How to lie without being (easily) convicted and the lengths of proofs in propositional calculus
[chapter]
1995
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We shall describe two general methods for proving lower bounds on the lengths of proofs in propositional calculus and give examples of such lower bounds. ...
One of the methods is based on interactive proofs where one player is claiming that he has a falsifying assignment for a tautology and the second player is trying to convict him of a lie. ...
What is he saying is a blatant lie for you, but the judge, and especially the jury, need a proof without any doubts. ...

Duplication of directed graphs and exponential blow up of proofs
1999
Annals of Pure and Applied Logic
Proofs are two-dimensional objects and di erences in the behavior of their cut elimination can often be accounted for by di erences in their two-dimensional structure. ...
Our purpose is to determine geometrical conditions on the graphs of proofs to explain the expansion of the size of proofs after cut elimination. ...
It is the Gentzen Cut Elimination Theorem [12] which says that any proof in the sequent calculus with cuts can always be transformed in some e ective way into a proof without cuts. ...

The Beyträge at 200: Bolzano's quiet revolution in the philosophy of mathematics
2013
Journal for the History of Analytical Philosophy
In the decade following the publication of the Contributions, he made a series of mathematical breakthroughs, discovering how epsilontics could be used to provide a foundation for the infinitesimal calculus ...
So, for example, from the propositions: The point is the simple in space, it is the boundary of a line and itself no part of a line, it has nei-ther extension in length, breadth, nor depth, etc., anyone ...
Kant limits its use to phenomena, but, as Bolzano remarks, he tacitly assumes it in claiming things in themselves to be the ground of phenomena. ...

In exploring some of the aspects of construction of a simple quantum-mechanical system in a mathematical universe different from that represented by set theory, we show that more thought and a better appreciation ...
It turns out that it is precisely the universal validity of the law of excluded middle in CL that blocks any attempts to formulate calculus without limits. ...

A lambda calculus for real analysis
2010
Journal of Logic and Analysis
Every expression in the calculus denotes both a continuous function and a program, and the reasoning looks remarkably like a sanitised form of that in classical topology. ...
Expressing topology in terms of continuous functions rather than sets of points leads to treatments of open and closed concepts that are very closely lattice-(or de Morgan-) dual, without the double negations ...
We need these in order to be able to reason entirely within the calculus itself, without referring back to the model. ...

Lower bounds for bounded depth Frege proofs via Pudlák-Buss games

ACM Transactions on Computational Logic
We present a simple proof of the bounded-depth Frege proof lower bounds of Pitassi et al. [1993] and Krajíček et al. [1995] for the pigeonhole principle. ...
This makes the lower bound of Pitassi et al. [1993] and Krajíček et al. [1995] accessible to the general computational complexity audience. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank the anonymous referees for pointing an error in the earlier presentation of the article. ...

They have all been considered "elementary" at some stage in the history of mathematics education, and they are all still taught at school level in some places today. ...
For the germ of the idea that led to this book, credit should go to Vagn Lundsgaard Hansen and Jeremy Gray, who commissioned my article on Klein, and later suggested that I write a book of a similar kind ...
