epistemic logic, applied logic to social and economic sciences, liquid democracy, multiagent systems, game theory.Abstract
Since Hintikka’s epistemic logic, the logic of knowledge, has been a subject of research in philosophy, computer science, artificial intelligence and game theory. This paper presents a framework of dynamic epistemic logic capable of investigating interactive voting decisions in liquid democracy.
