Structural proof theory is a branch of logic that studies the general structure and properties of logical and mathematical proofs. This book is both a concise introduction to the central results and methods of structural proof theory, and a work of research that will be of interest to specialists. ...

Proof Theory is concerned almost exclusively with the study of formal proofs: this is justifled, in part, by the close connection between social and formal proofs, ... Second, to study the structure of formal proofs; for instance, to flnd normal forms for proofs and to establish syntactic facts about proofs. This is the study of proofs as ...

study, and we wish to reason about the properties that proofs and proof systems may have. For example, we may wish to say that a proof system is sound, complete, etc. A brief timeline of the development of proof theory is as follows: 1879Frege - the structure of proofs should be formalized as objects (object level)

An arbitrary proof involving sequents is a proof in classical logic. A proof in which all sequents contain at most one formula on the right is an intuitionistic proof. Equivalently: an intuitionistic (cut-free) proof has no contractions on the right and the implication left rule must be restricted as follows: 1 B 2;C D 1; 2;B ˙C D ˙L

In one of his last published notes, Gödel claimed that Turing had committed a “philosophical error” in his paper “On computable numbers” when arguing that mental procedures cannot go beyond mechanical ones ...

Start with a transformed proof: only shallow atomic cuts as up-rule. Consider the topmost cut, and generate the two copies of the proof above the cut (use a=t and a=t): Bottom-up in 1 replace a=R Πno effect if a is in the context or in s;m. Otherwise, x it (left) to paste it for the cut-eliminated proof (right),

The aim of structural proof theory then is the study of the structure and properties of these “texts.” By its very nature structural proof theory is a “theoretical computing science” avant la lettre.Itis in this quality that its study nowadays continues to find its legitimacy. I shall go one better than that:

Logic programming has driven innovations in proof theory By taking proof search as a serious computational principle, proof theoreticians have been lead to develop new proof-theoretic notions [18]. In particular, focusing and polarization [1, 8] are a significant extension to the earlier idea of uniform proofs [12].

In Gentzen's original calculus of 1934-35, the structural rules were first assumed, and then it was shown how to eliminate applications of the cut rule. A calculus for intuitionistic logic of the above type, with no structural rules, was first devel-oped by Kleene in 1952 for the purpose of proof search. In Gentzen, negation is

In mathematical logic, structural proof theory is the subdiscipline of proof theory that studies proof calculi that support a notion of analytic proof, a kind of proof whose semantic properties are exposed.When all the theorems of a logic formalised in a structural proof theory have analytic proofs, then the proof theory can be used to demonstrate such things as consistency, provide decision ...

The student will become familiar with the history of structural proof theory, sequent calculi, cut-elimination, and its application. The course is intended to
