On the Intrinsic Redundancy in Huge Natural Deduction proofs II: Analysing $M_{\imply}$ Super-Polynomial Proofs
Abstract
This article precisely defines huge proofs within the system of Natural Deduction for the Minimal implicational propositional logic \mil. This is what we call an unlimited family of super-polynomial proofs. We consider huge families of expanded normal form mapped proofs, a device to explicitly help to count the E-parts of a normal proof in an adequate way. Thus, we show that for almost all members of a super-polynomial family there at least one sub-proof or derivation of each of them that is repeated super-polynomially many times. This last property we call super-polynomial redundancy. Almost all, precisely means that there is a size of the conclusion of proofs that every proof with conclusion bigger than this size and that is huge is highly redundant too. This result points out to a refinement of compression methods previously presented and an alternative and simpler proof that CoNP=NP.
