Findings
Complexity bounds transferred via translations between logics.
A new terminating tableau system for multi-agent modal logics with fixed points.
Unified framework for analyzing modal logic complexity.
Abstract
This paper studies the complexity of classical modal logics and of their extension with fixed-point operators, using translations to transfer results across logics. In particular, we show several complexity results for multi-agent logics via translations to and from the mu-calculus and modal logic, which allow us to transfer known upper and lower bounds. We also use these translations to introduce a terminating tableau system for the logics we study, based on Kozen's tableau for the mu-calculus, and the one of Fitting and Massacci for modal logic.
