Inquisitive Neighborhood Logic
1Università di Padova, Padua, Italy.
Abstract:
We explore an inquisitive modal logic designed to reason about neighborhood models. This logic is based on an inquisitive strict conditional operator , which quantifies over neighborhoods, and which can be applied to both statements and questions. In terms of this operator we also define two unary modalities and , which act respectively as a universal and existential quantifier over neighborhoods. We prove that the expressive power of this logic matches the natural notion of bisimilarity in neighborhood models. We show that certain fragments of the language are invariant under certain modifications of the set of neighborhoods, and use this to show that is not definable from and , and that questions embedded under are indispensable. We provide a sound and complete axiomatization of our logic, both in general and in restriction to some salient frame classes, establish decidability via the finite model property, and discuss the relations between our logic and other modal logics interpreted over neighborhood models.

Consider a mobile phone battery bank as a source of steady current, which flows through the wire connected between the two. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field created by this current at a field point P?
To estimate the magnitude of the total magnetic field, we first consider a small current element of length dl, at a distance r from the field point. Now the following...
