Abstract

This paper studies decidable fragments of the predicate calculus. We will focus on the structure of Direct Predicate Calculus as defined by Ketonen and Weyrauch [1984] in the light of recent work by Girard [1987,1988] on Linear Logic. Several graph-theoretic results are used to prove correspondences between systems of Natural Deduction, Direct Predicate Logic and Linear Logic. In addition the implementation of a decision procedure for Direct Predicate Logic is sketched.
