Abstract

The set of relevantly balanced formulas is introduced in implicational fragment of BCK-logic. It is shown that any relevantly balanced formula has unique normal form proof. Such formulas are defined by the ‘relevance relation’ between type variables in a formula. The set of balanced formulas (or equivalently one-two-formulas) is included in the relevantly balanced formulas. The uniqueness of normal form proofs is known for balanced formulas as the coherence theorem. Thus the result extends the theorem with respect to implicational formulas. The set of relevantly balanced formulas is characterized as the set of irrelevant substitution instances of principal type-schemes of BCK-λ-terms.
