Popis: It is well known that every proof net of a non-commutative version of MLL (multiplicative fragment of commutative linear logic) can be drawn as a plane Danos–Regnier graph (drawing) satisfying the switching condition of Danos–Regnier [3]. In this paper, we study the reverse direction; we introduce a system MNCLL which is logically equivalent to the multiplicative fragment of cyclic linear logic introduced by Yetter [9], and show that any plane Danos–Regnier graph drawing with one terminal edge satisfying the switching condition represents a unique non-commutative proof net (i.e., a proof net of MNCLL). In the course of proving this, we also give the characterization of the non-commutative proof nets by means of the notion of strong planarity, as well as the notion of a certain long-trip condition, called the stack-condition, of a Danos–Regnier graph, the latter of which is related to Abrusci's balanced long-trip condition [2].
