Revisiting average case complexity of multilevel syllogistic
arXiv:2606.16134
Abstract
We describe a Lean~4 formalization revisiting NYU Courant Technical Report TR1995-711 on the average-case complexity of Multilevel Syllogistic (MLS). The development encodes Reischuk--Schindelhauer average-case classes, an axiomatic MLS/EMLS semantics layer, a partial Ferro--Omodeo--Schwartz decision procedure with proved soundness and partial completeness on a membership-free fragment, serialization and step budgets, and conditional NP-average completeness and non-AvP hardness corollaries modulo explicitly documented structural axioms. Full Lean sources are inlined in the appendix modules.
