Propositional Discourse Logic

Beyond Quantifier-Free Interpolation in Extensions of Presburger

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 ...

Here is a passage from Girard’s Proof Nets: the Parallel Syntax for Proof Theory [Gir96, §A.2]1 : There are two multiplicative neutrals, 1 and ⊥, and two rules, the axiom ⊢ 1 and the weakening rule: from ⊢ Γ, deduce ⊢ Γ, ⊥. Both rules are handled by means of links with one conclusion and no premise; ...
