Abstract
In this paper, we study alethic modal operators in Łukasiewicz’ many-valued logics where truth values are certain rational numbers from the closed unit interval [0,1]. The alethic modal operators necessary and possible are added to Ł3 using Tarski’s idea. The result is a modal logic denoted by Ł\(_{3}^{\mathrm{mod}}\). A formula-equivalency between Ł n and Ł\(_{n}^{\mathrm{mod}}\) is stated for n ≥ 3. Truth value assignments, or valuations, in Łukasiewicz’ n-valued modal logic are considered. The laws of excluded middle and contradiction are considered and found that they are possible in Ł\(_{n}^{\mathrm{mod}}\). Normal modal many-valued systems based on axiom schemes (K), (T), (S4), (B) and (S5) are considered.
