Aims and Scope

This is a workshop on Gentzen-style proof systems, their generalizations, and extensions. Since the introduction of the sequent calculus and natural deduction by Gerhard Gentzen in the 1930s, a wide spectrum of formalisms have been used to construct proof systems for logics resisting a simpler description, including hypersequents, deep inference systems, display calculi, labelled deductive systems, tableaux, and proof nets, to name just a few. The aim of this workshop is to explore and compare the motivations for and relative merits of these different approaches. Potential topics for talks include:

  • Cut-elimination and its applications, e.g., decidability, complexity results, interpolation, amalgamation, completeness proofs, computational interpretations, etc.
  • Scope, limitations, interrelationships, and philosophical aspects of various formalisms.

A broader aim of the workshop is to build a bridge between researchers into theoretical aspects of structural proof theory and the more application-oriented goals of the proof theory community, particularly in cases where the methods, such as constructing analytic systems, are shared.

Anna Zamansky, University of Haifa
