The Dynamic Logic of Permission

RON van der MEYDEN

Department of Computing Science, University of Technology Sydney, PO Box 123, Broadway, NSW 2007, Australia E-mail: ron{at}socs.uts.edu.au

Applications of deontic logic in areas such as intelligent legal information systems require the ability to represent at least two different notions of permission, one of which, ‘free choice permission’, cannot be adequately represented in standard modal logics. We define a logic which handles this modality by using ideas from dynamic logic. The logic is also able to expresses a different notion of permission corresponding to a lack of prohibition. The main result is the completeness of an axiomatization of the logic.

Keywords: Deontic logic; dynamic logic; modal logic; actions; permission
