distinct subclassical logics BCIX,BCKX and BCIWX, while BCKWX is the full classical implicational logic TV?

The Strong Relevance Logics, Martin W. Bunder

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The tautology p - q - p is not a theorem of the various relevance logics (see Anderson and Belnap [1]) because q is not considered to be relevant in the derivation of final p. We can take this lack of relevance to mean simply that p-q-p could have been proved without q and its -, i.e., p-p. By the same criterion we could say that in ((p-p) -q) -q p-p is not relevant. In general we will say that any theorem A of an implicational logic is strongly relevant if there is no subpart B ! which can be …
