A bounded arithmetic AID for Frege systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper we introduce a system AID (Alogtime Inductive Definitions) of bounded arithmetic. The main feature of AID is to allow a form of inductive definitions, which was extracted from Buss' propositional consistency proof of Frege systems F. We show that AID proves the soundness of F, and conversely any Sigma^b_0-theorem in AID yields boolean sentences of which F has polysize proofs. Further we define Sigma^b_1-faithful interpretations between AID + Sigma b^_0 - CA and a quantified theory QALV of an equational system ALV in P. Clote. Hence ALV also proves the soundness of F.
