Abstract We constructively prove completeness for intuitionistic first-order logic, iFOL, showing that a formula is provable in iFOL if and only if it is uniformly valid in intuitionistic evidence semantics as defined in intuitionistic type theory extended with an intersection operator. Our completeness proof provides an effective procedure that converts any uniform evidence into a formal iFOL proof. Uniform evidence can involve arbitrary concepts from type theory such as ordinals, topological…

Intuitionistic Completeness of First-Order Logic – mPC Case
We constructively prove in type theory the completeness of the minimal Propositional Calculus, showing that a formula is provable in mPC if and only if it is uniformly valid in constructive type…
Intuitionistic ancestral logic
TLDR
It is shown that provable formulas in iAL are uniformly realizable, thus iAL is sound with respect to constructive type theory and serves as a natural programming logic for proving properties of program schemes.
Completeness Theorems for First-Order Logic Analysed in Constructive Type Theory
TLDR
A reusable Coq library for first-order logic containing all results covered in this paper is contributed and analysed the assumptions necessary for particular syntax fragments and discussed non-standard semantics admitting assumption-free completeness.
A nominal exploration of intuitionism
TLDR
This papers extends the Nuprl proof assistant with named exceptions and handlers, as well as a nominal fresh operator, to prove a version of Brouwer's Continuity Principle for numbers and provides a simpler proof of a weaker version of this principle that only uses diverging terms.
Virtual Evidence: A Constructive Semantics for Classical Logics
TLDR
This article presents a computational semantics for classical logic using constructive type theory, and a new axiom creating virtual evidence fully retains the constructive meaning of the logical operators in classical contexts.
Intuitionistic Ancestral Logic as a Dependently Typed Abstract Programming Language
TLDR
A careful examination of the various applications of logic in computer science reveals that FOL is insufficient for most of them, and that its most crucial shortcoming is its inability to provide inductive definitions in general, and the notion of the transitive closure in particular.
CS 6180 Lecture 26 – Automated Reasoning and Ultra-Intuitionism
This lecture will briefly consider two topics. The main one is the relationship between automated reasoning, an AI topic, and constructive type theory. The other topic is a brief mention of a radical…
Higher order functions and Brouwer’s thesis
TLDR
It is shown that Brouwer’s famous “mental constructions” of barhood constitute an invariant form of these dialogue trees in which queries to the oracle are made maximally and in order.
Validating Brouwer's continuity principle for numbers using named exceptions
TLDR
This paper extends the Nuprl proof assistant with named exceptions and handlers, as well as a nominal fresh operator, and proves a version of Brouwer's continuity principle for numbers and provides a simpler proof of this principle that only uses diverging terms.
Proof Assistants and the Dynamic Nature of Formal Theories
TLDR
Both theory exploration and proof exchange illustrate the dynamic nature of applied formal theories built using modern proof assistants, dispel the false impression that formal theories are rigid and brittle artifacts that become less relevant over time in a fast moving eld like computer science.

A variant of its proof yields a generalization of the Gödel-Kreisel Theorem linking weak completeness for intuitionistic predicate logic to Markov's Principle, which is corollaries of a single theorem.
An Abstract Notion of Realizability for Which Intuitionistic Predicate Calculus is Complete

This tutorial talk presents a provability realization of Int and S4 that solves both the problem of finding an adequate formalization of the provability semantics and establishing the completeness of the intuitionistic logic Int.

TLDR
A class of models is presented, in the form of continuation monads polymorphic for first-order individuals, that is sound and complete for minimal intuitionistic predicate logic, and a $\beta$-normalisation-by-evaluation program for simply typed lambda calculus with sum types.
Some Intuitions Behind Realizability Semantics for Constructive Logic: Tableaux and Läuchli Countermodels
TLDR
It is argued in some detail that, in spite of a certain inherent inexactness of the analogy, every intuitively constructive truth is valid in Lauchli semantics, and therefore the Heyting Calculus is powerful enough to prove all constructive truths.

To be able to settle the converse question: “if A is intuitively true, then ⊦ IPC A ”, one should make the notion of intuitionistic truth more easily amenable to mathematical treatment.
A framework for defining logics
TLDR
The Edinburgh Logical Framework provides a means to define (or present) logics through a general treatment of syntax, rules, and proofs by means of a typed λ-calculus with dependent types, whereby each judgment is identified with the type of its proofs.
