A language is considered in which the reader can express such properties of block-structured programs with recursive functions as correctness and partial correctness. The semantics of this language is fully described by a set of schemes of axioms and inference rules. The completeness theorem and the soundness theorem for this axiomatization are proved.

In this paper we shall introduce a formal system of algorithmic logic which enables us to formulate some problems connected with a retrieval system which provides a comprehensive tool in automated theorem proving of theorems consisting of programs, procedures and functions. The procedures and functions may occur in considered theorems while the program of the above mentioned system is being executed. We can get an answer whether some relations defined by programs hold and we can prove functional equations in a dynamic way by looking for a special set of axioms /assumptions/ during the execution of system. We formulate RS-algorithm which enables us to construct the set of axioms for proving some properties of functions and relations defined by programs. By RS-algorithm we get the dynamic process of proving functional equations and we can answer the question whether some relations defined by programs hold. It enables us to solve some problems concerning the correctness of programs. This system can be used for giving an expert appraisement. We shall provide the major structures and a sketch of an implementation of the above formal system.

The present paper contains investigations concerning the semantic correctness of programs. Presented methods of analysis of programs are appropriate for every domain of computation. Algorithmic logic extended by classical quantifiers is a fundamental mathematical tool used in the paper. Interrelations between properties of programs and properties of descriptions of programs are studied (a description of a program is a mathematical model of the notion of a documentation of a program).

In this paper we propose to transform the Algorithmic Theory of Stacks (cf. Salwicki [30]) into a logic for expressing and proving properties of programs with stacks. We compare this logic to the Weak Second Order Logic (cf. [11, 15]) and prove theorems concerning axiomatizability without quantifiers (an analogon of Łoś-Tarski theorem) and χ 0 - categoricity (an analogon of Ryll-Nardzewski’s theorem).

The aim of propositional algorithmic logic is to investigate the properties of program connectives. Complete axiomatic systems for deterministic as well as for nondeterministic interpretations of program variables are presented. They constitute basic sets of tools useful in the practice of proving the properties of program schemes. Propositional theories of data structures, e.g. the arithmetic of natural numbers and stacks, are constructed. This shows that in many aspects PAL is close to first-order algorithmic logic. Tautologies of PAL become tautologies of algorithmic logic after replacing program variables by programs and propositional variables by formulas. Another corollary to the completeness theorem asserts that it is possible to eliminate nondeterministic program variables and replace them by schemes with deterministic atoms.

The paper presents a logic which is an algorithmic extension of the classical predicate calculus and is based on the ideas given by F. Kröger. The programs and the effects of their execution are the formulas of this logic which are considered at any time scale. There are many interesting properties of the logic which are connected with the notion of time scale. These properties are examined in the paper. Moreover the problem of the formulas normalization is presented. Our logic is compared with the algorithmic logic introduced by A. Salwicki. Next, the usefulness of a new logic in the theory of programs is shown.
