The influence of connectivity axiom on complexity of modal logic

We prove that for weakly transitive modal logics equipped with the universal modality whose satisfiability problem is already decidable in PSPACE, adding the connectivity axiom does not increase the complexity. Moreover, we present an algorithm that solves the satisfiability task within the same complexity class.

Abstract

We prove that for weakly transitive modal logics equipped with the universal modality whose satisfiability problem is already decidable in PSPACE, adding the connectivity axiom does not increase the complexity. Moreover, we present an algorithm that solves the satisfiability task within the same complexity class.
