Popis: In this paper we consider propositional calculi, which are finitely axiomatizable extensions of intuitionistic implicational propositional calculus together with the rules of modus ponens and substitution. We give a proof of undecidability of the following problem for these calculi: whether a given finite set of propositional formulas constitutes an adequate axiom system for a fixed propositional calculus. Moreover, we prove the same for the following restriction of this problem: whether a given finite set of theorems of a fixed propositional calculus derives all theorems of this calculus. The proof of these results is based on a reduction of the undecidable halting problem for the tag systems introduced by Post.
