The goal of this paper is to study the complexity of the set of admissible rules of the implication-negation fragment of intuitionistic logic IPC. Surprisingly perhaps, although this set strictly contains the set of derivable rules (the fragment is not structurally complete), it is also PSPACE-complete. This differs from the situation in the full logic IPC where the admissible rules form a co-NEXP-complete set.
