The proof-theoretic strength of Constructive Second-order set theories
Abstract
In this paper, we define constructive analogues of second-order set theories, which we will call IGB, CGB, IKM, and CKM. Each of them can be viewed as IZF- and CZF-analogues of G\"odel-Bernays set theory GB and Kelley-Morse set theory KM. We also provide their proof-theoretic strengths in terms of classical theories, and we especially prove that CKM and full Second-Order Arithmetic have the same proof-theoretic strength.
