15-317 Constructive Logic
Lecture 15: Metaprogramming in Prolog

In this lecture we write a decision procedure for intuitionistic propositional logic based on a contraction-free sequent calculus, exploiting inversion. The implementation will be in Prolog, using a logic programming language to implement logic, which is sometimes called metaprogramming.
