Abstract The only way to make a language more powerful, but also make its programs simpler, is by abstraction: adding well-chosen abstractions that let programmers replace manual code patterns with saying directly what they mean. There are two major categories: Elevate coding patterns/idioms into new abstractions built into the language. For example, in current C++, range-for lets programmers directly declare “for each” loops with compiler support and enforcement. -

12 Propositional Logic
CHAPTER 12 ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ Propositional Logic In this chapter, we introduce propositional logic, an algebra whose original purpose, dating back to Aristotle, was to model reasoning. In more recent times, this algebra, like many algebras, has proved useful as a design tool. For example, Chapter 13 shows how propositional logic can be used in computer circuit design. A third use of logic is as a data model for programming languages and systems, such as the language Prolog. Many systems for reasoning by computer, including theorem provers, program verifiers, and applications in the field of artificial intelligence, have been implemented in logic-based programming languages. These languages generally use “predicate logic,” a more powerful form of logic that extends the capabilities of propositional logic. We shall meet predicate logic in Chapter 14. ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ 12.1 What This Chapter Is About Section 12.2 gives an intuitive explanation of what propositional logic is, and why it is useful. The next section, 12,3, introduces an algebra for logical expressions with Boolean-valued operands and with logical operators such as AND, OR, and NOT that Boolean algebra operate on Boolean (true/false) values. This algebra is often called Boolean algebra after George Boole, the logician who first framed logic as an algebra. We then learn the following ideas. ✦ Truth tables are a useful way to represent the meaning of an expression in logic (Section 12.4). ✦ We can convert a truth table to a logical expression for the same logical function (Section 12.5). ✦ The Karnaugh map is a useful tabular technique for simplifying logical expres- sions (Section 12.6). -
The Basics of Exception Handling
The Basics of Exception Handling MIPS uses two coprocessors: C0 and C1 for additional help. C0 primarily helps with exception handling, and C1 helps with floating point arithmetic. Each coprocessor has a few registers. Interrupts Initiated outside the instruction stream Arrive asynchronously (at no specific time), Example: o I/O device status change o I/O device error condition Traps Occur due to something in instruction stream. Examples: o Unaligned address error o Arithmetic overflow o System call MIPS coprocessor C0 has a cause register (Register 13) that contains a 4-bit code to identify the cause of an exception Cause register pending exception code interrupt Bits 15-10 Bits 5-2 [Exception Code = 0 means I/O interrupt = 12 means arithmetic overflow etc] MIPS instructions that cause overflow (or some other violation) lead to an exception, which sets the exception code. It then switches to the kernel mode (designated by a bit in the status register of C0, register 12) and transfers control to a predefined address to invoke a routine (exception handler) for handling the exception. Interrupt Enable Status register Interrupt Mask 15-8 1 0 Kernel/User (EPC = Exception Program Counter, Reg 14 of C0) Memory L: add $t0, $t1, $t2 overflow! Return address (L+4) Exception handler routine is saved in EPC Next instruction Overflow ra ! EPC; jr ra Invalid instruction ra ! EPC; jr ra System Call ra ! EPC; jr ra The Exception Handler determines the cause of the exception by looking at the exception code bits. Then it jumps to the appropriate exception handling routine. -
Adding the Everywhere Operator to Propositional Logic
Adding the Everywhere Operator to Propositional Logic David Gries∗ and Fred B. Schneider† Computer Science Department, Cornell University Ithaca, New York 14853 USA September 25, 2002 Abstract Sound and complete modal propositional logic C is presented, in which 2P has the interpretation “ P is true in all states”. The interpretation is already known as the Carnapian extension of S5. A new axiomatization for C provides two insights. First, introducing an inference rule textual substitution allows seamless integration of the propositional and modal parts of the logic, giving a more practical system for writing formal proofs. Second, the two following approaches to axiomatizing a logic are shown to be not equivalent: (i) give axiom schemes that denote an infinite number of axioms and (ii) write a finite number of axioms in terms of propositional variables and introduce a substitution inference rule. 1Introduction Logic gives a syntactic way to derive or certify truths that can be expressed in the language of the logic. The expressiveness of the language impacts the logic’s utility —the more expressive the language, the more useful the logic (at least if the intended use is to prove theorems, as opposed to, say, studying logics). We wish to calculate with logic, much as one calculates in algebra to derive equations, and we find it useful for 2P to be a formula of the logic and have the meaning “ P is true in all states”. When a propositional logic extended with 2 is further extended to predicate logic and then to other theories, the logic can be used for proving theorems that could otherwise be ∗Supported by NSF grant CDA-9214957 and ARPA/ONR grant N00014-91-J-4123. -
On the Logic of Left-Continuous T-Norms and Right-Continuous T-Conorms
On the Logic of Left-Continuous t-Norms and Right-Continuous t-Conorms B Llu´ıs Godo1( ),Mart´ın S´ocola-Ramos2, and Francesc Esteva1 1 Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIC), Campus de la UAB, Bellaterra, 08193 Barcelona, Spain {godo,esteva}@iiia.csic.es 2 Juniv¨agen 13, 27172 K¨opingebro, Sweden [email protected] Abstract. Double residuated lattices are expansions of residuated lat- tices with an extra monoidal operator, playing the role of a strong dis- junction operation, together with its dual residuum. They were intro- duced by Orlowska and Radzikowska. In this paper we consider the subclass of double residuated structures that are expansions of MTL- algebras, that is, prelinear, bounded, commutative and integral residu- ated lattices. MTL-algebras constitute the algebraic semantics for the MTL logic, the system of mathematical fuzzy logic that is complete w.r.t. the class of residuated lattices on the real unit interval [0, 1] induced by left-continuous t-norms. Our aim is to axiomatise the logic whose intended semantics are commutative and integral double residu- ated structures on [0, 1], that are induced by an arbitrary left-continuous t-norm, an arbitrary right-continuous t-conorm, and their corresponding residual operations. Keywords: Mathematical fuzzy logic · Double residuated lattices · MTL · DMCTL · Semilinear logics · Standard completeness 1 Introduction Residuated lattices [7] are a usual choice for general algebras of truth-values in systems of mathematical fuzzy logic [1–3,9], as well as for valuation structures in lattice-valued fuzzy sets (L-fuzzy sets) [8] and in multiple-valued generalisations of information relations [11,13,14].
