Lecture notes originating in a course given at the U. of Amsterdam, Spring 1991, explore in depth linear logic and its implications, for readers with some sophistication in logic. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
The initial sections of this text deal with syntactical matters such as logical formalism, cut-elimination, and the embedding of intuitionistic logic in classical linear logic. Concluding chapters focus on proofnets for the multiplicative fragment and the algorithmic interpretation of cut-elimination in proofnets.
