Abstract

Normal update logic is the temporalization of normal conditional logic. Sequent calculi for the least normal update logic \(\mathbf {UCK}\) by Andreas Herzig (1998) and some of its extensions are developed. The subformula property of these sequent calculi is shown by Takano’s semantic method. Consequently we prove the finite model property and decidability of these sequent calculi.
