This paper explores the connection between two central results in the proof theory of classical logic: Gentzen's cut-elimination for the sequent calculus and Herbrands "fundamental theorem". Starting from Miller's expansion-tree-proofs, a…
We consider cut-elimination in the sequent calculus for classical first-order logic. It is well known that this system, in its most general form, is neither confluent nor strongly normalizing. In this work we take a coarser (and…
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…

Herbrand's Theorem is a fundamental result in mathematical logic which provides a reduction of first-order formulas satisfied by a universal class to formulas free of existential quantifiers. In this work, a simpler and self-contained…
Using Heijenoort's unpublished generalized rules of quantification, we discuss the proof of Herbrand's Fundamental Theorem in the form of Heijenoort's correction of Herbrand's "False Lemma" and present a didactic example. Although we are…
An inductive proof can be represented as a proof schema, i.e. as a parameterized sequence of proofs defined in a primitive recursive way. A corresponding cut-elimination method, called schematic CERES, can be used to analyze these proofs,…
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…
G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem is proved for Herbrand consistency of some arithmetical theories with bounded induction, by using a technique of logarithmic shrinking the witnesses of bounded formulas, due to Z. Adamowicz [Herbrand…
Herbrand's Fundamental Theorem provides a constructive characterization of derivability in first-order predicate logic by means of sentential logic. Sometimes it is simply called "Herbrand's Theorem", but the longer name is preferable as…
Cut-elimination theorems constitute one of the most important classes of theorems of proof theory. Since Gentzen's proof of the cut-elimination theorem for the system $\mathbf{LK}$, several other proofs have been proposed. Even though the…
Hilbert's epsilon calculus is an extension of elementary or predicate calculus by a term-forming operator $\varepsilon$ and initial formulas involving such terms. The fundamental results about the epsilon calculus are so-called epsilon…
Herbrand's theorem plays an important role both in proof theory and in computer science. Given a Herbrand skeleton, which is basically a number specifying the count of disjunctions of the matrix, we would like to get a computable bound on…
This document serves as a companion to the paper of the same title, wherein we introduce a Gentzen-style sequent calculus for HXPathD. It provides full technical details and proofs from the main paper. As such, it is intended as a reference…
We present a structural representation of the Herbrand content of LK-proofs with cuts of complexity prenex Sigma-2/Pi-2. The representation takes the form of a typed non-deterministic tree grammar of order 2 which generates a finite…
Recent developments in the categorical foundations of universal algebra have given fresh impetus to an understanding of the lambda calculus coming from categorical logic: an interpretation is a semi-closed algebraic theory. Scott's…
This Paper investigate sequent calculi for certain weak subintuitionistic logics. We establish that weakening and contraction are height-preserving admissible for each of these calculi, and we provide a syntactic proof for the admissibility…
For substructural logics with contraction or weakening admitting cut-free sequent calculi, proof search was analyzed using well-quasi-orders on $\mathbb{N}^d$ (Dickson's lemma), yielding Ackermannian upper bounds via controlled bad-sequence…
We introduce a sequent calculus for the propositional team logic with both the split disjunction and the inquisitive disjunction consisting of a Gentzen-style system (G3-like) for classical propositional logic together with two…
