In this paper we show that an intuitionistic theory for fixed points is conservative over the Heyting arithmetic with respect to a certain class of formulas. This extends partly the result of mine. The proof is inspired by the quick…
Goodman's theorem (1976) states that intuitionistic finite-type arithmetic plus the axiom of choice plus the axiom of relativized dependent choice is conservative over Heyting arithmetic. The same result applies to the extensional variant.…
In this paper we show that the intuitionistic theory for finitely many iterations of strictly positive operators is a conservative extension of the Heyting arithmetic. The proof is inspired by the quick cut-elimination due to G. Mints. This…
In this note, we investigate iterations of consistency, local and uniform reflection over $\mathbf{HA}$ (Heyting Arithmetic). In the case of uniform reflection, we give a new proof of Dragalin's extension of Feferman's completeness theorem…
In this paper we show that the intuitionistic fixed point theory FiX^{i}(X) over set theories T is a conservative extension of T if T can manipulate finite sequences and has the full foundation schema.
Our paper is the first study of what one might call "reverse mathematics of explicit fixpoints". We study two methods of constructing such fixpoints for formulas whose principal connective is the intuitionistic Lewis arrow. Our main…
This paper studies relative unification and admissibility in the intuitionistic logic. We generalize results of [Ghilardi, 1999; Iemhoff, 2001a] and prove them relative in NNIL(par) propositions, the class of propositions with No Nested…
We systematically study conservation theorems on theories of semi-classical arithmetic, which lie in-between classical arithmetic $\mathsf{PA}$ and intuitionistic arithmetic $\mathsf{HA}$. Using a generalized negative translation, we first…
In this paper we present a proof of Goodman's Theorem, a classical result in the metamathematics of constructivism, which states that the addition of the axiom of choice to Heyting arithmetic in finite types does not increase the collection…
We investigate how much type theory is able to prove about the natural numbers. A classical result in this area shows that dependent type theory without any universes is conservative over Heyting Arithmetic (HA). We build on this result by…
We determine the strictly positive fragment $\mathsf{QPL}^+(\mathsf{HA})$ of the quantified provability logic $\mathsf{QPL}(\mathsf{HA})$ of Heyting Arithmetic. We show that $\mathsf{QPL}^+(\mathsf{HA})$ is decidable and that it coincides…
It is a consequence of existing literature that least and greatest fixed-points of monotone polynomials on Heyting algebras-that is, the alge- braic models of the Intuitionistic Propositional Calculus-always exist, even when these algebras…
In this paper, we develop an Isabelle/HOL library of order-theoretic fixed-point theorems. We keep our formalization as general as possible: we reprove several well-known results about complete orders, often with only antisymmetry or…

We apply to the semantics of Arithmetic the idea of ``finite approximation'' used to provide computational interpretations of Herbrand's Theorem, and we interpret classical proofs as constructive proofs (with constructive rules for $\vee,…
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 present new criteria on the existence of fixed points that combine some monotonicity assumptions with the classical fixed point index theory. As an illustrative application, we use our theoretical results to prove the existence of…
We present a cut elimination argument that witnesses the conservativity of the compositional axioms for truth (without the extended induction axiom) over any theory interpreting a weak subsystem of arithmetic. In doing so we also fix a…
In this paper we consider the problem of configuring partial predicate abstraction that combines two techniques that have been effective in analyzing infinite-state systems: predicate abstraction and fixpoint approximations. A fundamental…
This article is concerned with classifying the provably total set-functions of Kripke-Platek set theory, KP, and Power Kripke-Platek set theory, KP(P), as well as proving several (partial) conservativity results. The main technical tool…
