The purpose of the present paper is to show that modal propositional logics can be interpreted in a logic based on relational calculus. We consider languages with necessity operators [R], where R is an accessibility relation expression representing an element of the algebra of binary relations with operations −,∪,∩, −1 , ◦. The relational logic is based on relational calculus enriched by operations of weakest prespecification and weakest postspecification introduced in Hoare and He Jifeng and investigated in He Jifeng et (...) al . The logic is an extension of the system introduced in Or lowska and investigated in Buszkowski and Or lowska. (shrink)

Models for the Lambek calculus of syntactic categories surveyed here are based on frames that are in principle of the same type as Kripke frames for intuitionistic logic. These models are extracted from the literature on models for relevant logics, in particular the ternary relationed models introduced in the early seventies. The purpose of this brief survey is to locate some open completeness problems for variants of the Lambek calculus in the context of completeness results based on various types of (...) ternary relational models.
