Propositional team logic is the propositional analog to first-order team logic.Non-classical atoms of dependence, independence, inclusion, exclusion and anonymity can redken shades eq 07m driftwood be expressed in it, but for all atoms except dependence only exponential translations are known.In this paper, we systematically compare their succinctness in the existential fragment, where the splitting disjunction only occurs positively, and in full propositional team logic with unrestricted negation.

By introducing a variant of the Ehrenfeucht-Fra"{i}ss'{e} game called formula size game into team logic, we obtain exponential lower bounds in the existential cent dyyni fragment for all atoms.In the full fragment, we present polynomial upper bounds also for all atoms.
