Draft Completeness and Cut-elimination in the Intuitionistic Theory of Types
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we give a semantic proof of cut-elimination for ICTT. ICTT is an intuitionistic formulation of Church’s theory of types defined by Miller, Scedrov, Nadathur and Pfenning in the late 1980s. It is the basis for the λprolog programming language. Our approach, extending techniques of Takahashi, Andrews and tableaux machinery of Fitting, Smullyan, Nerode and Shore, is to prove a completeness theorem for the cut-free fragment, and show, semantically, that cut is a derived rule. The technique used allows us to extract a generalization of the Takahashi-Schütte lemma on extending semivaluations in impredicative systems. We strengthen Andrews’ notion of Hintikka sets to intuitionistic logic in a way that also defines tableau-provability for intuitionistic type theory. We develop a corresponding model theory for ICTT and, after giving a completeness theorem without using cut we then show, using cut, how to establish completeness of more conventional term models. Our work supplies a declarative semantics for the logic underlying the lambda-Prolog programming language.

Completeness and Cut-elimination in the Intuitionistic Theory of Types
In this paper we define a model theory and give a semantic proof of cut-elimination for ICTT, an intuitionistic formulation of Church’s theory of types defined by Miller et. al. and the basis for the λProlog programming language.

متن کاملSOME RESULTS ON INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SPACES
In this paper we define intuitionistic fuzzy metric and normedspaces. We first consider finite dimensional intuitionistic fuzzy normed spacesand prove several theorems about completeness, compactness and weak convergencein these spaces. In section 3 we define the intuitionistic fuzzy quotientnorm and study completeness and review some fundamental theorems. Finally,we consider some properties of...
متن کاملSemantic Cut Elimination in the Intuitionistic Sequent Calculus
Cut elimination is a central result of the proof theory. This paper proposes a new approach for proving the theorem for Gentzen’s intuitionistic sequent calculus LJ, that relies on completeness of the cutfree calculus with respect to Kripke Models. The proof defines a general framework to extend the cut elimination result to other intuitionistic deduction systems, in particular to deduction mod...
متن کاملExtended Abstract: Reconsidering Intuitionistic Duality
This paper proposes a new syntax and proof system called Dualized Intuitionistic Logic (DIL), for intuitionistic propositional logic with the subtraction operator. Our goal is a conservative extension of standard propositional intuitionistic logic with perfect duality (symmetry) between positive and negative connectives. The proof system should satisfy the following metatheoretic properties: so...
