A Minimal Propositional Type Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Propositional type theory, first studied by Henkin, is the restriction of simple type theory to a single base type that is interpreted as the set of the two truth values. We show that two constants (falsity and implication) suffice for denotational and deductive completeness. Denotational completeness means that every value of the full set-theoretic type hierarchy can be described by a closed term. Deductive completeness is shown for a sequent-based proof system that extends a propositional natural deduction system with lambda conversion and Boolean replacement.

Eigenvariables, bracketing and the decidability of positive minimal predicate logic
We give a new proof of a theorem of Mints that the positive fragment of minimal predicate logic is decidable. The idea of the proof is to replace the eigenvariable condition of sequent calculus by an appropriate scoping mechanism. The algorithm given by this proof seems to be more practical than that given by the original proof. A naive implementation is given at the end of the paper. Another c...
متن کاملMinimal Distance of Propositional Models
We investigate the complexity of three optimization problems in Boolean propositional logic related to information theory: Given a conjunctive formula over a set of relations, find a satisfying assignment with minimal Hamming distance to a given assignment that satisfies the formula (NearestOtherSolution, NOSol) or that does not need to satisfy it (NearestSolution, NSol). The third problem asks...
متن کاملIntuitionistic Completeness of First-Order Logic – mPC Case
We constructively prove in type theory the completeness of the minimal Propositional Calculus, showing that a formula is provable in mPC if and only if it is uniformly valid in constructive type theory extended with the intersection operator. Our completeness proof provides an effective procedure Prf that converts any uniform evidence into a formal an mPC proof. Mark Bickford has implemented Pr...

متن کاملOn The Fractional Minimal Cost Flow Problem of a Belief Degree Based Uncertain Network
A fractional minimal cost flow problem under linear type belief degree based uncertainty is studied for the first time. This type of uncertainty is useful when no historical information of an uncertain event is available. The problem is crisped using an uncertain chance-constrained programming approach and its non-linear objective function is linearized by a variable changing approach. An illus...
