Mann, Allen L.,
Independence-Friendly Logic : A Game-Theoretic Approach / Allen L. Mann, Gabriel Sandu, Merlijn Sevenster. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2011. - 1 online resource (216 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 386 . - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 386. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 16 Oct 2015).
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.
