The class of geometric surgical theories (which includes all o-minimal theories) is examined. The main theorem is that every stable theory that is interpretable in a geometric sur...
We give a broad discussion of reflection principles in explicit mathematics, thereby addressing various kinds of universe existence principles. The proof-theoretic strength of the...
Systems of explicit mathematics provide an axiomatic framework to represent programs and to prove properties of them. We introduce such a system with a new form of power types usi...
We prove that S4 is complete with respect to Boolean combinations of countable unions of convex subsets of the real line, thus strengthening a 1944 result of McKinsey and Tarski (...
We propose an extension of answer sets, that we call safe beliefs, that can be used to study several properties and notions of answer sets and logic programming from a more genera...
