Key Points

  • Positive resolutions for definability problems exist in certain classes of intuitionistic Kripke frames.
  • Certain first-order definable classes can lead to undecidable definability problems.
  • The study employs model-theoretic techniques to explore stable classes of Kripke frames.
  • Insights gained contribute to understanding the complexities of definability in logic.

Abstract

We consider restricted forms of the algorithmic problem of definability of first-order sentences by propositional formulas with intuitionistic Kripke frames semantics. We demonstrate positive resolutions for classes of intuitionistic Kripke frames based on linear orders and conversely show that a few natural first-order definable classes give rise to undecidable definability problems by applying the model-theoretic in the nature technique of stable classes of Kripke frames.
