The Logic of Atomic Sentences

But we are also told that d is left of e, and consequently c is to the left of e, by the textbftransitiv ...

On the Construction of Analytic Sequent Calculi for Sub
... Γ and ∆ are finite sets of formulas. We employ the standard sequent notations, e.g. when writing expressions like Γ, ψ ⇒ ∆ or ⇒ ψ. The union of sequents is defined by (Γ1 ⇒ ∆1 ) ∪ (Γ2 ⇒ ∆2 ) = Γ1 ∪ Γ2 ⇒ ∆1 ∪ ∆2 . For a sequent Γ ⇒ ∆, frm(Γ ⇒ ∆) = Γ ∪ ∆. This notation is naturally extended to sets of ...
