Dependence Logic with Generalized Quantifiers: Axiomatizations

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 8071))

Abstract

We prove two completeness results, one for the extension of dependence logic by a monotone generalized quantifier Q with weak interpretation, weak in the sense that the interpretation of Q varies with the structures. The second result considers the extension of dependence logic where Q is interpreted as “there exist uncountably many.” Both of the axiomatizations are shown to be sound and complete for FO(Q) consequences.
