Logic and Complexity

  • Course Details

    Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Arne Meier

    Frequency: Every two years (even years) in the summer semester

    Course type: Lecture and exercise (2V + 1Ü + 2S, 7 ECTS)

    Examination: Oral exam

  • Course Contents

    This module provides in-depth knowledge of complexity issues in logical calculi. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to assess logical calculi regarding complexity questions. They can analyze logical characterizations of complexity classes and develop classifications related to the lattice of Boolean functions.

    Outline:

    • Modal Logic
    • Frames
    • Properties of Frames
    • Ladner’s Algorithm
    • Post’s Lattice
    • Classification of the Modal Satisfiability Problem
    • Temporal Logic
    • Satisfiability and Model Checking
    • Description Logics
    • Hybrid Logics
    • Constraint Satisfaction Problems
    • Schaefers Framework
  • Information about exam

    The final examination of the module is an oral exam.
