Modal context restriction for multiagent BDI logics

We present and discuss a novel language restriction for modal logics for multiagent systems, called modal context restriction, that reduces the complexity of the satisfiability problem from EXPTIME complete to NPTIME complete. We focus on BDI multimodal logics that contain fix-point modalities like common beliefs and mutual intentions together with realism and introspection axioms. We show how this combination of modalities and axioms affects complexity of the satisfiability problem and how it can be reduced by restricting the modal context of formulas.
