Abstract

Relation-changing modal logics are extensions of the basic modal logic that allow to change the accessibility relation of a model during the evaluation of a formula. In particular, they are equipped with dynamic modalities that are able to delete, add and swap edges in the model, both locally and globally. We investigate the satisfiability problem of these logics. We define satisfiability-preserving translations from an undecidable memory logic to relation-changing modal logics. This way we show that their satisfiability problems are undecidable.
