The Proof Complexity of Linear Algebra
We introduce three formal theories of increasing strength for linear algebra in order to study the complexity of the concepts needed to prove the basic theorems of the subject. We...

Feasible Proofs of Matrix Properties with Csanky's Algorithm
We show that Csanky’s fast parallel algorithm for computing the characteristic polynomial of a matrix can be formalized in the logical theory LAP, and can be proved correct in LA...

Algebraic Proofs over Noncommutative Formulas
We study possible formulations of algebraic propositional proof systems operating with noncommutative formulas. We observe that a simple formulation gives rise to systems at least ...

The Algebra of Equality Proofs
Proofs of equalities may be built from assumptions using proof rules for reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. Reflexivity is an axiom proving x=x for any x; symmetry is a 1-p...

The proof theoretic strength of the Steinitz exchange theorem
We show that the logical theory QLA proves the Cayley–Hamilton theorem from the Steinitz exchange theorem together with a strengthening of the linear independence principle. Sin...
