In 1973, Parikh proved a speed-up theorem conjectured by G¨odel 37 years before: there exist arithmetical formulæ that are provable in first order arithmetic, but whose shorter ...
In this paper we give a new proof of the characterization of the closed fragment of the provability logic of Heyting's Arithmetic. We also provide a characterization of the c...
We investigate the development of terms during cut-elimination in first-order logic and Peano arithmetic for proofs of existential formulas. The form of witness terms in cut-free p...
We study definability of languages in arithmetic and the free monoid by bounded versions of fixed-point and transitive-closure logics. In particular we give logical characterisat...
