 Logic - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia
Mathematical logic refers to two distinct areas of research: The first, primarily of historical interest, is the use of formal logic to study mathematical reasoning, and the second, in the other direction, the application of mathematics to the study of formal logic.
Aristotelian logic is sometimes referred to as formal logic because it specifically deals with forms of reasoning, but is not formal in the sense we use it here or as is common in current usage.
Logics such as fuzzy logic have since been devised with an infinite number of "degrees of truth", e.g., represented by a real number between 0 and 1.

 Paraconsistent logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are several motivations for paraconsistent logic, all of which arise out of a dissatisfaction with the consistency of classical logic, which seems to lead to results which are counter to intuition.
Graham Priest, proponent of the paraconsistent logic dialetheism, offers the example of a man who is standing in a doorway in such a way that precisely half of his molecules are in the room and half of them not.
A paraconsistent logic is a logic which attempts to deal with contradictions.

 Value Solids
Of perhaps deeper significance, however, these value solids for simple classical systems also show a striking resemblance to a very different type of solid that can be drawn for connectives within multi- valued or infinite-valued logics.
Using similar binary decimals for the values of sentences in an infinite-valued logic, on the other hand, a statement with the value.1000 would be half true.
In one standard treatment of infinite-valued connectives, for example, the value of a conjunction of sentences p and q is the minimum value of the two, represented as:

 A Multi-valued Epistemic Logic for Web-based Information Retrieval
This research formulates a multi-valued epistemic logic (MEL) which combines the features of both multi-valued logic and epistemic logic, allowing the various notions of self-belief, meta-belief, degree of belief and degree of meta-belief to be represented.
This research considers a unifying logic that subsumes the semantics of various existing epistemic logics such asthe logic of implicit and explicit belief, the logic of awareness, the Cadoli-Schaerf epistemic model, Non-standard epistemic logic, the logic of local reasoning,Epistemic structures, the logic of implicit and explicit propositions and Fusion epistemic models.
In outline, this thesis presents a logic that not only has a sound and complete axiomatization and is decidable, but also (i) has a unifying semantics for representing belief, (ii) provides a means to represent degree of belief and (iii) adopts both the deductive-theoretic and the model-theoretic approach for characterizing belief.

 Many-Valued Logic
A philosophical application of 3-valued logic to the discussion of paradoxes was proposed by the Russian logician Bochvar (1938), and a mathematical one to partial function and relations by the American logician Kleene (1938).
They are similar to classical logic because they accept the principle of truth-functionality, namely, that the truth of a compound sentence is determined by the truth values of its component sentences (and so remains unaffected when one of its component sentences is replaced by another sentence with the same truth value).
And A is logically valid or a tautology iff it is valid under all valuations.

 multi-valued logic: an introduction
The focus is on extending the notion of binary logic as the description of electronic switching between two states (in general given as '1' and '0', or 'on' and 'off' or 'true' and 'false') to multi-value logic.
In case of 3 valued logic the term ternary or trinary logic is used.
the logic '1' is assumed to be identical to the arithmetical '1' and the logical '0' is assumed to be identical to the arithmetical '0'.

We do not use a particular multi-valued logic but a family of logics, and each viewpoint has a specify logic associated with it.
The family of multi-valued logics that have these properties are called quasi-boolean logics.
Note that the symmetry of the lattice diagram across its horizontal axis is a sufficient condition for quasi-boolean logic, where the negation of each element is defined to be its image through horizontal symmetry.

 F. C. S. Schiller Bibliography
Logic cannot be independent of psychology, and truth is the recognition of a practical value.
Logic should consist of aids to actual reflective thinking and hence is a normative science of the evaluation of truth-claims.
Given these considerations, the proper criteria of truth cannot be found in formal logic, since that logic only deals with the formal truth-claim made by every proposition, and hence is unable to distinguish the actual truth from error.

This collaboration has resulted in a number of interesting publications about different systems of many-valued logic and their relation to main uncertainty calculi, such as probability theory or possibilistic logic.
A complete analysis of the relations between this logic and the fragment of necessity-valued possibilistic logic and fuzzy-truth-valued logic was also achieved.
A very recent application of Fuzzy Logic undertaken in our Institute within the framework of the PhD work of Maite López is applied to the problem of the acquisition of maps of unknown environments by means of a troup of autonomous mini-robots (the ANTs project).

Just as is the case for fuzzy logic's relation to multi-valued logic, MVL can be shown to take us a certain distance, but a qualitative leap is needed to achieve real open texture (by the way, the concept seems to have originated in jurisprudence).
While the correct path, I believe, is to formalize the processes of argumentation -- counterargument, rebuttal, defeat, etc. -- that are appropriate, a multi-valued logic reduction seeks to reduce the convention to something that it is not.
Some, for example, have tried to reduce the non-demonstrative reasoning on which open-texture depends to various kinds of multi-valued logics.

Since he views logic and mathematics as forms of human behavior involving semantic reactions, he reinterprets the '=' as indicating equivalency, which is a function of agreement by humans to ignore differences.
Aristotle's formulation of logic accentuates this use of "to be" and thus encourages us to treat the classifications and qualities we ascribe to the world as self-evident givens rather than abstractions we create.
The propositions of logic have long been recognized as being "necessary" and so nonempirical; and this view of the nature of logic is held almost without exception by logicians and philosophers.
