Abstract: We give arithmetical proofs of the strong normalization of two symmetric lambda-calculi corresponding to classical logic. The first one is the -calculus introduced by Curien & Herbelin. It is derived via the Curry-Howard correspondence from Gentzen's classical sequent calculus LK in order to have a symmetry on one side between "program" and "context" and on other side between "call-by-name" and "call-by-value". The second one is the symmetric lambdamu-calculus. It is the lambdamu-calculus introduced by Parigot in which the reduction rule mu, which is the symmetric of mu, is added. These results were already known but the previous proofs use candidates of reducibility where the interpretation of a type is defined as the fix point of some increasing operator and thus, are highly non arithmetical.
