What Kinds of Connectives Cause the Difference between Intuitionistic Predicate Logic and the Logic of Constant Domains?

It is known that intuitionistic Kripke semantics can be generalized so that it can treat arbitrary propositional connectives characterized by truth functions. We extend this generalized Kripke semantics to first-order logic, and study how the choice of connectives changes the relation between intuitionistic predicate logic and the logic of constant domains in terms of validity of sequents. Our main result gives a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the set of valid sequents in intuitionistic predicate logic to coincide with the set of valid sequents in the logic of constant domains.

Effect of the Choice of Connectives on the Relation between the Logic of Constant Domains and Classical Predicate Logic

It is known that not only classical semantics but also intuitionistic Kripke semantics can be generalized so that it can treat arbitrary propositional connectives characterized by truth tables, or truth functions. In our previous work, it has been shown that the set of Kripke-valid propositional sequents and that of classically valid propositional sequents coincide if and only if all available propositional connectives are monotonic. The present paper extend this result to frst-order logic showing that, in the case of predicate logic, the condition that all available propositional connectives are monotonic is a necessary and sufficient condition for the set of sequents valid in all constant domain Kripke models, not the set of Kripke-valid sequents, and the set of classically valid sequents to coincide.
