Title
How Hard Is Positive Quantification?
Abstract
We show that the constructive predicate logic with positive (covariant) quantification is hard for doubly exponential universal time, that is, for the class co-2-Nexptime. Our approach is to represent proof-search as computation of an alternating automaton. The memory of the automaton is structured in a way that strictly corresponds to scopes of the binders used in the constructed proof. This provides an application of automata-theoretic techniques in proof theory.
