Normal Form Theorems for Deductions and Normalization Processes in Some Higher Order Systems

Grigori Mints and Sergei Tupailo

Preface

This report contains four papers on cut-elimination-type results in second order logic and type theory. Joint paper of the authors establishes termination of a higher order extension of the epsilon substitution method. Next two papers by G. Mints provide cut-elimination theorems for simple type theory with extensionality and epsilon-symbol, and for the second order linear logic. The last paper contains a new proof of completeness of certain strategy for the first order logic which finitistically implies omega-consistency of arithmetic.
