Cut Admissibility by Saturation
Résumé
Deduction modulo is a framework in which theories are integrated into
proof systems such as natural deduction or sequent calculus by
presenting them using rewriting rules. When only terms are rewritten,
cut admissibility in those systems is equivalent to the confluence of
the rewriting system, as shown by Dowek, RTA 2003, LNCS 2706. This is
no longer true when considering rewriting rules involving
propositions. In this paper, we show that, in the same way that it is
possible to recover confluence using Knuth-Bendix completion, one can
regain cut admissibility in the general case using standard
saturation techniques. This work relies on a view of proposition
rewriting rules as oriented clauses, like term rewriting rules can be
seen as oriented equations. This also leads us to introduce an
extension of deduction modulo with *conditional* term rewriting
rules.
