Abstract

In [60] N. Belnap presented an 8-element matrix for the relevant logic R with the following property: if in an implication AB the formulas A and B do not have a common variable then there exists a valuation v such that v (AB) does not belong to the set of designated elements of this matrix. A 6-element matrix of this kind can be found in: R. Routley, R.K. Meyer, V. Plumwood and R.T. Brady [82], Below we prove that the logics generated by these two matrices are the only maximal extensions of the relevant logic R which have the relevance property: if AB is provable in such a logic then A and B have a common propositional variable.
