[email protected] Abstract. Usual normalization by evaluation techniques have a strong relationship with completeness with respect to Kripke structures. But Kripke structures is not the only semantics that ts intuitionistic logic: Heyting algebras are a more algebraic alternative. In this paper, we focus on this less investigated area: how completeness with respect to Heyting algebras generate a normalization algorithm for a natural deduction calculus, in the propositional fragment. Our main contributions is that we prove in a direct way completeness of natural deduction with respect to Heyting algebras, that the underlying algo- rithm natively deals with disjunction, that we formalized those proofs in Coq, and give an extracted algorithm.
