Combining Intuitionistic and Classical Propositional Logic: Gentzenization and Craig Interpolation.Masanobu Toyooka &Katsuhiko Sano -2024 -Studia Logica 112 (5):1091-1121.detailsThis paper studies a combined system of intuitionistic and classical propositional logic from proof-theoretic viewpoints. Based on the semantic treatment of Humberstone (J Philos Log 8:171–196, 1979) and del Cerro and Herzig (Frontiers of combining systems: FroCoS, Springer, 1996), a sequent calculus \(\textsf{G}(\textbf{C}+\textbf{J})\) is proposed. An approximate idea of obtaining \(\textsf{G}(\textbf{C}+\textbf{J})\) is adding rules for classical implication on top of the intuitionistic multi-succedent sequent calculus by Maehara (Nagoya Math J 7:45–64, 1954). However, in the semantic treatment, some formulas do not (...) satisfy heredity, which leads to the necessity of a restriction on the right rule for intuitionistic implication to keep the soundness of the calculus. The calculus \(\textsf{G}(\textbf{C}+\textbf{J})\) enjoys cut elimination and Craig interpolation, whose detailed proofs are described in this paper. Cut elimination enables us to show the decidability of this combination both directly and syntactically. This paper also employs a canonical model argument to establish the strong completeness of Hilbert system \(\mathbf {C+J}\) proposed by del Cerro and Herzig (Frontiers of combining systems: FroCoS, Springer, 1996).

Semantic Incompleteness of Hilbert system for a Combination of Classical and Intuitionistic Propositional Logic.Masanobu Toyooka &Katsuhiko Sano -2023 -Australasian Journal of Logic 20 (3):397-411.detailsThis paper shows Hilbert system (C+J)-, given by del Cerro and Herzig (1996) is semantically incomplete. This system is proposed as a proof theory for Kripke semantics for a combination of intuitionistic and classical propositional logic, which is obtained by adding the natural semantic clause of classical implication into intuitionistic Kripke semantics. Although Hilbert system (C+J)- contains intuitionistic modus ponens as a rule, it does not contain classical modus ponens. This paper gives an argument ensuring that the system (C+J)- is (...) semantically incomplete because of the absence of classical modus ponens. Our method is based on the logic of paradox, which is a paraconsistent logic proposed by Priest (1979). (shrink)
