Abstract

An approximate Herbrand theorem is proved and used to establish Skolemization for first-order 茂戮驴ukasiewicz logic. Proof systems are then defined in the framework of hypersequents. In particular, extending a hypersequent calculus for propositional 茂戮驴ukasiewicz logic with usual Gentzen quantifier rules gives a calculus that is complete with respect to interpretations in safe MV-algebras, but lacks cut-elimination. Adding an infinitary rule to the cut-free version of this calculus gives a system that is complete for the full logic. Finally, a cut-free calculus with finitary rules is obtained for the one-variable fragment by relaxing the eigenvariable condition for quantifier rules.
