Abstract: Proof search in linear logic is known to be difficult: the provability of propositional linear logic formulas is undecidable. Even without the modalities, multiplicative-additive fragment of propositional linear logic, mall, is known to be pspace-complete, and the pure multiplicative fragment, mll, is known to be np-complete. However, this still leaves open the possibility that there might be proof search heuristics (perhaps involving randomization) that often lead to a proof if there is... (Update)

.... [6, 1, 2, 15, 19, 17, 9] Connections between linear logic and probabilistic games considered in complexity theory are investigated in [24, 27, 25]. In particular, linear logic proof search may also be seen as a game. This game, the linear logic proof game, is played on linear...

...Our results have analogs for the np complete extended multiplicative fragment mll where opponent is absent. This is discussed in [24]. 2 Stochastic quantified boolean formulas and games We consider boolean matrices in conjunctive normal form. Prenex boolean formulas are...
