Comparing Calculi for First-Order Infinite-Valued Łukasiewicz Logic and First-Order Rational Pavelka Logic

Alexander Sergeyevich Gerasimov · Logic and Logical Philosophy · 2022

We consider first-order infinite-valued Łukasiewicz logic and its expansion, first-order rational Pavelka logic RPL∀. From the viewpoint of provability, we compare several Gentzen-type hypersequent calculi for these logics with each other and with Hájek’s Hilbert-type calculi for the same logics. To facilitate comparing previously known calculi for the logics, we define two new analytic calculi for RPL∀ and include them in our comparison. The key part of the comparison is a density elimination proof that introduces no cuts for one of the hypersequent calculi considered.
