Abstract

Following the idea of Linear Proofs presented in [4] we introduce the Direct Logic [14] with exponentials (DLE). The logic combines Direct Logic with the exponentials of Linear Logic. For a well-chosen subclass of formulas of this logic we provide a matrix-characterization which can be used as a foundation for proof-search methods based on the connection calculus.
