A Note on polynomial-size monotone proofs of the pigeon hole principle

We see that the version of the pigeon-hole principle in which every hole is forced to receive a pigeon (called onto) and the version in which every pigeon is mapped into exactly one hole (called functional) have polynomial-size proofs in the tree-like monotone sequent calculus. The proofs are surpri...

Sumario:We see that the version of the pigeon-hole principle in which every hole is forced to receive a pigeon (called onto) and the version in which every pigeon is mapped into exactly one hole (called functional) have polynomial-size proofs in the tree-like monotone sequent calculus. The proofs are surprisingly simple reductions to the non-monotone case
