A Schütte-Tait style cut-elimination proof for firstorder Gödel logic

Abstract

Abstract. We present a Schütte-Tait style cut-elimination proof for the hypersequent calculus HIF for first-order Gödel logic. This proof allows to bound the depth of the resulting cut-free derivation by 4 |d| ρ(d) , where |d| is the depth of the original derivation and ρ(d) the maximal complexity of cut-formulas in it. We compare this Schütte-Tait style cut-elimination proof to a Gentzen style proof.
