Abstract

We give sound and complete analytic tableau systems for the propositional bimodal logics KB, KB-C, KB-5, and KB-5C. These logics have two universal modal operators K and B, where K stands for knowing and B stands for believing. The logic KB is a combination of the modal logic S5 (for K) and KD45 (for B ) with the interaction axioms I : K驴 驴 B驴 and C : B驴 驴 KB驴. The logics KB-C, KB-5, KB-5C are obtained from KB respectively by deletingthe axiom C (for KB-C), the axioms 5 (for KB-5), and both of the axioms C and 5 (for KB-5C). As analytic sequent-like tableau systems, our calculi give simple decision procedures for reasoning about both knowledge and belief in the mentioned logics.
