Kripke completeness of strictly positive modal logics over meet-semilattices with operators by Kikot, Stanislav, Kurucz, Agi, Tanaka, Yoshihito, Wolter, Frank, Zakharyaschev, Michael

“…Originated in logic, algebra and computer science, spi-logics have two natural semantics: meet-semilattices with monotone operators providing Birkhoff-style calculi and first-order relational structures (aka Kripke frames) often used as the intended structures in applications. Here we lay foundations for a completeness theory that aims to answer the question whether the two semantics define the same consequence relations for a given spi-logic.…”
