Abstract

We prove that the modal logic of a crowded locally compact generalized ordered space is $\textsf {S4}$ . This provides a version of the McKinsey–Tarski theorem for generalized ordered spaces. We then utilize this theorem to axiomatize the modal logic of an arbitrary locally compact generalized ordered space.
