Abstract

The paper studies temporal logic implementing multi-agent’s approach and formalizing knowledge and uncertainty. We consider non-transitive linear time and multi-valued models—the ones using separate valuations \(V_j\) for the agent’s knowledge of facts and summarized (agreed) valuation together with rules for computation truth values for compound formulas. The basic mathematical problems we study here are decidability and decidability w.r.t. admissible rules. First, we study the general case—the logic with non-uniform intransitivity—and solve its decidability problem. Also, we consider a modification of this logic—temporal logic with uniform non-transitivity—and solve the problem of recognizing admissibility in this logic. The conclusion contains a discussion and a list of open problems.
