The embedding supports the application of off-the-shelf higher-order theorem provers for reasoning within and about quantified multimodal logics and provides a starting point for further logic embeddings and their combinations in simple type theory.

Abstract

We present an embedding of quantified multimodal logics into simple type theory and prove its soundness and completeness. A correspondence between QKπ models for quantified multimodal logics and Henkin models is established and exploited. Our embedding supports the application of off-the-shelf higher-order theorem provers for reasoning within and about quantified multimodal logics. Moreover, it provides a starting point for further logic embeddings and their combinations in simple type theory.
