Allen Mann : IF logic and Kleene algebras

Abstract:
It is well known that the Principle of Bivalance fails in IF logic--there are sentences that are neither true nor false. We will use the techniques of algebraic logic to show that the Principle of Trivalence holds--every sentence has one of exactly three possible truth-values. We will further show that IF logic can be viewed an a first-order extension of Kleene's strong three-valued logic.
