Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the set­theoretic translation method for
polymodal logic introduced in [11] to extended modal logics. Instead of
devising an ad­hoc translation for each logic, defining a new set­theoretic
function symbol for each new modal operator, we develop a general framework
within which a number of extended modal logics can be dealt with. More
precisely, we extend the basic set­theoretic translation method to weak
monadic second­order logic through a suitable change in the underlying set
theory that connects up in interesting ways with constructibility; then, we
show how to tailor such a translation to deal with specific cases of extended
modal logics.
