Abstract

We characterize (both from a syntactic and an algebraic point of view) the normal $K4$-logics for which unification is filtering. We also give a sufficient semantic criterion for existence of most general unifiers, covering natural extensions of $K4.2^+$ (i.e. of the modal system obtained from $K4$ by adding to it, as a further axiom schemata, the modal translation of the weak excluded middle principle).
