Non‐elementary speed‐ups in logic calculi

Abstract: In this paper we show some non-elementary speed-ups in logic calculi: Both a predicative second-order logic and a logic for fixed points of positive formulas are shown to have non-elementary speed-ups over first-order logic. Also it is shown that eliminating second-order cut formulas in second-order logic has to increase sizes of proofs super-exponentially, and the same in eliminating second-order epsilon axioms. These are proved by relying on results due to P. Pudlák.

“…By the completeness theorem, it is obvious that the resulting extension of T is conservative over T , though it has a non-elementary speed-up over T when T is a recursive theory containing the elementary recursive arithmetic EA, cf. [3]. When T has an axiom schema, e.g., T = PA, the Peano arithmetic with the complete induction schema, let us define the fixed point extension FiX(PA) to have the induction schema for any formula with the fixed point predicate Q.…”
