| Jun 21, 2014 at 17:42 | comment | added | Raphael | Consider this question: Having read either proof, (why) do I want yo read the other? If the answer is anything but "no", apparently both have merit on their own. Also, note that people publish new proofs for old results all the time: sometimes, the journey is the destination. | |

| Jun 20, 2014 at 18:41 | comment | added | surui | It's hard to answer the question because we didn't read your paper. We don't even know the abstract of the paper - what is the intention of the paper? to layout this theorem? and others? what's the length of the two proofs? we don't know if putting the two proofs on the same paper will make the reader get what the reader was prepared to get after the abstract would be read. assuming you include the two proofs, would you write in the abstract that you provide two proofs for your main theorem? is it important? anyhow, I think you should seek advice from someone who can read the paper. | |
