Abstract

We study the question of when a given set of derivable rules in some basic analytic propositional sequent calculus forms itself an analytic calculus. First, a general syntactic criterion for analyticity in the family of pure sequent calculi is presented. Next, given a basic calculus admitting this criterion, we provide a method to construct weaker pure calculi by collecting simple derivable rules of the basic calculus. The obtained calculi are analytic-by-construction. While the criterion and the method are completely syntactic, our proofs are semantic, based on interpretation of sequent calculi via non-deterministic valuation functions. In particular, this method captures calculi for a wide variety of paraconsistent logics, as well as some extensions of Gurevich and Neeman's primal infon logic.
