Tower-Complete Problems in Contraction-Free Substructural Logics
英文摘要：
We investigate the non-elementary computational complexity of a family of substructural logics without contraction. With the aid of the technique pioneered by Lazić and Schmitz (2015), we show that the deducibility problem for full Lambek calculus with exchange and weakening ($\mathbf{FL}_{\mathbf{ew}}$) is not in Elementary (i.e., the class of decision problems that can be decided in time bounded by an elementary recursive function), but is in PR (i.e., the class of decision problems that can be decided in time bounded by a primitive recursive function). More precisely, we show that this problem is complete for Tower, which is a non-elementary complexity class forming a part of the fast-growing complexity hierarchy introduced by Schmitz (2016). The same complexity result holds even for deducibility in BCK-logic, i.e., the implicational fragment of $\mathbf{FL}_{\mathbf{ew}}$. We furthermore show the Tower-completeness of the provability problem for elementary affine logic, which was proved to be decidable by Dal Lago and Martini (2004).
