Natural Way

<p>Linear logic differs from intuitionistic logic primarily in the absence of the structural rules of weakening and contraction. Weakening allows us to prove a proposition in the context of irrelevant or unused premises, while contraction allows us to use a premise an arbitrary number of times. Linear logic has been called a ''resource-conscious'' logic, since the premises of a sequent must appear exactly as many times as they are used.</p><p>In this paper, we address this ''experimental nature'' by presenting a non-commutative intuitionistic linear logic with several attractive properties. Our logic discards even the limited commutativityof Yetter's logic in which cyclic permutations of formulae are permitted. It arises in a natural way from the system of intuitionistic linear logic presented by Girard and Lafont, and we prove a cut elimination theorem. In linear logic, the rules of weakening and contraction are recovered in a restricted sense by the introduction of the exponential modality(!). This recaptures the expressive power of intuitionistic logic. In our logic the modality ! recovers the non-commutative analogues of these structural rules. However, the most appealing property of our logic is that it is both sound and complete with respect to interpretation in a natural class of models which we call relational quantales.</p>

Intuitionistic Logics

This article presents a unified logic that combines classical logic, intuitionistic logic and affine linear logic (restricting contraction but not weakening). We show that this unification can be achieved semantically, syntactically and in the computational interpretation of proofs. It extends our previous work in combining classical and intuitionistic logics. Compared to linear logic, classical fragments of proofs are better isolated from non-classical fragments. We define a phase semantics for this logic that naturally extends the Kripke semantics of intuitionistic logic. We present a sequent calculus with novel structural rules, which entail a more elaborate procedure for cut elimination. Computationally, this system allows affine-linear interpretations of proofs to be combined with classical interpretations, such as the λμ calculus. We show how cut elimination must respect the boundaries between classical and non-classical modes of proof that correspond to delimited control effects.

Intuitionistic Linear Logic

AbstractWe introduce a logic BI in which a multiplicative (or linear) and an additive (or intuitionistic) implication live side-by-side. The propositional version of BI arises from an analysis of the proof-theoretic relationship between conjunction and implication; it can be viewed as a merging of intuitionistic logic and multiplicative intuitionistic linear logic. The naturality of BI can be seen categorically: models of propositional BI's proofs are given by bicartesian doubly closed categories, i.e., categories which freely combine the semantics of propositional intuitionistic logic and propositional multiplicative intuitionistic linear logic. The predicate version of BI includes, in addition to standard additive quantifiers, multiplicative (or intensional) quantifiers and which arise from observing restrictions on structural rules on the level of terms as well as propositions. We discuss computational interpretations, based on sharing, at both the propositional and predicate levels.

Localized Knowledge

Epistemic logic analyzes reasoning governing localized knowledge, and is thus fundamental to multi- agent systems. Linear logic treats hypotheses as consumable resources, allowing us to model evolution of state. Combining principles from these two separate traditions into a single coherent logic allows us to represent localized consumable resources and their flow in a distributed system. The slogan “possession is linear knowledge” summarizes the underlying idea. We walk through the design of a linear epistemic logic and discuss its basic metatheoretic properties such as cut elimination. We illustrate its expressive power with several examples drawn from an ongoing effort to design and implement a linear epistemic logic programming language for multi-agent distributed systems.

AbstractIn this paper, we show by a proof-theoretical argument that in a logic without structural rules, that is in noncommutative linear logic with exponentials, every formula A for which exchange rules (and weakening and contraction as well) are admissible is provably equivalent to? A. This property shows that the expressive power of “noncommutative exponentials” is much more important than that of “commutative exponentials”.

Abstract The Lambek calculus can be considered as a version of non-commutative intuitionistic linear logic. One of the interesting features of the Lambek calculus is the so-called ‘Lambek’s restriction’, i.e. the antecedent of any provable sequent should be non-empty. In this paper, we discuss ways of extending the Lambek calculus with the linear logic exponential modality while keeping Lambek’s restriction. Interestingly enough, we show that for any system equipped with a reasonable exponential modality the following holds: if the system enjoys cut elimination and substitution to the full extent, then the system necessarily violates Lambek’s restriction. Nevertheless, we show that two of the three conditions can be implemented. Namely, we design a system with Lambek’s restriction and cut elimination and another system with Lambek’s restriction and substitution. For both calculi, we prove that they are undecidable, even if we take only one of the two divisions provided by the Lambek calculus. The system with cut elimination and substitution and without Lambek’s restriction is folklore and known to be undecidable.

Intuitionistic Linear Logic

Abstract Lorenzen has introduced his dialogical approach to the foundations of logic in the late 1950s to justify intuitionistic logic with respect to first principles about constructive reasoning. In the decades that have passed since, Lorenzen-style dialogue games turned out to be an inspiration for a more pluralistic approach to logical reasoning that covers a wide array of nonclassical logics. In particular, the close connection between (single-sided) sequent calculi and dialogue games is an invitation to look at substructural logics from a dialogical point of view. Focusing on intuitionistic linear logic, we illustrate that intuitions about resource-conscious reasoning are well served by translating sequent calculi into Lorenzen-style dialogue games. We suggest that these dialogue games may be understood as games of information extraction, where a sequent corresponds to the claim that a certain information package can be systematically extracted from a given bundle of such packages of logically structured information. As we will indicate, this opens the field for exploring new logical connectives arising by consideration of further forms of storing and structuring information.

Intuitionistic Linear Logic

We describe in full detail a solution to the problem of proving the cut elimination theorem for FILL, a variant of (multiplicative and exponential-free) Linear Logic<br />introduced by Hyland and de Paiva. Hyland and de Paiva's work used a term assignment<br />system to describe FILL and barely sketched the proof of cut elimination. In this paper, as well as correcting a small mistake in their paper and extending the<br />system to deal with exponentials, we introduce a different formal system describing the intuitionistic character of FILL and we provide a full proof of the cut elimination<br />theorem. The formal system is based on a notion of dependence between formulae within a given proof and seems of independent interest. The procedure for<br />cut elimination applies to (classical) multiplicative Linear Logic, and we can (with care) restrict our attention to the subsystem FILL. The proof, as usual with cut<br />elimination proofs, is a little involved and we have not seen it published anywhere.

The resulting term languages, the rec-calculus and the linear rec-calculus respectively, are given sound<br />categorical interpretations. The embedding of proofs of IL into proofs of ILL given by the Girard Translation is extended with the rules for recursion, such that an embedding of terms of the rec-calculus into terms of the linear rec-calculus is induced via the extended Curry-Howard isomorphisms. This embedding is shown to be sound with respect to the categorical interpretations.</p><p><br />Full version of paper to appear in Proceedings of CSL '94, LNCS 933, 1995.

AbstractSubstructural fuzzy logics are substructural logics that are complete with respect to algebras whose lattice reduct is the real unit interval [0, 1]. In this paper, we introduce Uninorm logic UL as Multiplicative additive intuitionistic linear logic MAILL extended with the prelinearity axiom ((A → B) ∧ t) V ((B → A)∧ t). Axiomatic extensions of UL include known fuzzy logics such as Monoidal t-norm logic MIX and Gödel logic G, and new weakening-free logics. Algebraic semantics for these logics are provided by subvarieties of (representable) pointed bounded commutative residuated lattices. Gentzen systems admitting cut-elimination are given in the framework of hypersequents. Completeness with respect to algebras with lattice reduct [0, 1] is established for UL and several extensions using a two-part strategy. First, completeness is proved for the logic extended with Takeuti and Titani's density rule. A syntactic elimination of the rule is then given using a hypersequent calculus. As an algebraic corollary, it follows that certain varieties of residuated lattices are generated by their members with lattice reduct [0, 1].
