Abstract: We define a notion of cut and a proof reduction process for a class of theories, including all equational theories and a first-order formulation of higher-order logic. Proofs normalize for all equational theories. We show that the proof of the normalization theorem for the usual formulation of higher-order logic can be adapted to prove normalization for its first-order formulation. The "hard part" of the proof, that cannot be carried out in higher-order logic itself (the normalization of the... (Update)
