The Lindstrøm’s Characterizability of Abstract Logic Systems
for Analytic Structures Based on Measures
Krystian JOBCZYK and Mirna DŽAMONJA
Abstract
In 1969, Per Lindstrøm proved his celebrated theorem characterising the first-order logic and established criteria for the first-order definability of formal theories for discrete structures. K. J. Barwise, S. Shelah, J. Väänänen and others extended Lindstrøm’s characterizability program to classes of infinitary logic systems, including a recent paper by M. Džamonja and J. Väänänen on Karp’s chain logic, which satisfies interpolation, undefinability of well-order, and is maximal in the class of logic systems with these properties. The novelty of the chain logic is in its new definition of satisfability. In our paper, we give a framework for Lindstrøm’s type characterizability of predicate logic systems interpreted semantically in models with objects based on measures (analytic structures). In particular, Hájek’s Logic of Integral is redefined as an abstract logic with a new type of Hájek’s satisfiability and constitutes a maximal logic in the class of logic systems for describing analytic structures with Lebesgue integrals and satisfying compactness, elementary chain condition, and weak negation.

1 Introduction
In Lindstrom (1969), Per Lindstrøm elaborated criteria of the first-order characterizability of formal theories according to his previous research from Lindstrom (1966) on the so-called Lindsrøm’s quantifiers. Due to this theorem- a logical system shares the same expressive power with the first-order (elementary) logic when both the compactness theorem and downward Skolem-Loewenheim Theorem hold for it. The purely semantic proof of Lindstrøm’s theorem initiated research on the so-called abstract model theory - axiomatically initially depicted in Barwise (1977) and broadly described in Barwise (1985) and in many other papers and monographs, such as Ebbinghaus (1985).
In essence, Lindstrøm’s results from the 60s strongly influenced two parallel research paths in the conceptual framework of abstract model theory. The first path – renewed in the spirit of results from Lindstrom (1966) – refers to infinitary logic – very recently discussed in Dzamonja (2021) in some reference to Shelah’s infinitary logic from Shelah (2012) – and generalized quantifiers initially introduced in Mostowski (1957) and broadly discussed, for instance, in Barwise (1981). The second research path refers to the original Lindstrøm’s theorem itself from Lindstrom (1969) and includes all the theorem’s reconstruction attempts.
Lindstrøm’s theorem has been extrapolated for various logical systems, for instance, for modal logic systems as in Benthem (2007); De Rijke (1995). Simultaneously, a significant part of the proof machinery has been incorporated into the model theoretical structure of functional analysis - due to ideas from Henson (1975, 1986). In the same spirit, the Lindstrøm’s type characterization of analytic structures with a new approximation satisfaction relation was elaborated in Iovino (2001); Caicedo (2014).
1.1 The Paper Motivation and its Objectives
Although the model-theoretic treatment of (even sophisticated) analytic structures, such as Banach spaces, seems to be well-grounded since the earlier works from the ’70s, such as: Henson (1975, 1986); Shelah (1978), Lindstrom’s-type characterization itself of the analytic structures has been elaborated for a small number of types of the structures, such as continuous metric spaces Ben Yacov (2008); Caicedo (2014). More precisely, the maximality logic and Lindstrøm theorem were established here for the so-called Pavelka-Lukasiewicz logic - due to Hajek (1998). Unfortunately, no attempt at the first-order characterizability of analytic structures based on measures has yet been proposed. In particular, we have no information about the appropriate maximal logic suitable to describe analytic structures with integrals based on Lebesgue or - more generally - Radon’s measure. Fortunately, a convenient formal bridgehead for such a construction has already been proposed in Hajek (1998) in the form of the so-called Rational Pavelka Predicate Logic with Integrals – for simplicity – to be called Hájek Integral Logic in the paper.
Due to this lack and shortcoming – this paper is aimed at:
proposing a new abstract logic concept-based depiction of Hájek Integral Logic (HLI),
formulating and proving the Lindsrøm’s type theorem for the appropriate ’minimal’ logic associated with the abstract logic – previously defined for HLI.
This paper forms an extended, and modified version of the conference paper Jobczyk (2021).
2 The terminological framework of the paper analysis
Before we move to the proper part of the paper, we put forward a general conceptual framework for further analysis. At first - the formal definition of the abstract logic of a given signature and a couple of the close-related concepts will be recalled. Secondly, Hájek Integral Logic – as a unique extension of the so-called Predicate Pavelka-Hájek Logic – will be described both syntactically and semantically.
2.1 Abstract logic and its model-theoretic properties
The formal definition of abstract logic - as a core notion of abstract model theory - was elaborated by P. Lindstrøm in his famous work Lindstrom (1969). The current depiction of this concept incorporates an approach from Iovino (2001).
Definition 1**.**
Alogic is a triple , where is a class of structures of a given type111P. Lindstrom considered classical, i.e. discrete structures in Lindstrom (1966). In Caicedo (2014), continuous metric structures were considered. closed under isomorphism, renaming and reducts, is a function which assigns to each vocabulary a set , i.e. a set of -sentences of and is a satisfaction relation such that the following condition hold:
, then (monotonicity of -operator), 2. 2.
If (a formula and M remain in -relation), then there is a vocabulary such that M is an S-structure in and is an S-sentence. 3. 3.
(Isomorphism property) If are isomorphic structures in and is an S-sentence, then . 4. 4.
(Reduct property) If , where both and are vocabularies, and is an -structure in , then
[TABLE] 5. 5.
(Renaming property) If is a renaming between vocabularies and , then for each -sentence there exists -sentence such that
[TABLE]
for each S-structure in the structure class 222As usual, denotes -structure obtained from -structure by its converting through ..
As usual, if , we say that is satisfied in and is said to be a model for .
Definition 2**.**
An abstract logic is said to be closed under conjunction if for all -sentences there is an -sentence such that
[TABLE]
Definition 3**.**
An abstract logic is said to be closed under negation if for all -sentences :
[TABLE]
for all M-structures in .
The general definition of abstract logic allows us to define a (formal) theory of .
Definition 4**.**
Let be an abstract logic and let be a vocabulary. An -theory (or simply: a theory) is a set of all -sentences of .
Definition 5**.**
Let be an S-theory of . If also be an S-structure in such that , for each , then is a model for , what we denote by .
Theorem 1**.**
If is consistent, then it has a model.
2.2 From Łukasiewicz Logic to Hájek Integral Logic
The conceptual tissue of abstract logic in its model-theoretic depiction was adopted in Caicedo (2014) to describe the Pavelka-Hájek Logic (in both the propositional and the predicate variant) on a base of Łukasiewicz Logic. In the second part of this chapter, Hájek Logic of Integrals – as an extension of the predicate Pavelka-Hájek logic – is presented due to Hajek (1998). Whereas Pavelka-Hájek Logic in its two variants will be already described in terms of a conceptual tissue – based on the abstract logic concept – due to Iovino (2001), Hájek Logic of Integrals alone will be still presented classically – due to Hajek (1998). The appropriate abstract logic concept-based apparatus for it will be elaborated in Sections 3 and 4.
2.2.1 Pavelka Rational Logic
Predicate Pavelka Rational Logic (PrePRL) constitutes a conservative extension of (predicate) Infinitely Valued Łukasiewicz Logic – due to Sheperdson (2000) — and extends this system by associating truth constants for rational in [0,1].
A similar relation holds between the propositional Infinitely Valued Łukasiewicz Logic and Pavelka Rational Logic (PRL) as a propositional logic system, which forms the main subject of this paragraph. This similarity manifests itself in the way of defining PRL as an abstract logic. In fact, the appropriate class of structures for PRL is built up from the class of continuous metric structures being the appropriate class of structures for Łukasiewicz Logic – due to Caicedo (2014). In addition, predicates of a PRL language take values from the closed interval .
Because of the fuzzy nature of PRL – the usual -relation for an assignment relation will be exchanged for an -assignment, which forms a counterpart of the so-called truth degree defined in Hajek (1998) and plays a role of a ’fuzzy satisfaction relation’. PRL as an abstract logic is introduced in two steps. At first, its ’surrogate’ in the form of a Weak Pavelka Rational Logic (WPRL) is put forward as a basis for the proper construction of PRL.
Definition 6**.**
A Weak Pavelka Rational Logic (WPRL)333The name has not been used yet in the literature, although the current definition is introduced as defining [0,1]-valued logic in def. 1.10. See: Caicedo (2014), pp.1175-76. is a triple
, where forms a class of metric continuous structures closed under isomorphism, renaming and reducts, is a function which assigns to each vocabulary a set , i.e. a set of -sentences of such that the following condition hold:
, then , 2. 2.
A relation assigns to each pair , where is S-sentence and is S-structure in , a real number . 3. 3.
(Isomorphism property for WPRL) If and they are metrically isomorphic and is an S-sentence of , then . 4. 4.
(Reduct property for WPRL) If , where both and are vocabularies, and is an -structure in and is an S-sentence, then ( denotes a reduct to ). 5. 5.
(Renaming property for WPRL) If is a renaming between vocabularies and , then for each -sentence there exists -sentence such that for each S-structure in the structure class 444As usual, denotes -structure obtained from -structure by its converting through ..
Definition 7**.**
If M is S-structure from , and , , then we say that M satisfies and write .
Instead of , we will sometimes write to express the same assignment, in particular - in the context when the true value of PRL-formulae is considered555It is not easy to see that this definition of abstract Pavelka Rational Logic is structurally similar to the Kripke frame-based depiction of semantics for many fuzzy logic systems, such as S5[0,1]- due to Hajek (1998). In fact, their semantics is usually given by the triples: , where is a non-empty set of states, is an accessibility relation and is an evaluation function, for a given language of a given fuzzy logic system..
For a complementary definition of PRL on a base of WPRL, one needs to close the abstract logic under some connectives. The key connective for each [0,1]-valued logic – based on Łukasiewicz logic – is the so-called Łukasiewicz implication. It forms a function from into defined by the clause:
[TABLE]
It is noteworthy to state that if and only of .
Definition 8**.**
We say a [0,1]-valued logic is closed under the basic connectives if and only if the following condition holds, for each vocabulary :
If , then there exists a sentence such that if and only if , for every -structure . 2. 2.
For each element , the set contains a sentence with constant truth value to be called the constants of and denoted by , i.e. .
Having defined closeness under basic connectives we are in a position to define Pavelka Rational Logic as an abstract logic as follows.
Definition 9**.**
A Pavelka Rational Logic(PRL) is a triple defined as in Def. 6 and closed under basic connectives.
From the perspective of [0,1]-evaluation of formulae, the following observation seems to be noteworthy.
Remark 1**.**
Let M be an S-structure for abstract logic . Then for any hold:
* (alternatively: ).* 2. 2.
* (alternatively: ).*
Note that for every -structure it holds666These properties correspond to the axiom-based depiction of PRL - due to Hajek (1998):
:
[TABLE]
It is noteworthy to underline that the truth value of each is determined either by the set
[TABLE]
or by the set
[TABLE]
It relies on the observation that truth value of the formula (by fuzzy evaluation) is not too false, i.e. its truth value is at least equal to (if ). Similarly, if , then the truth value of is not too true, i.e. its truth value is at most equal to .
2.2.2 Predicate Pavelka Rational Logic (PrePRL)
Predicate Pavelka Rational Logic (PrePRL) forms a predicate enhancement of Pavelka Rational Logic, obtained from PRL if exchanged its propositional language is the predicate one. In this paragraph, we intend to provide an abstract logic-based depiction of PrePRL constructing the appropriate class of structures and a new set of sentences – due to the taxonomy of terms and formulae in each predicate language. The construction itself will be proceeded by explaining the direction of the construction and the nature of the constructed structures.
I. A couple of explanatory remarks. Before we move to details of the construction, some explanatory remarks concerning the direction of this construction and the nature of the structures themselves should be previously made.
While a majority of two-valued predicate logics include the predicate "=" among their formulae – interpreted semantically by identity relation, a multi-valued predicate logic system should include a sign "" intentionally interpreted in semantics by similarity relation as fuzzy identity. PrePRL forms an example of such a system. 2. 2.
Meanwhile, we generally have two possibilities to formally grasp the ’=’-relation symbol in a predicate language. The first way relies on listing its formal properties: reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity – as this way stems from the observation that it forms just an equivalence relation. The alternative, stronger way relies on defining the appropriate congruences888Note that each congruence is a unique equivalence relation. It justifies why this method may be described as the stronger one. for formulae of the predicate language.
More precisely, for variable symbols and , the ’=’-relation symbol is described by the following conjunction of congruences for each -ary operation symbol :
[TABLE]
and for -ary predicate :
[TABLE]
The same concept of congruence – as a fuzzy counterpart of identity – may be adopted to grasp -relation symbol – semantically interpreted by similarity relation as follows:
[TABLE]
and for -ary predicate :
[TABLE]
II. PrePRL as an abstract logic. In order to provide an abstract logic concept-based depiction of PrePRL, let us repeat that PRL is semantically represented by continuous metric spaces with the 1-Lipschitz condition (see: Caicedo (2014), pp.1173, 1179.)999The authors of the paper say about Łukasiewicz-Pavelka Logic..
Definition 10**.**
The 1-Lipschitz condition. Let be a class of continuous metric structures, and let be such an -structure. For all -ary predicates , all -ary function symbols , ,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Meanwhile, the similarity relation corresponds to the distance such that , i.e. both relations are their mutual negations101010It is explainable in the light of the observation that a large distance between two elements and means a small similarity between them and conversely.. It infers a unique similarity-based Lipschitz condition in the following form.
Definition 11**.**
The Similarity-based Lipschitz Condition111111In fact, we could name this property as an anti-contraction. Let be a function symbol, S - be a class of structures with similarity relation , be an S-structure and and . Then it holds:
[TABLE]
As a result, the adequate -class for PrePRL is a class of continuous, similarity-based Lipschitz structures.
Having already established the class of the adequate structures for PrePRL, we are in a position to introduce a set of PrePRL-sentences – defined similarly like a set of formulae of a predicate language. More precisely, we will identify with a set of formulae of , which is built up from terms of , as usual.
Definition 12**.**
(Terms of . Let us assume that a class of structure (of a type) is given and let I be a non-empty set of indices. The set of -terms of is defined inductively as follows:

where is a finite set of variables and is a set of constants,

(Formulae of ). Let us assume that a class of structures (of a type ) with an - model is given, let be a (non-empty) set of indices and let be th -ary predicate and forms a constant symbol for a rational . The set is defined inductively as follows:
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Having established a class of formulae , we are in a position to define PrePRL as an abstract logic.
Definition 14**.**
(Predicate Pavelka Rational Logic (PrePRL).) Let be a predicate vocabulary. A Predicate Pavelka Rational Logic is a triple , where:
a)
is a class of continuous, similarity-based Lipschitz structures closed under renaming, reducts and isomorphism,
b)
is a class of formulae of (PrePRL) – as defined in Def. 13,
c)
a relation assigned to each pair , where is -sentence and is -structure in , a real number ,
which is closed on basic connectives and existential (general) quantifiers.
3 Hajek Logic of Integrals
In this section, HLI is introduced both syntactically and semantically – due to its axiomatic depiction from Hajek (1998) – as an extension of Predicate Pavelka Rational Logic (see:Hajek (1998); Caicedo (2014)). This depiction will constitute a convenient bridgehead to reformulate this system as an abstract logic.
I. Syntax of HLI. is defined both syntactically and semantically in Hajek (1998) in a language given by the grammar:
[TABLE]
In other words, extends a significant part of PrePRL-language (without -symbol exchanged for ’=’)141414A sense of this modification follows from another approach to the representation of fuzziness, which constitutes a founding conceptual idea of HLI. Fuzziness is rendered less explicit and manifests itself, for example, by truth values of formulae of this system. by a new quantifier (read ’probably’) and extends the definition of PrePRL-formulae151515In fact, defining PrePRL in the previous chapter, and we said about Łukasiewicz implication , which is definable either in terms of and strong disjunction or - in terms of and strong conjunction . by the clause informing that if is a formula and is a variable, then . is syntactically determined in by:

It may be seen in the perspective of semantic interpretations of logical connectives by the appropriate and norms..* 2. 2.
* is a legal -formula, but does not. This formula is prohibited as ’=’ may be used only for quantifiers.*
II. Semantics -Hajek (1998), p. 238-240. The semantics of HLI - described in Hajek (1998), pp. 238-240 – was elaborated in terms of the so-called probabilistic models of a general form:
[TABLE]
where is a countable or finite set (the model universe), , for , , interpret predicates and function symbols (resp.) as usual (over the real unit ) and interpret constant symbols in the same way over the real unit and is a probability measure on 171717That is is a function assigning to a real such that . For an arbitrary subset More generally, if then .
In fact, the proper model suitable to interpret HLI must form a refinement of the weak probabilistic model given by (18). Instead of , one needs to consider the semantic counterpart of the integral formula. Let us repeat that the semantic integral181818In further part, we will use simply the name ’integral’ if it does not generate any confusion. is defined as follows.
For each function the (Lebesgue) integral is defined by . More formally, if a measure space is given, where forms an -algebra of subsets of , then each finite, pairwise disjoint family such that is said to be a measurable dissection of . It allows us to define the Lebesque integral of (a given) function .
Definition 16**.**

It is noteworthy that if is two-valued, i.e. , then (it is a measure of the set whose characteristic function is ).
These observations will be exploited now for defining the ’semantic integrals’191919The authors of Hajek (1998) are said to be called the ’weak integrals’ because of being components of the so-called ’weak models’. in the algebraic environment of -algebra of [0,1]-fuzzy subsets of weak probabilistic model. Its precise definition is as follows.

Let M be a weak probabilistic model with a universe . -algebra of (weak probabilistic) model M is a family of [0,1]-fuzzy subsets202020Note that these sets are determined by their characteristic functions, so we can think about them as about their functions, what justifies this defining method. of containing each constant rational function with the value and closed under (if and , for all then .)212121One can infer from this that is closed under .(see: Hajek (1998), p.240.) It corresponds well with the closeness of the set of HLI formulae under their corresponding connectives.

In order to build a correspondence between HLI-axioms and axioms - for semantic integrals, we need to complement the standard truth value function for expressions with fuzzy connectives by the new clause for the integral-type formulae:
[TABLE]
provided that . (otherwise – undefined).
4 Towards Hájek Logic of Integrals as an Abstract Logic
In order to describe HLI as an abstract logic – due to Lindstrom (1966); Caicedo (2014) – for the use of its Lindstrøm’s characterization, one needs to introduce a satisfaction relation for -formulae in weak probabilistic models. In this chapter, a new satisfaction relation to be called Hájek’s satisfiability (symbolically: ) for is introduced222222The analysis of the chapter are inspired by Iovino’s ideas from Iovino (2001). However, Iovino’s ideas refer to the standard definition of satisfaction relation and are not immersed in the analytic conceptual scenario as the current considerations..
In a standard way, a fuzzy logic formula is satisfied in a given model , in its state if and only if 1 (true value) is associated with in by an evaluation function . Formally,
[TABLE]
We preserve this standard and restrictive convention for all -expressions except for quantifier-based expressions with ’=,’ when we will relax our expectations concerning satisfaction conditions in weak probabilistic models because of the nature of the integral quantifier expressions. It finds its reflection in Hájek’s satisfiability for a majority of -formulae given by the clauses, which develop (10).
We proceed to introduce its definition by short reasoning because of connective. Since because of , we can infer that it must hold: and 232323It follows from the fact that both . This result may be alternatively inferred from the fact that stands for , thus , i.e. .. It leads to the following definition.

242424Obviously, this condition may be reformulated to the condition that . However, such a formulation hides the provenance of the condition. It is noteworthy that the satisfaction relation itself is not sensitive to a semantic difference between fuzzy connectives. 4. 4.

252525This situation should not be identified with a fact when a given Lebesgue integral is computed in some limits, and it takes a value 1. This value plays here a role of the highest truth value for its corresponding ’integral expression in the sense of this concept given by Hajek (1998), pp. 238-241..
Example**.**
Let us assume that and in some w. p. model. Obviously, , but neither nor because violates Hájek’s satisfaction in these cases due to 3) and 4). 2. 2.
Let us consider a model with with , such that , and . Than (as , but (as .
It remains to complement the definition of Hájek’s satisfiability for ’=’ with quantifiers, in particular – with the integral quantifiers.
4.1 Hájek’s satisfiability
For the use of Hájek’s satisfiability of ’=’ with quantifiers, we intend to refer to the concept of measure because of a measure-based nature o Lebesgue integrals. Informally speaking, we want to accept -expressions of the type as Hájek’s satisfiable in w.p. models if the -measures of the appropriate -truth value sets for the left-side and the right-side integral expressions are almost identical. The definition of Hájek’s satisfiability will be inductive – due to the increasing complication degree of the measure. Initially, we begin with a Dirac’s measure case to generalize the situation later.
I. Hájek’s satisfiability for ’=’ in -Dirac’s case.
For the use of Hájek’s satisfiability, we will refer to the slightly modified definition of Lebesgue integral262626In fact, it forms an approximation of the proper definition of integral given by Def. 16. (see: Hewitt (1969), p. 164).:
[TABLE]
If range(), then we obtain
[TABLE]
Our intention is to accept that the statement of the form is Hájek’s satisfiable (in a -Dirac’s case) in a given weak probabilistic272727This type of models plays a role of the intended models in the whole reasoning – even if it is not clearly mentioned. model by a valuation if the measure of a difference set is arbitrarily small and 282828In order to elucidate a correlation of the integral symbol with a measure, on terms of which it is defined, we take the liberty to return to use this integral symbol instead of .. In fact, these two sets corresponding to their integrable functions and can possibly differ in a very restricted, ’ommittable’ number of elements. By the last assumption, the following should hold:
[TABLE]
Since and , for some and corresponding to and (resp.), we can reformulate lines (24)-(25) to the following ones:
[TABLE]
where is an interpretation of in a given model .
II. Hájek’s satisfiability for ’=’ in non-Dirac’s case. In this subsection, Hájek’s satisfiability for ’=’ in a more general, non-Dirac’s sense will be introduced. In other words, we will refer to -formulae with their truth values such that may belong to a broad class of subsets of , not only – as previously – being a singleton. Namely, we will take into account the sets of the form and their measures 292929Let us note that it opens a realistic possibility to consider not only their set-theoretic complements in the form of the sets of the type but also – denumerable sums of the pairwise disjoint sets of this type..
For simplicity of further considerations, we will adopt the following modified version of Definition 4 of Lebesgue integral for (normalized) simple function – based on the sets of the above type:
[TABLE]
where is a normalized coefficient defining as a simple function and is a measurable set, 303030We do not specify how depends on . One of the reasonable way may be to define . However, it does not concern us in this context..
As previously, we are willing to require an arbitrarily small (smaller than arbitrary positive ) sum of measures of the difference set , for some functions , 313131These functions are associated by -function to and respectively. and fixed , for 323232 forms at the most denumerable set of indices., and a (weak probabilistic) model . Finally, we also expect that the second set determined by is contained in the first set determined by . It leads to the following definition of Hájek’s satisfiability of the integral symbols for non-Dirac’s case.
Definition 21**.**
(Hájek’s satisfiability for integral -expressions with ’=’.) Let us assume that be a weak probabilistic model with a model universe , , for each , where I is (at most) denumerable set of indices. Let also establish two and such that and let be non-simple Lebesgue integrable functions corresponding to the sets. We say that an -formula "" is Hájek’s satisfiable in , symb.

5 The Lindstrøm-type Theorem for Extensions of HLI and an Extended Outline of its Proof
Having defined as an abstract logic in the model-theoretic treatment, we can venture to formulate and prove the Lindstrøm’s-type theorem for all extensions of . We begin with introducing a terminological tissue of the proof argumentation leading to the main result. They cannot be presented in Section II as they are involved in a conceptual tissue elaborated in Section III.
5.1 A terminological tissue of Lindstrøm’s theorem and its proof.
In order to perform the task, we need to consider both (as an abstract logic) and its extensions as equipped by unique binary relations to be called a Hájek approximation system and denoted by . For each pair of formulae, say and 343434We are especially interested in the pairs of the formulae as in the previous definitions of Hájek satisfiability. of a given abstract logic language – this unique relation will intentionally encode some of the metalogical properties of the formulae.
Some of the properties, such as Definition 23 of an abstract logic language or Hájek’s satisfiability in their corresponding -structures in the sense of Definition 21 and Definition 22 have been presupposed or implicitly assumed. It was previously made in some informal way. In this section, they will be explicitly indicated and formally expressed in terms of the following definition of -approximation system.
Definition 24**.**
(Hájek’s -approximation system). Let be an abstract logic. The binary relation is said to be Hájek’s -approximation system if and only if the following conditions hold:
is transitive, 2. 2.
If and , then . 3. 3.
If and , then .
The following definition explains how to relate Hájek’s satisfiability to the Hájek’s -approximation, just introduced. These two notions meet together in the concept of approximate Hájek’s satisfiability.
Definition 25**.**
We say that approximately Hájek’s satisfies a formula , symb. , if for all -approximations of , it holds .
Remark 2**.**
Let us note that is weaker than , which is weaker than -satisfaction.
Because of the new conceptual scenario determined by Hájek’s approximation satisfiability, we should redefine both Compactness Property and the Elementary Chain Condition for abstract logic with Hájek’s approximation. We will say a theory (as a set of sentences) of is consistent if there exists a structure of which approximately satisfies every sentence in . In a similar way, we will say that is finitely consistent if every finite subset of is consistent.
Let be a logic with Hájek’s approximations. For a structure with semantic integrals , let denote the theory (set of sentences) of which are Hájek’s approximately satisfied by .
Definition 26**.**
(Hájek’s Elementary substructure.) Let be structures of 353535In all these contexts, we consider by default as the pair .. The structure is said to be Hájek’s elementary substructure of and will be denoted by
[TABLE]
if and only if and the structure Hájek’s approximately satisfies 363636This defining is justified by the fact that the class of structures of a logic is assumed to be closed under expansions by constants. Recall that is a relation of being elementary substructure (in terms of satisfiability)..
Property 1**.**

Property 2**.**

[TABLE]
there exists such a structure of – uniquely determined by – that , for each .
Property 3**.**

If , then ; 2. 2.

Example**.**
Weak negation forms a standard negation for each logic systems – considered as a logic with approximation , where is a diagonal relation on sentences (i.e. each sentence is the only approximation of itself).
Definition 27**.**
(Reducibility of an abstract logic to .373737The similar definition of reducibility may be introduced for any pair of abstract logics. Note that we do not require Hájek’s satisfiability in .) Let be a logic with -approximation, and and have the same structures. We say that a sentence is reducible to if the following condition holds. For every -approximation of there exist two sentences , of , such that

5.2 The Proof of Lindstrøm’s type Theorem for HLI – the Proof Idea and its Extended Outline
I. The proof idea. The proof of Lindstrøm’s Theorem relies on showing that each abstract logic as an extension of is equivalent to the abstract logic (i.e., they have the same expressive power) if it satisfies both compactness theorem, the so-called elementary chain condition, and it is closed on negation. The proof itself is carried our by reductio ad absurdum by showing that violating one of the conditions383838It is assumed that is not reducible to in our proof. generates a contradiction.
The argumentation line of the proof is based on two important but rather technical lemmas. Lemma 2 allows us to specify the initial situation for the construction of the required contradiction. More precisely, it ensures the existence of the following two -structures, and such that there exists , which is satisfied (in Hájek’s sense) in one of them but does not in the second one (more precisely: a weak negation of its approximation is satisfied here). This scenario will be disconfirmed by means of Lemma 2. This lemma – together with the elementary chain condition – warranties not only a linearly ordered sequence of structures , but also a structure as the final element of that sequence and such that we get and , for the same and its -approximation as previously. The proof of Lemma 1 exploits Observation 1, which establishes some equivalence between Hájek’s approximate satisfiability of a given theory and Hájek’s approximate satisfiability of a corresponding theory – built up in a unique way from sentences of dependent on elements of .
II. An extended outline of the proof. It is convenient to present the proof line of Lindstrøm’s Theorem beginning with formulating Observation 1. For that reason, for a theory , let
[TABLE]
Observation 1**.**
Let be a theory in and defined as previously. Than it holds the following:
[TABLE]
Proof.
We show this property for the implication in one side. Let , for some . It exactly means that
[TABLE]
Therefore, let be such that . Thus, we can infer that from definition of Hájek’s -approximation. Since , for some sentence dependent on such that , we can deduce that . Let now be such a sentence that . Since , then also , for as in definition of .
In order to show that also , one needs to show that for any sentence , it holds
[TABLE]
Meanwhile, this condition is satisfied from the definition of -approximation. Thus, . ∎
Remark 3**.**
An alternative proof of Observation 1 might be carried out inductively – due to the taxonomy of formulae and conditions of Hájek’s satisfaction for them. For that reason, should be established among sentences, in particular – among the sentences of the form , where is a quantifier sign admissible in 393939This proof would be less general and more extended and less beneficial from the perspective of further analysis, so we omit its details..
Lemma 1**.**
Let and be structures with integrals such that . Then there exists a structure with integrals such that
, and .
Proof.
In order to justify an existence of such a structure, it is convenient to think about it as a ’cumulative’ structure, as consisting of two sets of elements from and . From a syntactic point of view, it is enough to show that the theory is consistent. Due to the Lemma 1 – it enough to show that the theory is consistent. Since has compactness property, it is enough to show that each finite subset of this theory is consistent in order to show that the whole theory is consistent.
For that reason, let us fix a finite set (of sentences) of as the set
[TABLE]
for such that , for . We will find the finite structure extension on a base of and , in which the set is satisfied (in the sense of -satisfaction). It will exactly mean that this set in consistent.
Therefore, let and be (an exhaustive) list of names of elements from and (resp.) occurred in ’s. Let us observe that
[TABLE]
Since is Hájek’s -approximation of , for each we can enlarge by such new elements to obtain
[TABLE]
Since the paraphrazed Condition 2 of Property 3 (of weak negation). asserts that , for all such that , we can deduce from (32) the following:
[TABLE]
for . It means that
[TABLE]
i.e. is consistent. Since was chosen arbitrarily, we can state that each finite subset of is consistent. Because of the compactness property for , we can assert that the whole theory is consistent as required. ∎
Lemma 2**.**
Let be an abstract logic with Hájek’s approximation. Suppose that is a sentence of that is not reducible to . Then there exist an -approximation of and analytic structures and such that
* ( is Hájek’s elementary substructure),* 2. 2.
, but .
Proof.
Because of the previous lemma – it is enough to show that
[TABLE]
is consistent, or that there exists a structure, say , of which approximately satisfies every sentence in (a theory) of . In particular, it will be . Indeed, each finite subset of is Hájek’s approximately satisfied by a finite extension of . Thus – because of compactness property for – the whole is Hájek’s approximately satisfied in a structure, which is as required in point 3). ∎
Theorem 2**.**
(Lindstrøm’s Theorem for extensions of HLI.) Let and be such that:
* extends ,* 2. 2.
* has compactness property, elementary chain condition and it is closed on weak negation.*
Then .
Proof.
Let us assume that has compactness property, the elementary chain condition, is closed on a weak negation. Finally, let ) extend , but not conversely, i.e., there is such a formula in a language of that is not reducible to . This last condition together with Lemma 2 allows us to state that there exist such -structures and that and there exists such a -approximation of that:
[TABLE]
Simultaneously, from the elementary chain condition and Lemma 1 used iteratively – we can infer that there exists for each sequence of -structures:
[TABLE]
such a -structure that
[TABLE]
In particular, taking now and we obtain: and . It generates a contradiction with point 2. of the weak negation property. Hence, . ∎
6 Conclusions and closing remarks
It has been shown how Hájek’s Fuzzy Logic of Integrals – described classically in Hajek (1998) – may be characterized in Lindstrøm-style. Indeed, Hájek’s system was considered as a minimal logic in a broader class of fuzzy logic systems suitable for describing continuous structures based on measures. Simultaneously, Hájek’s logic constitutes the first formal system suitable to describe integrals and their properties which has its abstract logic-based depiction. Nevertheless, it required introducing a two-level satisfaction relation (Hájek’s satisfiability and Hájek’s approximate satisfiability), which increases the complexity of the considerations and potentially decreases the clarity of reasoning. Simultaneously, Lindstrøm’s-type characterizability for all continuous structures – discussed in this context until today – is executed through the compactness theorem and the elementary chain condition instead of the compactness theorem and Skolem-Loewenheim’s theorem.
An idea of Lindstrøm’s-type characterizability might also be extrapolated for other structures and entities of functional and real analysis, such as Banach L2-spaces. Simultaneously, Lebesgue integrals might be exchanged by transforms or splots. Unfortunately, a problem arises of a need for the appropriate formal logic systems to describe them and their typical properties. The system proposed in Jobczyk (2014) constitutes rather a surrogate of the formal system, and it would require some further complements.
