A Logical Calculus for Polynomial-Time Realizability

by J.N. Crossley, G.L. Mathai, and R.A.G. Seely

Abstract:
A logical calculus, not unlike Gentzen's sequent calculus for intuitionistic logic, is described which is sound for polynomial-time realizability as defined by Crossley and Remmel. The sequent calculus admits cut-elimination, thus giving a decision procedure for the propositional fragment.
