Abstract

The No Counterexample Interpretation (NCI) and other proof-theoretic techniques are applied to a proof of the Infinite Ramsey Theorem. A parametric form of Ramsey's theorem is obtained, that implies the Infinite, the Finite and the Paris-Harrington versions of Ramsey's Theorem. Applications of the proof theory of fragments of PA and of Linear Logic are suggested. This work was a preliminary experiment for the implementation of the NCI in Ketonen's Proof Checker EKL.
