Towards a Combinatorial Proof Theory

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The main part of a classical combinatorial proof is a skew fibration, which precisely captures the behavior of weakening and contraction. Relaxing the presence of these two rules leads to certain substructural logics and substructural proof theory. In this paper we investigate what happens if we replace the skew fibration by other kinds of graph homomorphism. This leads us to new logics and proof systems that we call combinatorial.
