Abstract

The constructive second-order proofs that we study are associated with inductive definitions on classes of finite s tructures , where each structure represents a database state. To an inductive definition of a predicate P on a class K corresponds a uniform proof of P i.e. a function which for each structure U defines a proof of P in U. These proofs use computations on sets and the finiteness of the structures in a fundamental way , and hence differ from fU"st-order proofs. We show the non-monotonicity of thi s calculus, and mention the constructivity of some of its intensional properties (time and space complexities) .
