Institution-independent Model Theory Paperback / softback
by Razvan Diaconescu
Part of the Studies in Universal Logic series
Paperback / softback
Description
A model theory that is independent of any concrete logical system allows a general handling of a large variety of logics.
This generality can be achieved by applying the theory of institutions that provides a precise mathematical formulation for the intuitive concept of a logical system.
Especially in computer science, where the development of a huge number of specification logics is observable, institution-independent model theory simplifies and sometimes even enables a concise model-theoretic analysis of the system.
Besides incorporating important methods and concepts from conventional model theory, the proposed top-down methodology allows for a structurally clean understanding of model-theoretic phenomena.
As a consequence, results from conventional concrete model theory can be understood more easily, and sometimes even new results are obtained.
