Proof Normalisation in a Logic Identifying Isomorphic Propositions
We define a fragment of propositional logic where isomorphic propositions,
such as and , or and
are identified. We define System I, a
proof language for this logic, and prove its normalisation and consistency
Infinitary Combinatory Reduction Systems: Confluence
We study confluence in the setting of higher-order infinitary rewriting, in
particular for infinitary Combinatory Reduction Systems (iCRSs). We prove that
fully-extended, orthogonal iCRSs are confluent modulo identification of
hypercollapsing subterms. As a corollary, we obtain that fully-extended,
orthogonal iCRSs have the normal form property and the unique normal form
property (with respect to reduction). We also show that, unlike the case in
first-order infinitary rewriting, almost non-collapsing iCRSs are not
necessarily confluent
Modularity of Convergence and Strong Convergence in Infinitary Rewriting
Properties of Term Rewriting Systems are called modular iff they are
preserved under (and reflected by) disjoint union, i.e. when combining two Term
Rewriting Systems with disjoint signatures. Convergence is the property of
Infinitary Term Rewriting Systems that all reduction sequences converge to a
limit. Strong Convergence requires in addition that redex positions in a
reduction sequence move arbitrarily deep. In this paper it is shown that both
Convergence and Strong Convergence are modular properties of non-collapsing
Infinitary Term Rewriting Systems, provided (for convergence) that the term
metrics are granular. This generalises known modularity results beyond metric

Proof Normalisation in a Logic Identifying Isomorphic Propositions
We define a fragment of propositional logic where isomorphic propositions, such as A wedge B and B wedge A, or A ==> (B wedge C) and (A ==> B) wedge (A ==> C) are identified. We define System I, a proof language for this logic, and prove its normalisation and consistency
