Abstract
In this work we consider the additive and multiplicative linear logic (AMLL) with an automated deduction point of view. Considering this recent logical framework and its possible extensions or applications to logic programming, programming with proofs or parallelism and concurrency, we propose a new algorithm that constructs a proof for a given sequent in AMLL and its termination, correctness and completeness proofs. It can be viewed as a direct (or constructive) proof of the decidability of AMLL and as a first step to consider linear logic as a basis for an extended programming logic. The restriction (and adaptation) of this result to multiplicative linear logic (MLL) gives an adequate algorithm for automatic proof net construction.
