A Henkin-style completeness proof for the modal logic S5 (1910.01697v2)
Published 3 Oct 2019 in cs.LO
Abstract: This paper presents a recent formalization of a Henkin-style completeness proof for the propositional modal logic S5 using the Lean theorem prover. The proof formalized is close to that of Hughes and Cresswell, but the system, based on a different choice of axioms, is better described as a Mendelson system augmented with axiom schemes for K, T, S4, and B, and the necessitation rule as a rule of inference. The language has the false and implication as the only primitive logical connectives and necessity as the only primitive modal operator. The full source code is available online at https://github.com/bbentzen/mpl/ and has been typechecked with Lean 3.4.2.
