چکیده

We present a uniform algorithm for transforming machine-found matrix proofs in classical, constructive, and modal logics into sequent proofs. It is based on unified representations of matrix characterizations, of sequent calculi, and of prefixed sequent systems for various logics. The peculiarities of an individual logic are described by certain parameters of these representations, which are summarized in tables to be consulted by the conversion algorithm.

Converting Non-Classical Matrix Proofs into Sequent-Style Systems

In M. McRobbie and J. Slaney, editors, 13 International Conference on Automated Deduction, LNAI 1104, pp. 418–432, c ©Springer Verlag, 1996. Abstract. We present a uniform algorithm for transforming matrix proofs in classical, constructive, and modal logics into sequent style proofs. Making use of a similarity between matrix methods and Fitting’s prefixed tableaus we first develop a procedure f...

Uniform Proofs of Normalisation and Approximation for Intersection Types

We present intersection type systems in the style of sequent calculus, modifying the systems that Valentini introduced to prove normalisation properties without using the reducibility method. Our systems are more natural than Valentini’s ones and equivalent to the usual natural deduction style systems. We prove the characterisation theorems of strong and weak normalisation through the proposed ...

Matrix-based Constructive Theorem Proving

Formal methods for program verification, optimization, and synthesis rely on complex mathematical proofs, which often involve reasoning about computations. Because of that there is no single automated proof procedure that can handle all the reasoning problems occurring during a program derivation or verification. Instead, one usually relies on proof assistants like NuPRL (Constable et al., 1986...

Connection-based Proof Construction in Linear Logic Connection-based Proof Construction in Linear Logic

We present a matrix characterization of logical validity in the multiplicative fragment of linear logic. On this basis we develop a matrix-based proof search procedure for this fragment and a procedure which translates the machine-found proofs back into the usual sequent calculus for linear logic. Both procedures are straightforward extensions of methods which were developed for a uniform treat...
