Abstract

We classify the computational complexity of the satisfiability, validity and model-checking problems for propositional independence and inclusion logic and their extensions by the classical negation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It is easy to show that all of the logics considered in this article have the so-called locality property, i.e., satisfaction of a formula depends only on the values of the proposition symbols that occur in the formula [5].
