This paper is intended to provide an introduction to cut elimination which is accessible to a broad mathematical audience. Gentzen's cut elimination theorem is not as well known as it deserves to be, and it is tied to a lot of interesting…

In this paper, we present a hypersequent calculus for bimodal logic GR, where the two modalities represent the arithmetic provability predicates of Goedel and Rosser, respectively. We prove the cut-elimination theorem for the calculus.

We present a syntactic cut-elimination procedure for the alternation-free fragment of the modal mu-calculus. Cut reduction is carried out within a cyclic proof system, where proofs are finitely branching but may be non-wellfounded. The…

We define a new type of proof formalism for multi-agent modal logics with S5-type modalities. This novel formalism combines the features of hypersequents to represent S5 modalities with nested sequents to represent the T-like modality…

We present cut-free labelled sequent calculi for a central formalism in logics of agency: STIT logics with temporal operators. These include sequent systems for Ldm, Tstit and Xstit. All calculi presented possess essential structural…

We show that the Replacement Rule in the sequent calculus G3[mic]}^=, for first order languages with function symbols and equality, can be replaced by the simpler rule in which the transformed formula is not repeated in the premiss.

We describe a method for inverting Gentzen's cut-elimination in classical first-order logic. Our algorithm is based on first computign a compressed representation of the terms present in the cut-free proof and then cut-formulas that realize…

The key to the proof-theoretic study of a logic is a proof calculus with a subformula property. Many different proof formalisms have been introduced (e.g. sequent, nested sequent, labelled sequent formalisms) in order to provide such…

Development of a contraction-free BI sequent calculus, be it in the sense of G3i or G4i, has not been successful in literature. We address the open problem by presenting such a sequent system. In fact our calculus involves no structural…

Cut-elimination is the bedrock of proof theory. It is the algorithm that eliminates cuts from a sequent calculus proof that leads to cut-free calculi and applications. Cut-elimination applies to many logics irrespective of their semantics.…

We present a sequent calculus for the weak Grzegorczyk logic Go allowing non-well-founded proofs and obtain the cut-elimination theorem for it by constructing a continuous cut-elimination mapping acting on these proofs.

This paper presents a proof-theoretic analysis of the modal $\mu$-calculus. More precisely, we prove a syntactic cut-elimination for the non-wellfounded modal $\mu$-calculus, using methods from linear logic and its exponential modalities.…

We provide a new sequent calculus that enjoys syntactic cut-elimination and strongly terminating backward proof search for the intuitionistic Strong L\"ob logic $\sf{iSL}$, an intuitionistic modal logic with a provability interpretation. A…

Linear logic is a substructural logic proposed as a refinement of classical and intuitionistic logics, with applications in programming languages, game semantics, and quantum physics. We present a template for Gentzen-style linear logic…

We consider an extension of the modal logic of transitive closure K+ with some inifinitary derivations and present a sequent calculus for this extension, which allows non-well-founded proofs. For the given calculus, we obtain the…

Previous works by Gor\'e, Postniece and Tiu have provided sound and cut-free complete proof systems for modal logics extended with path axioms using the formalism of nested sequent. Our aim is to provide (i) a constructive cut-elimination…

Introduced in 2006 by Japaridze, cirquent calculus is a refinement of sequent calculus. The advent of cirquent calculus arose from the need for a deductive system with a more explicit ability to reason about resources. Unlike the more…
