Structural Cut Elimination: I. Intuitionistic and Classical Logic
نویسنده
چکیده
We present new variants of known proofs of cut elimination for intui-tionistic and classical sequent calculi. In both cases the proofs proceed by three nested structural inductions, avoiding the explicit use of multi-sets and termination measures on sequent derivations. This makes them amenable to elegant and concise representations in LF, which are given in full detail.

A focused approach to combining logics
We present a compact sequent calculus LKU for classical logic organized around the concept of polarization. Focused sequent calculi for classical, intuitionistic, and multiplicative-additive linear logics are derived as fragments of the host system by varying the sensitivity of specialized structural rules to polarity information. We identify a general set of criteria under which cut eliminatio...
متن کاملStructural Cut Elimination
We present new proofs of cut elimination for intuitionistic, classical, and linear sequent calculi. In all cases the proofs proceed by three nested structural inductions, avoiding the explicit use of multi-sets and termination measures on sequent derivations. This makes them amenable to elegant and concise implementations in Elf, a constraint logic programming language based on the LF logical f...
متن کاملCut Elimination for a Class of Propositional Based Logics
Sufficient conditions for propositional based logics to enjoy cut elimination are established. These conditions are satisfied by a wide class of logics encompassing among others classical and intuitionistic logic, modal logic S4, and classical and intuitionistic linear logic and some of their fragments. The class of logics is characterized by the type of rules and provisos used in their sequent...
متن کاملAlgebraic proofs of cut elimination
Algebraic proofs of the cut-elimination theorems for classical and intuitionistic logic are presented, and are used to show how one can sometimes extract a constructive proof and an algorithm from a proof that is nonconstructive. A variation of the double-negation translation is also discussed: if φ is provable classically, then ¬(¬φ) is provable in minimal logic, where θ denotes the negation-n...
متن کاملLabel-free Modular Systems for Classical and Intuitionistic Modal Logics
In this paper we show for each of the modal axioms d, t, b, 4, and 5 an equivalent set of inference rules in a nested sequent system, such that, when added to the basic system for the modal logic K, the resulting system admits cut elimination. Then we show the same result also for intuitionistic modal logic. We achieve this by combining structural and logical rules.
