Abstract

In modal logic systems S4 and S5, some semantics equivalent theorems on various classes of models are proved. Main results are: (1) A formula is S4 (S5)-theorem if and only if it is globally true in any finite models of S4 (S5); (2) A formula is S4-theorem if and only if it is globally true in all finite topological models; (3) As a corollary of (2), Question 9.1.66 in [4] is affirmatively answered; (4) A formula is S5-theorem if and only if it is globally true in the class FCOT of finite topological models with open sets being closed.
