Relational Semantics for Flat Heyting-Lewis Logic

We introduce relational semantics for "flat Heyting-Lewis logic" HLC ♭ .This logic arises as the extension of intuitionistic logic with a Lewis-style strict implication modality that, contrary to its "sharp" counterpart HLC ♯ , does not turn meets into joins in its first argument.We prove completeness and the finite model property for HLC ♭ and for several extensions with additional axioms.

Abstract

We introduce relational semantics for "flat Heyting-Lewis logic" HLC ♭ .This logic arises as the extension of intuitionistic logic with a Lewis-style strict implication modality that, contrary to its "sharp" counterpart HLC ♯ , does not turn meets into joins in its first argument.We prove completeness and the finite model property for HLC ♭ and for several extensions with additional axioms.
