dc.description.abstractNormalisation and cut elimination are methods used to perform combinatoral analysis on the structure of formal proofs, while translations between proof systems are used to analyse and interpret the meaning of proofs. In this thesis I will introduce two systems and their respective normal forms and demonstrate how to perform translations between the systems which will preserve these normal forms. This thesis also serves as an introduction to proof theory, In the first chapters the systems of natural deduction, sequent calculus and their normal forms will be introduced from scratch. I will also demonstrate an error with the cut elimination proof in [1] and give a correction, this serves as an alternative to the correction given in [2].

dc.subjectIn my thesis I give an introduction to three different proof systems: Natural deduction, Sequent Calculus and Hilbert style systems and prove their equivalence. In the last part of this thesis I will introduce normal forms for sequent calculus and Natural deduction and demonstrate a correspondence between these normal forms.
