Syllabus
  • Essentials of proof theory in propositional and first-order predicate logic.
  • Technical notions: trees, König lemma, formulae analysis, abstract truth-tables, clausal form.
  • Proofs in the propositional logic: system G, soundness, completeness, proof structure, compactness, cut elimination; resolution, refinements of the resolution, Horn clauses, SLD-resolution.
