Reverse mathematics and well-ordering principles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The paper is concerned with generally Pi^1_2 sentences of the form 'if X is well ordered then f(X) is well ordered', where f is a standard proof theoretic function from ordinals to ordinals.

Anti-Realism and Infinitary Proofs

open access: yesAnálisis Filosófico, 2012
In the discussion about Yablo’s Paradox, a debated topic is the status of infinitary proofs. It is usually considered that, although a realist could (with some effort) accept them, an anti-realist could not do it at all.

Infinitary $\lambda$-Calculi from a Linear Perspective (Long Version) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We introduce a linear infinitary $\lambda$-calculus, called $\ell\Lambda_{\infty}$, in which two exponential modalities are available, the first one being the usual, finitary one, the other being the only construct interpreted coinductively. The obtained

Cut-elimination for the mu-calculus with one variable [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We establish syntactic cut-elimination for the one-variable fragment of the modal mu-calculus. Our method is based on a recent cut-elimination technique by Mints that makes use of Buchholz' Omega-rule.Comment: In Proceedings FICS 2012, arXiv:1202 ...

Ernst Zermelo's Project of Infinitary Logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper is a summary of a more comprehensive work Infinitarna Logika Ernsta Zermela (The Infinitary Logic of Ernst Zermelo) being currently under preparation for the research grant KBN 2H01A 00725 Metody nieskończonościowe w teorii definicji ...

Sequent systems for PLTL

open access: yesLietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, 2013
We consider three sequent calculi for propositional linear temporal logic (PLTL) which allow us to formalize the properties of operator “always”.  The main new results presented in the paper are: (1) introduction of the calculus with looping axioms; (2 ...

Infinite time Turing machines and an application to the hierarchy of equivalence relations on the reals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We describe the basic theory of infinite time Turing machines and some recent developments, including the infinite time degree theory, infinite time complexity theory, and infinite time computable model theory. We focus particularly on the application of

Infinitary Combinatory Reduction Systems: Confluence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study confluence in the setting of higher-order infinitary rewriting, in particular for infinitary Combinatory Reduction Systems (iCRSs). We prove that fully-extended, orthogonal iCRSs are confluent modulo identification of hypercollapsing subterms ...

Laws and Reasons Why

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

Informal proof, formal proof, formalism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Increases in the use of automated theorem-provers have renewed focus on the relationship between the informal proofs normally found in mathematical research and fully formalised derivations.
