Abstract: . We investigate the completeness of Hoare logic on the propositional level. In particular, the expressiveness requirements of Cook's proof are characterized propositionally. We give a completeness result for propositional Hoare logic (PHL): all relationally valid rules fb1g p1 fc1g; : : : ; fbng pn fcng fbg p fcg are derivable in PHL, provided the propositional expressiveness conditions are met. Moreover, if the programs p i in the premises are atomic, no expressiveness assumptions are... (Update)
