Abstract

New types of knowledge constructions in epistemic logic are defined, whose semantics is given by a combination of game-theoretic notions and modal semantics. A new notion of knowledge introduced in this framework is focussed knowledge, which arises from the game-theoretic phenomenon of imperfect information in quantified versions of epistemic logics. This notion is shown to be useful in knowledge representation of multi-agent systems with uncertainty. In general, imperfect information gives rise to partialised versions of these logics.
