Skolemization, with Herbrand's theorem, underpins automated theorem proving and various transformations in computer science and mathematics. Skolemization removes strong quantifiers by introducing new function symbols, enabling efficient…
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…
We introduce a generalized logic programming paradigm where programs, consisting of facts and rules with the usual syntax, can be enriched by co-facts, which syntactically resemble facts but have a special meaning. As in coinductive logic…
In this paper, we present a constructive proof of Herschfeld's Convergence Theorem. Our formulation differs from Herschfeld's in a few ways: We consider radicals that nest transfinitely many times, as these are essential to the proof;…
Hilbert's epsilon-calculus is based on an extension of the language of predicate logic by a term-forming operator $\epsilon_{x}$. Two fundamental results about the epsilon-calculus, the first and second epsilon theorem, play a role similar…
Herbrand schemes are a method to extract Herband disjunctions directly from sequent calculus proofs, without appealing to cut elimination, using a formal grammar known as a higher-order recursion scheme. In this note, we show that the core…
This paper presents a new system of logic, LF, that is intended to be used as the foundation of the formalization of science. That is, deductive validity according to LF is to be used as the criterion for assessing what follows from the…
We formalize the notion of Herbrand Consistency in an appropriate way for bounded arithmetics, and show the existence of a finite fragment of ${\rm I\Delta_0}$ whose Herbrand Consistency is not provable in the thoery ${\rm I\Delta_0}$. We…
Logic rules and inference are fundamental in computer science and have been studied extensively. However, prior semantics of logic languages can have subtle implications and can disagree significantly, on even very simple programs,…
We develop a version of Herbrand's theorem for continuous logic and use it to prove that definable functions in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are piecewise approximable by affine functions. We obtain similar results for definable…
Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem is a cornerstone that joins areas of analysis and number theory. Both the genesis and genius of its proof involved combining real analysis and combinatorics. We try to expose the motivations that led Hilbert…
In traditional justification logic, evidence terms have the syntactic form of polynomials, but they are not equipped with the corresponding algebraic structure. We present a novel semantic approach to justification logic that models…
There are several proofs of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, mainly using algebra, analysis and topology. In this article, we have shown that the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra can be proved using Nevanlinna's first fundamental theorem…
In this paper, we reject commonly accepted views on fundamentality in science, either based on bottom-up construction or top-down reduction to isolate the alleged fundamental entities. We do not introduce any new scientific methodology, but…
We provide a sound and complete proof system for an extension of Kleene's ternary logic to predicates. The concept of theory is extended with, for each function symbol, a formula that specifies when the function is defined. The notion of…
In this paper, proof of the {\it Kurlberg-Rudnick supremum conjecture} for the quantum Hannay-Berry model is presented. This conjecture was stated in P. Kurlberg's lectures at Bologna 2001 and Tel-Aviv 2003. The proof is a primer…
We give a proof-theoretic as well as a semantic characterization of a logic in the signature with conjunction, disjunction, negation, and the universal and existential quantifiers that we suggest has a certain fundamental status. We present…
Holliday recently introduced a non-classical logic called Fundamental Logic, which intends to capture exactly those properties of the connectives "and", "or" and "not" that hold in virtue of their introduction and elimination rules in…
Dummett's logic LC is intuitionistic logic extended with Dummett's axiom: for every two statements the first implies the second or the second implies the first. We present a natural deduction and a Curry-Howard correspondence for…
This survey is meant to provide an introduction to the fundamental theorem of linear algebra and the theories behind them. Our goal is to give a rigorous introduction to the readers with prior exposure to linear algebra. Specifically, we…
