A Simple Reduction Calculus for Propositional Formulas

We present a simple yet powerful calculus, the reduction calculus, for propositional logic. The calculus is proved to be sound and complete. The calculus can be used in a helper algorithm for tautology and satisfiability test. We compare the reduction calculus to the well-known resolution calculus. We argue that resolution is in some sense as powerful as our simpler reduction calculus. Keywords: Mathematical logic, complexity theory, tautology, satisfiability, NP-complete problem.
