Double-Negation Translation: Five Ws The theory : ◮ automatic theorem proving: classical logic ◮ other logics existing: need for translations ◮ in particular: proof-assistants ◮ related to the grounds: ⋆ cut-elimination for sequent calculus ⋆ extensions to Deduction Modulo The practice : ◮ a shallow encoding of classical into intuitionistic logic ◮ Zenon modulo’s backend for Dedukti ◮ existing translations: Kolmogorov’s (1925), Gentzen-Gödel’s (1933), Kuroda’s (1951), Krivine’s (1990), · · · O.

Double-Negation Translation: Five Ws Objective , minimization : ◮ turns more formulæ into themselves; ◮ shifts a classical proof into an intuitionistic proof of the same formula. Today : ◮ first-order (classical) logic ◮ the principle of excluded-middle ◮ intuitionistic logic ◮ double-negation translations ◮ minimization ◮ if you’re still alive: ⋆ extension to Deduction modulo ⋆ semantic Double-Negation translations ⋆ cut elimination O.
