Title
A cut-free and invariant-free sequent calculus for PLTL
Abstract
Sequent calculi usually provide a general deductive setting that uniformly embeds other proof-theoretical approaches, such as tableaux methods, resolution techniques, goal-directed proofs, etc. Unfortunately, in temporal logic, existing sequent calculi make use of a kind of inference rules that prevent the effective mechanization of temporal deduction in the general setting. In particular, temporal sequent calculi either need some form of cut, or they make use of invariants, or they include infinitary rules. This is the case even for the simplest kind of temporal logic, propositional linear temporal logic (PLTL). In this paper, we provide a complete finitary sequent calculus for PLTL, called FC, that not only is cut-free but also invariant-free. In particular, we introduce new rules which provide a new style of temporal deduction. We give a detailed proof of completeness.
