Chvatal-Gomory cutting planes (CG-cuts for short) are a fundamental tool in Integer Programming. Given any single CG-cut, one can derive an entire family of CG-cuts, by `iterating' its multiplier vector modulo one. This leads naturally to…

Herbrand's theorem is one of the most fundamental insights in logic. From the syntactic point of view, it suggests a compact representation of proofs in classical first- and higher-order logic by recording the information of which instances…

In this paper we motivate and study the possibility of an intuitionistic quantum logic. An explicit investigation of the application of the theory of Bruns and Lakser on distributive hulls on traditional quantum logic (as suggested in…

We introduce an operational rewriting-based semantics for strictly positive nested higher-order (co)inductive types. The semantics takes into account the "limits" of infinite reduction sequences. This may be seen as a refinement and…

We present a finite algorithm for computing the set of irreducible unitary representations of a real reductive group G. The Langlands classification, as formulated by Knapp and Zuckerman, exhibits any representation with an invariant…

The central result of this paper is the small-is-very-small principle for restricted sequential theories. The principle says roughly that whenever the given theory shows that a property has a small witness, i.e. a witness in every definable…

Following A. Kuznetsov's outline, we restore Kuznetsov's syntactic proof of the assertoric equipollence of the intuitionistic propositional calculus and the proof-intuitionistic calculus KM (Kuznetsov's Theorem). Then, we show that this…

This paper is a structured introduction to Light Affine Logic, and to its intuitionistic fragment. Light Affine Logic has a polynomially costing cut elimination (P-Time correctness), and encodes all P-Time Turing machines (P-Time…

We give an algorithm for finding the index of a positive outer automorphism of the free group, and prove the algorithm exits in a finite time.

Using proof-theoretical techniques, we analyze a proof by H.-K. Xu regarding a result of strong convergence for the Halpern type proximal point algorithm. We obtain a rate of metastability (in the sense of T. Tao) and also a rate of…

In sequent calculi, cut elimination is a property that guarantees that any provable formula can be proven analytically. For example, Gentzen's classical and intuitionistic calculi LK and LJ enjoy cut elimination. The property is less…

It is a consequence of existing literature that least and greatest fixed-points of monotone polynomials on Heyting algebras-that is, the algebraic models of the Intuitionistic Propositional Calculus-always exist, even when these algebras…

We describe an algorithmic method of proof compression based on the introduction of Pi_2-cuts into a cut-free LK-proof. The current approach is based on an inversion of Gentzen s cut-elimination method and extends former methods for…

We consider a randomised version of Kleene's realisability interpretation of intuitionistic arithmetic in which computability is replaced with randomised computability with positive probability. In particular, we show that (i) the set of…

We reprove the countable splitting lemma by adapting Nawrotzki's algorithm which produces a sequence that converges to a solution. Our algorithm combines Nawrotzki's approach with taking finite cuts. It is constructive in the sense that…

We show that if a theory R defined by a rewrite system is super-consistent, the classical sequent calculus modulo R enjoys the cut elimination property, which was an open question. For such theories it was already known that proofs strongly…

A common optimization problem is the minimization of a symmetric positive definite quadratic form $< x,Tx >$ under linear constrains. The solution to this problem may be given using the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. In this work we extend…

Plural (or multiple-conclusion) cuts are inferences made by applying a structural rule introduced by Gentzen for his sequent formulation of classical logic. As singular (single-conclusion) cuts yield trees, which underlie ordinary natural…

Many multilinear discrete operators are primed for pointwise decomposition; such decompositions give structural information but also an essentially optimal range of bounds. We study the (continuous) slicing method of Jeong and Lee -- which…

The paper gives a soundness and completeness proof for the implicative fragment of intuitionistic calculus with respect to the semantics of computability logic, which understands intuitionistic implication as interactive algorithmic…
