Du, H., & Alechina, N. (2019, January). Qualitative Spatial Logic over 2D Euclidean Spaces Is Not Finitely Axiomatisable. Presented at 33rd AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-19), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Several qualitative spatial logics used in reasoning about geospatial data have a sound and complete axiomatisation over metric spaces. It has been open whether the same ax-iomatisation is also sound and complete for 2D Euclidean spaces. We answer th...
