AI总结:
本文提出受保护替换机制,用于亚原子逻辑中的证明压缩,通过仅替换自由变量的受保护出现来构造推导叠加,实现无需切割规则即可p-模拟带替换的Frege系统。
摘要:
亚原子逻辑是结构证明理论中的一项最新创新,其中原子不再被视为逻辑公式中的最小实体,而是被当作二元连接词来处理。因此,我们可以为命题经典逻辑给出一个亚原子证明系统,使得所有推导都是严格线性的:没有任何推理步骤删除或添加信息,甚至单位也是如此。在本文中,我们引入了一种强大的新证明压缩机制,称为受保护替换,它是显式替换的一种变体,仅替换自由变量的受保护出现,而非所有自由出现。这使我们能够构造推导的“叠加”,同时表示多个子推导。我们证明,带有受保护替换的亚原子证明系统可以p-模拟带有替换的Frege系统,而且,实现这一点不需要切割规则。
英文摘要:
Subatomic logic is a recent innovation in structural proof theory where atoms are no longer the smallest entity in a logical formula, but are instead treated as binary connectives. As a consequence, we can give a subatomic proof system for propositional classical logic such that all derivations are strictly linear: no inference step deletes or adds information, even units. In this paper, we introduce a powerful new proof compression mechanism that we call guarded substitutions, a variant of explicit substitutions, which substitute only guarded occurrences of a free variable, instead of all free occurrences. This allows us to construct ''superpositions'' of derivations, which simultaneously represent multiple subderivations. We show that a subatomic proof system with guarded substitution can p-simulate a Frege system with substitution, and moreover, the cut-rule is not required to do so.
