Independence-Friendly Logic: A Game-Theoretic Approach

Allen L. Mann (University of Tampere, Finland),Gabriel Sandu (University of Helsinki),Merlijn Sevenster (Philips Research Laboratories, The Netherlands)

Bringing together over twenty years of research, this book gives a complete overview of independence-friendly logic. It emphasizes the game-theoretical approach to logic, according to which logical concepts such as truth and falsity are best understood via the notion of semantic games. The book pushes the paradigm of game-theoretical semantics further than the current literature by showing how mixed strategies and equilibria can be used to analyze independence-friendly formulas on finite models. The book is suitable for graduate students and advanced undergraduates who have taken a course on first-order logic. It contains a primer of the necessary background in game theory, numerous examples and full proofs.
