abstract

We prove undecidability for every positive relevant logic extending the system axiomatized by hypothetical syllogism, prefixing, and suffixing and contained in the logic of the semilattice frame $(P_{\mathrm{fin}}(\mathbb{N}), \cup, \varnothing)$. This settles the longstanding decision problem for the semilattice relevant logic S in the negative, contrary to prevailing expectations of decidability. It also provides a new proof of Urquhart's (1984) undecidability theorem for R, E, and T, now by reduction from the Wang tiling problem for arbitrarily large finite isosceles right triangular regions of the plane.
