Abstract

Herbelin presented (at CSL'94) an explicit substitution calculus with a sequent calculus as a type system, in which reduction steps correspond to cut-elimination steps. The calculus, extended with some rules for substitution propagation, simulates β-reduction of ordinary λcalculus. In this paper we present a proof of strong normalization for the typable terms of the calculus. The proof is a direct one in the sense that it does not depend on the result of strong normalization for the simply typed A-calculus, unlike an earlier proof by Dyckhoff and Urban.
