We gather the following miscellaneous results in proof theory from the attic.1. 1. A provably well-founded elementary ordering admits an elementary order preserving map.2. 2. A simple proof of an elementary bound for cut elimination in propositional calculus and its applications to separation problem in relativized bounded arithmetic below S21.3. 3. Equivalents for Bar Induction, e.g., reflection schema for ω logic.4. 4. Direct computations in an equational calculus PRE and a decidability problem for provable inequations in PRE.5. 5. Intuitionistic fixed (...) point theories which are conservative extensions of HA.6. 6. Proof theoretic strengths of classical fixed points theories.7. 7. An equivalence between transfinite induction rule and iterated reflection schema over IΣn.8. 8. Derivation lengths of finite rewrite rules reducing under lexicographic path orders and multiply recursive functions.Each section can be read separately in principle. (shrink)

Dynamic ordinal analysis is ordinal analysis for weak arithmetics like fragments of bounded arithmetic. In this paper we will define dynamic ordinals – they will be sets of number theoretic functions measuring the amount of sΠ b 1(X) order induction available in a theory. We will compare order induction to successor induction over weak theories. We will compute dynamic ordinals of the bounded arithmetic theories sΣ b n (X)−L m IND for m=n and m=n+1, n≥0. Different dynamic ordinals lead to (...) separation. In this way we will obtain several separation results between these relativized theories. We will generalize our results to further languages extending the language of bounded arithmetic. (shrink)
