PREFACE
The aim of this monograph is to show
that the methods used by Gent-
zen in his second consistency proof for number theory can be extended and used in order to exhibit properties of mathematical interest of certain intuitionistic systems of analysis. The monograph has its root in a paper
[8]
in which familiar properties of number theory
have been derived with the aid of Gentzen methods. An outline of the material contained in chapter IV has been presented at the Buffalo conference on intuitionism and proof theory
(1968) [9J '
while other
parts have been discussed in seminaries on mathematical logic at the university of Basel. A detailed introduction, containing a review of the content of the monograph,
is given at the beginning of chapter I.
The author would like to express his gratitude to the Swiss national foundations whose financial support made this work possible. Thanks are also due to the Freiweillige Akademische Gesellschaft Basel which supplied the major part of the typing costs.
