Abstract
We present tableau calculi for the logics D k (k≥2) semantically characterized by the classes of Kripke models built on finite k-ary trees. Our tableau calculi use the signs T and F, some tableau rules for Intuitionistic Logic and two rules formulated in a hypertableau fashion. We prove the Soundness and Completeness Theorems for our calculi. Finally, we use them to prove the main properties of the logics D k, in particular their constructivity and their decidability.
