Abstract

We systematically identify a large class of substructural logics that satisfy the disjunction property (DP), and show that every consistent substructural logic with the DP is PSPACE-hard. Our results are obtained by using algebraic techniques. PSPACE-completeness for many of these logics is furthermore established by proof theoretic arguments.
