Equational Theories in CERES

Cut-elimination is the most important proof transformation in logic. Equality is a central paradigm in mathematics and plays a key role in automated deduction. Therefore its importance awakes the necessity of integrating equality into existing cut-elimination methods. In this paper we extend the resolution-based method of cut-elimination CERES to CERES-e by adding equality (and paramodulation t...

Equational theories of tropical semirings

This paper studies the equational theory of various exotic semirings presented in the literature. Exotic semirings are semirings whose underlying carrier set is some subset of the set of real numbers equipped with binary operations of minimum or maximum as sum, and addition as product. Two prime examples of such structures are the (max,+) semiring and the tropical semiring. It is shown that non...

Equational theories of profinite structures

In this paper we consider a general way of constructing profinite structures based on a given framework — a countable family of objects and a countable family of recognisers (e.g. formulas). The main theorem states: A subset of a family of recognisable sets is a lattice if and only if it is definable by a family of profinite equations. This result extends Theorem 5.2 from [GGEP08] expressed onl...
