It is well-known that the size of propositional classical proofs can be huge. Proof theoretical studies discovered exponential gaps between normal or cut-free proofs and their respective non-normal proofs. The task of automatic theorem proving is, on the other hand, usually based on the construction of normal, cut-free or only-atomic-cuts proofs, since this procedure produces less alternative choices. There are familiar tautologies such that the cut-free proof is huge while the non-cut-free is small. The aim of this work is to reduce the weight of proposicional deductions. In this sense we present two methods. The fi first, namely vertical method, uses the extension axioms. We present a method that generates a such extension axiom. The second, namely horizontal method, adds suitable (propositional) unifi fications modulo variable substitutions.We also present a method that generates a such unifi fication during the proving process. The proofs produced correspond in a certain way to non normal proofs (non cut-free proofs).
