TL;DR. A logical framework that models how agents' knowledge and beliefs change over time due to events or new information.

Technical Definition

A logical framework that models how agents' knowledge and beliefs change over time due to events or new information.

How it works

Dynamic Epistemic Logic (DEL) extends traditional epistemic logic to reason about knowledge updates in multi-agent systems. It provides tools to analyze how an agent's knowledge state evolves when they observe actions, receive information, or experience events. DEL is crucial for modeling strategic reasoning and belief revision.
