Polynomial semantics for modal logics. (English) Zbl 1444.03039
Summary: It is shown here that the modal logic $$K$$ and any extension of it with a finite number of axioms can be characterised by a polynomial semantics. Moreover, some comments are made about the possibility of using algebraic computation to determine deducibility on these logics.
