چکیده

In this paper we present a sequent calculus for propositional dynamic logic built using an enriched version of the tree-hypersequent method and including an infinitary rule for the iteration operator. We prove that this sequent calculus is theoremwise equivalent to the corresponding Hilbert-style system, and that it is contraction-free and cut-free. All results are proved in a purely syntactic way.

A Sequent Calculus for Dynamic Topological Logic

We introduce a sequent calculus for the temporal-over-topological fragment DTL ◦∗/2 0 of dynamic topological logic DTL, prove soundness semantically, and prove completeness syntactically using the axiomatization of DTL ◦∗/2 0 given in [3]. A cut-free sequent calculus for DTL ◦∗/2 0 is obtained as the union of the propositional fragment of Gentzen’s classical sequent calculus, two 2 structural r...

Interpolants, Cut Elimination and Flow Graphs for the Propositional Calculus

We analyse the structure of propositional proofs in the sequent calculus focusing on the wellknown procedures of Interpolation and Cut Elimination. We are motivated in part by the desire to understand why a tautology might be ‘hard to prove’. Given a proof we associate to it a logical graph tracing the flow of formulas in it (Buss, 1991). We show some general facts about logical graphs such as ...

A Semantical Analysis of Focusing and Contraction in Intuitionistic Logic

Focusing is a proof-theoretic device to structure proof search in the sequent calculus: it provides a normal form to cut-free proofs in which the application of invertible and non-invertible inference rules is structured in two separate and disjoint phases. Although stemming from proofsearch considerations, focusing has not been thoroughly investigated in actual theorem proving, in particular w...

Proof Theory for Distributed Knowledge

The proof theory of multi-agent epistemic logic extended with operators for distributed knowledge is studied. Distributed knowledge of A within a group G means that A follows from the totality of what the individual members of G know. There are known axiomatizations for epistemic logics with the distributed knowledge operator, but apparently no cut-free proof system for such logics has yet been...

Loop - free construction of counter -

We present a non-looping method to construct Kripke trees refuting the non-theorems of intuitionistic propositional logic, using a contraction-free sequent calculus.
