Euler diagrams have been used for centuries as a means for conveying ideas in an intuitive, informal way. Recently much research has been conducted to develop formal, diagrammatic …
Diagrammatic reasoning has the potential to be important in numerous application areas. This paper focuses on the simple, but widely used, Euler diagrams that form the basis of …
Spider diagrams are a visual language for expressing logical statements or constraints. Several sound and complete spider diagram systems have been developed and it has been …

The main goal of this paper is to present the basis for a heterogeneous Euler/Venn diagram and First Order Logic (FOL) reasoning system. We will begin by defining a homogeneous …
Visual languages are studied in many different disciplines including Formal Logic. Several diagram methods have been proposed for the visual representation of the logical relations …
Many diagrammatic logics based on Euler diagrams have been defined with the aim of making precise reasoning easier for people. In such logics, it is unusual to find the negation …
