Achieving while maintaining: A logic of knowing how with intermediate constraints

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a ternary knowing how operator to express that the agent knows how to achieve $ϕ$ given $ψ$ while maintaining $χ$ in-between. It generalizes the logic of goal-directed knowing how proposed by Yanjing Wang 2015 'A logic of knowing how'. We give a sound and complete axiomatization of this logic.
