Complete axiomatization and decidability of the logic of two-agent cooperative strategic interaction

The multi-agent Socially Friendly Coalition Logic SFCL was introduced in [1]. The present paper focuses on the two-agent fragment SFCL ( 2 ) of SFCL . We illustrate the use of SFCL ( 2 ) for formalising reasoning about two-agent interaction enabling cooperative strategic behaviour. Then we prove completeness of an axiomatic system for the 2-agent case SFCL ( 2 ) essentially extracted from the one for SFCL presented in [1] . The proof method is fully constructive and produces finite tree-like models for all consistent SFCL ( 2 ) -formulae, thus also implying decidability of that logic. The proof method is, in principle, generically extendable to the full SFCL and to various other logics for local strategic reasoning.

Abstract

The multi-agent Socially Friendly Coalition Logic SFCL was introduced in [1]. The present paper focuses on the two-agent fragment SFCL ( 2 ) of SFCL . We illustrate the use of SFCL ( 2 ) for formalising reasoning about two-agent interaction enabling cooperative strategic behaviour. Then we prove completeness of an axiomatic system for the 2-agent case SFCL ( 2 ) essentially extracted from the one for SFCL presented in [1] . The proof method is fully constructive and produces finite tree-like models for all consistent SFCL ( 2 ) -formulae, thus also implying decidability of that logic. The proof method is, in principle, generically extendable to the full SFCL and to various other logics for local strategic reasoning.
