Lower bounds for natural proof systems

View publication

Abstract

Two decidable logical theories are presented, one complete for deterministic polynomial time, one complete for polynomial space. Both have natural proof systems. A lower space bound of n/log(n) is shown for the proof system for the PTIME complete theory and a lower length bound of 2cn/log(n) is shown for the proof system for the PSPACE complete theory.
