We consider several formalizations in the language of second-order arithmetic of "The formula $\phi$ is a theorem of $\omega$-logic", including some which have been studied in the literature and a new variant defined via a least fixed…

The Sigma formulas of the language of arithmetic express semidecidable relations on the natural numbers. More generally, whenever a totality of objects is regarded as incomplete, the Sigma formulas express relations that are witnessed in a…

Recently, there has been considerable progress on designing algorithms with provable guarantees -- typically using linear algebraic methods -- for parameter learning in latent variable models. But designing provable algorithms for inference…

The notion of clause set cycle abstracts a family of methods for automated inductive theorem proving based on the detection of cyclic dependencies between clause sets. By discerning the underlying logical features of clause set cycles, we…

To refine formal methods for concurrent systems, there are several ways of enriching classical operational semantics of process calculi. One can enable the auditing and undoing of past synchronisations thanks to communication keys, thus…

We construct here an iterative evaluation of all PR map codes: progress of this iteration is measured by descending complexity within "Ordinal" O := N[\omega] of polynomials in one indeterminate, ordered lexicographically. Non-infinit…

We introduce and study several notions of computability-theoretic reducibility between subsets of $\omega$ that are "robust" in the sense that if only partial information is available about the oracle, then partial information can be…

The paper is devoted to a reverse-mathematical study of some well-known consequences of Ramsey's theorem for pairs, focused on the chain-antichain principle $\mathsf{CAC}$, the ascending-descending sequence principle $\mathsf{ADS}$, and the…

Warning: This paper contains a mistake, rendering the proof of the main theorem invalid. The logic of Bunched Implications (BI) combines both additive and multiplicative connectives, which include two primitive intuitionistic implications.…

We show that over the weak base theory $\mathrm{RCA}_0^*$, cohesive Ramsey's theorem for pairs $\mathrm{CRT}^2_2$ implies exponential closure of the definable cut $\mathrm{I}^0_1$, which is the intersection of all $\Sigma^0_1$-definable…

In this thesis, we investigate the computational content and the logical strength of Ramsey's theorem and its consequences. For this, we use the frameworks of reverse mathematics and of computable reducibility. We proceed to a systematic…

A class of models is presented, in the form of continuation monads polymorphic for first-order individuals, that is sound and complete for minimal intuitionistic predicate logic. The proofs of soundness and completeness are constructive and…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Mints that the positive fragment of minimal predicate logic is decidable. The idea of the proof is to replace the eigenvariable condition of sequent calculus by an appropriate scoping mechanism. The…
