AbstractWe present an efficient proof search procedure for Intuitionistic Propositional Logic which involves the use of an incremental SAT-solver. Basically, it is obtained by adding a restart operation to the system by Claessen and Rosén, thus we call our implementation . We gain some remarkable advantages: derivations have a simple structure; countermodels are in general small; using a standard benchmarks suite, we outperform and other state-of-the-art provers.

Dyckhoff's algorithm for contraction-free proof search in intuitionistic propositional logic (popularized by Augustsson as the type-directed program synthesis tool, Djinn) is a simple program with a rather tricky termination proof. In this talk, I describe my efforts to reduce this program to a steady structural descent. On the way, I shall present an attempt at a compositional approach to explaining termination, via a uniform presentation of memoization.

A natural deduction system NI, for the full propositional intuitionistic logic, is proposed. The operational rules of NI are obtained by the translation from Gentzen’s calculus LJ and the normalization is proved, via translations from sequent calculus derivations to natural deduction derivations and back.
