PARACONSISTENT NEGATION AND CLASSICAL NEGATION IN COMPUTATION TREE LOGIC

Abstract

A paraconsistent computation tree logic, PCTL, is obtained by adding paraconsistent negation to the standard computation tree logic CTL. PCTL can be used to appropriately formalize inconsistency-tolerant temporal reasoning. A theorem for embedding PCTL into CTL is proved. The validity, satisfiability, and model-checking problems of PCTL are shown to be decidable. The embedding and decidability results indicate that we can reuse the existing CTL-based algorithms for validity, satisfiability and model-checking. An illustrative example of medical reasoning involving the use of PCTL is presented.
