Résumé

Now available in paperback ! This is a modern, advanced textbook on modal logic, a field which first caught the attention of computer scientists in the late 1970s. Its worth has since been realized by researchers in areas ranging from economics to computational linguistics. The book is for both novices and for more experienced readers, with two distinct tracks clearly signposted at the start of each chapter.
The development is mathematical-prior acquaintance with first-order logic and its semantics is assumed, and familiarity with the basic mathematical notions of set theory is required. The authors focus on the use of modal languages as tools to analyze the properties of relational structures, including their algorithmic and algebraic aspects, and applications to issues in logic and computer science such as completeness, computability, and complexity are considered.
Three appendices supply basic background information and numerous exercises are provided. The work is ideal for anyone wanting to learn modern modal logic.
