Under consideration for publication in Math. Struct. in Comp. Science A System of Interaction and Structure V: The Exponentials and Splitting Alessio Guglielmi1† and Lutz Straßburger2‡ 1Department of Computer Science University of Bath Bath BA2 7AY United Kingdom http: // alessio. guglielmi. name/ 2INRIA Saclay–Ile-de-France and Ecole Polytechnique Laboratoire d'Informatique (LIX) Rue de Saclay 91128 Palaiseau Cedex France http: // www. lix. polytechnique. fr/ ~ lutz/ Received 22 January 2004; Revised 3 December 2010 System NEL is the mixed commutative/non-commutative linear logic BV augmented with linear logic's exponentials, or, equivalently, it is MELL augmented with the non-commutative self-dual connective seq. NEL is presented in deep inference, because no Gentzen formalism can express it in such a way that the cut rule is admissible. Other, recent works, show that system NEL is Turing-complete, it is able to directly express process algebra sequential composition and it faithfully models causal quantum evolution. In this paper, we show cut elimination for NEL, based on a technique that we call splitting. The splitting theorem shows how and to what extent we can recover a sequent-like structure in NEL proofs. Together with a ‘decomposition' theorem, proved in the previous paper of this series, splitting yields a cut-elimination procedure for NEL.
