Extract

S. A. Kripke has given [6] a very simple notion of model for intuitionistic predicate logic. Kripke's models consist of a quasi-ordering (C, ≤) and a function ψ which assigns to every cC a model of classical logic such that, if cc′, ψ(c′) is greater or equal to ψ(c). Grzegorczyk [3] described a class of models which is still simpler: he takes, for every ψ(c), the same universe. Grzegorczyk's semantics is not adequate for intuitionistic logic, since the formula

where х is not free in α. holds in his models but is not intuitionistically provable. It is a conjecture of D. Klemke that intuitionistic predicate calculus, strengthened by the axiom scheme (D), is correct and complete with respect to Grzegorczyk's semantics. This has been proved independently by D. Klemke [5] by a Henkinlike method and me; another proof has been given by D. Gabbay [1]. Our proof uses lattice-theoretical methods.
