Abstract
Recently, linear Logic has been used to specify sequent calculus proof systems in such a way that the proof search in linear logic can yield proof search in the specified logic. Furthermore, the meta-theory of linear logic can be used to draw conclusions about the specified sequent calculus. For example, derivability of one proof system from another can be decided by a simple procedure that is implemented via bounded logic programming-style search. Also, simple and decidable conditions on the linear logic presentation of inference rules, called homogeneous and coherence, can be used to infer that the initial rules can be restricted to atoms and that cuts can be eliminated. In the present paper we introduce Llinda, a logical framework based on linear logic augmented with inference rules for definition (fixed points) and induction. In this way, the above properties can be proved entirely inside the framework. To further illustrate the power of Llinda, we extend the definition of coherence and provide a new, semi-automated proof of cut-elimination for Girard’s Logic of Unicity (LU).
