15-317 Constructive Logic
Lecture 12: Propositional Theorem Proving
In this lecture we further refine the restricted
sequent calculus to a so-called contraction-free
formulation, where the premises of all rules are smaller
than the conclusion. This allows for a simple decision
procedure which can be made practical by considering which
rules can be applied asynchronously.
