Relevant epistemic logic with public announcements and common knowledge

Abstract

AbstractWe study a version of public announcement logic with common knowledge based on the relevant logic $\textsf {R}$. Public announcements, as represented in our framework, are not necessarily truthful and accepted by all agents, nor is it assumed that beliefs are preserved under announcements. We establish a completeness result with respect to a relational semantics, and we show that an alternative semantics based on information states is dual to the relational one. We add a question-forming inquisitive disjunction operator to the language and prove a completeness result with respect to the information semantics.
