Modal logic is the study of modal propositions and the logical relation-ships that they bear to one another. The most well-known modal propo-sitions are propositions about what is necessarily the …

Modal logics are extensions of classical logic by the operators (“box”) and (“diamond”), which attach to formulas. Intu-itively, may be read as “necessarily” and as “possibly,” so p is “p is necessarily true” …

Modal analysis is defined as the study of the dynamic characteristics of a mechanical structure. This applica-tion note emphasizes experimental modal techniques, specifically the method known as …

Over the past 50 years, great advances have happened in both analytical modal analysis (i.e., finite element models and analysis) and experimental modal analysis (i.e., modal testing) in aerospace …

Although Chapter 2 introduced modal proof theory, and Chapter 3 studied the computational complexity of modal logic, only with this chapter do we reach the heartland of computational modal logic: how to …

The Modal Ontological Argument Peter van Inwagen details an updated version of Anselm’s ontological argument—one which makes use of possible worlds in order to prove that God exists.
