Linear Logic Using Negative Connectives

Authors: Dale Miller

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
In linear logic, the invertibility of a connective’s right-introduction rule is equivalent to the non-invertibility of its left-introduction rule. This duality motivates the concept of polarity: a connective is termed negative if its right-introduction rule is invertible, and positive otherwise. A two-sided sequent calculus for first-order linear logic featuring only negative connectives exhibits a compelling proof theory. Proof search in such a system unfolds through alternating phases of invertible (right-introduction) rules and non-invertible (left-introduction) rules, mirroring the processes of goal-reduction and backchaining, respectively. These phases are formalized here using the framework of multifocused proofs. We analyze linear logic by dissecting it into three sublogics: L₀ (first-order intuitionistic logic with conjunction, implication, and universal quantification); L₁ (an extension of L₀ incorporating linear implication which preserves its intuitionistic nature); and L₂ (which includes multiplicative falsity ⊥ and encompasses classical linear logic). It is worth noting that the single-conclusion restriction on sequents, a constraint imposed by Gentzen, is not a prerequisite for defining intuitionistic logic proofs within this framework, as it emerges naturally by restricting the formulas to those of L₀ and L₁. While multifocused proofs of L₂ sequents can accommodate parallel applications of left-introduction rules, proofs of L₀ and L₁ sequents cannot leverage such parallel rule applications. This notion of parallelism within proofs enables a novel approach to handling disjunctions and existential quantifiers in the natural deduction system for intuitionistic logic.

Convolution Products on Double Categories and Categorification of Rule Algebras

Authors: Nicolas Behr, Paul-André Melliès, and Noam Zeilberger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 260, 8th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2023)

Abstract
Motivated by compositional categorical rewriting theory, we introduce a convolution product over presheaves of double categories which generalizes the usual Day tensor product of presheaves of monoidal categories. One interesting aspect of the construction is that this convolution product is in general only oplax associative. For that reason, we identify several classes of double categories for which the convolution product is not just oplax associative, but fully associative. This includes in particular framed bicategories on the one hand, and double categories of compositional rewriting theories on the other. For the latter, we establish a formula which justifies the view that the convolution product categorifies the rule algebra product.

Implicit Automata in Typed λ-Calculi I: Aperiodicity in a Non-Commutative Logic

Authors: Lê Thành Dũng Nguyễn and Cécilia Pradic

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 168, 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2020)

Abstract
We give a characterization of star-free languages in a λ-calculus with support for non-commutative affine types (in the sense of linear logic), via the algebraic characterization of the former using aperiodic monoids. When the type system is made commutative, we show that we get regular languages instead. A key ingredient in our approach – that it shares with higher-order model checking – is the use of Church encodings for inputs and outputs. Our result is, to our knowledge, the first use of non-commutativity in implicit computational complexity.

A Sequent Calculus for a Semi-Associative Law

Authors: Noam Zeilberger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 84, 2nd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2017)

Abstract
We introduce a sequent calculus with a simple restriction of Lambek's product rules that precisely captures the classical Tamari order, i.e., the partial order on fully-bracketed words (equivalently, binary trees) induced by a semi-associative law (equivalently, tree rotation). We establish a focusing property for this sequent calculus (a strengthening of cut-elimination), which yields the following coherence theorem: every valid entailment in the Tamari order has exactly one focused derivation. One combinatorial application of this coherence theorem is a new proof of the Tutte-Chapoton formula for the number of intervals in the Tamari lattice Y_n. Elsewhere, we have also used the sequent calculus and the coherence theorem to build a surprising bijection between intervals of the Tamari order and a natural fragment of lambda calculus, consisting of the beta-normal planar lambda terms with no closed proper subterms.
