Abstract: . In this paper we present a mechanism to define names for
proof-witnesses of formulae and thus to use Gentzen's cut-rule in logic
programming. We consider a program to be a set of logical formulae
together with a list of such definitions. Occurrences of the defined names
guide the proof-search by indicating when an instance of the cut-rule
should be attempted. By using the cut-rule there are proofs that can be
made dramatically shorter. We explain how this idea of using the cut-rule
can be... (Update)
