R-Calculus, IV: Propositional Logic

This fourth volume of the book series combines propositional logic and R-calculus for a new point of view to consider belief revision. It gives the R-calculi for propositional logic, description logics, propositional modal logic, logic programming, -propositional logic, semantic networks, and three-valued logic, etc.. Applications of R-calculus in logic of supersequents are also given.

This book offers a rich blend of theory and practice. It is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners in the field of logic.

Combines propositional logic and R-calculus for a new point of view to consider belief revision Gives the R-calculi for propositional logic, description logics, propositional modal logic, logic programming etc. Inspires theoretic computer scientists by showing how R-calculus is developed into a series of complicated theories
