Frege's propositional calculus
|
The following theorems will aim to find the remaining nine axioms of standard PC within the "theorem-space" of Frege's PC, showing that the theory of standard PC is contained within the theory of Frege's PC. (A theory, also called here, for figurative purposes, a "theorem-space", is a set of theorems that are a subset of a universal set of well-formed formulas. The theorems are linked to each other in a directed manner by inference rules, forming a sort of dendritic network. At the roots of the theorem-space are found the axioms, which "generate" the theorem-space much like a generating set generates a group.)

Kirby–Paris theorem
|
In mathematical logic, Goodstein's theorem is a statement about the natural numbers, proved by Reuben Goodstein in 1944, which states that every Goodstein sequence eventually terminates at 0. Laurence Kirby and Jeff Paris showed that it is unprovable in Peano arithmetic (but it can be proven in stronger systems, such as second-order arithmetic). This was the third example of a true statement that is unprovable in Peano arithmetic, after the examples provided by Gödel's incompleteness theorem and Gerhard Gentzen's 1943 direct proof of the unprovability of ε0-induction in Peano arithmetic. The Paris–Harrington theorem gave another example.

Kirby–Paris theorem
|
Kirby and Paris introduced a graph-theoretic hydra game with behavior similar to that of Goodstein sequences: the "Hydra" (named for the mythological multi-headed Hydra of Lerna) is a rooted tree, and a move consists of cutting off one of its "heads" (a branch of the tree), to which the hydra responds by growing a finite number of new heads according to certain rules. Kirby and Paris proved that the Hydra will eventually be killed, regardless of the strategy that Hercules uses to chop off its heads, though this may take a very long time. Just like for Goodstein sequences, Kirby and Paris showed that it cannot be proven in Peano arithmetic alone.

Gödel's β function
|
In mathematical logic, Gödel's β function is a function used to permit quantification over finite sequences of natural numbers in formal theories of arithmetic. The β function is used, in particular, in showing that the class of arithmetically definable functions is closed under primitive recursion, and therefore includes all primitive recursive functions. The β function was introduced without the name in the proof of the first of Gödel's incompleteness theorems (Gödel 1931). The β function lemma given below is an essential step of that proof. Gödel gave the β function its name in (Gödel 1934).

Lindstrom's theorem
|
In mathematical logic, Lindström's theorem (named after Swedish logician Per Lindström, who published it in 1969) states that first-order logic is the strongest logic (satisfying certain conditions, e.g. closure under classical negation) having both the (countable) compactness property and the (downward) Löwenheim–Skolem property.Lindström's theorem is perhaps the best known result of what later became known as abstract model theory, the basic notion of which is an abstract logic; the more general notion of an institution was later introduced, which advances from a set-theoretical notion of model to a category-theoretical one. Lindström had previously obtained a similar result in studying first-order logics extended with Lindström quantifiers.Lindström's theorem has been extended to various other systems of logic, in particular modal logics by Johan van Benthem and Sebastian Enqvist.

Löb's Theorem
|
In mathematical logic, Löb's theorem states that in Peano arithmetic (PA) (or any formal system including PA), for any formula P, if it is provable in PA that "if P is provable in PA then P is true", then P is provable in PA. If Prov(P) means that the formula P is provable, we may express this more formally as If P A ⊢ P r o v ( P ) → P {\displaystyle {\mathit {PA}}\vdash {\mathrm {Prov} (P)\rightarrow P}} then P A ⊢ P {\displaystyle {\mathit {PA}}\vdash P} .An immediate corollary (the contrapositive) of Löb's theorem is that, if P is not provable in PA, then "if P is provable in PA, then P is true" is not provable in PA. For example, "If 1 + 1 = 3 {\displaystyle 1+1=3} is provable in PA, then 1 + 1 = 3 {\displaystyle 1+1=3} " is not provable in PA.Löb's theorem is named for Martin Hugo Löb, who formulated it in 1955. It is related to Curry's paradox.

Typed set theory
|
In mathematical logic, New Foundations (NF) is an axiomatic set theory, conceived by Willard Van Orman Quine as a simplification of the theory of types of Principia Mathematica. Quine first proposed NF in a 1937 article titled "New Foundations for Mathematical Logic"; hence the name. Much of this entry discusses NF with urelements (NFU), an important variant of NF due to Jensen and clarified by Holmes. In 1940 and in a revision in 1951, Quine introduced an extension of NF sometimes called "Mathematical Logic" or "ML", that included proper classes as well as sets.

Typed set theory
|
New Foundations has a universal set, so it is a non-well-founded set theory. That is to say, it is an axiomatic set theory that allows infinite descending chains of membership, such as ... xn ∈ xn-1 ∈ ... ∈ x2 ∈ x1. It avoids Russell's paradox by permitting only stratifiable formulas to be defined using the axiom schema of comprehension. For instance, x ∈ y is a stratifiable formula, but x ∈ x is not. New Foundations is closely related to Russellian unramified typed set theory (TST), a streamlined version of the theory of types of Principia Mathematica with a linear hierarchy of types.

Rosser's trick
|
In mathematical logic, Rosser's trick is a method for proving Gödel's incompleteness theorems without the assumption that the theory being considered is ω-consistent (Smorynski 1977, p. 840; Mendelson 1977, p. 160). This method was introduced by J. Barkley Rosser in 1936, as an improvement of Gödel's original proof of the incompleteness theorems that was published in 1931. While Gödel's original proof uses a sentence that says (informally) "This sentence is not provable", Rosser's trick uses a formula that says "If this sentence is provable, there is a shorter proof of its negation".

Russell paradox
|
In mathematical logic, Russell's paradox (also known as Russell's antinomy) is a set-theoretic paradox published by the British philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell in 1901. Russell's paradox shows that every set theory that contains an unrestricted comprehension principle leads to contradictions. The paradox had already been discovered independently in 1899 by the German mathematician Ernst Zermelo. However, Zermelo did not publish the idea, which remained known only to David Hilbert, Edmund Husserl, and other academics at the University of Göttingen.

Russell paradox
|
At the end of the 1890s, Georg Cantor – considered the founder of modern set theory – had already realized that his theory would lead to a contradiction, as he told Hilbert and Richard Dedekind by letter.According to the unrestricted comprehension principle, for any sufficiently well-defined property, there is the set of all and only the objects that have that property. Let R be the set of all sets that are not members of themselves. (This set is sometimes called "the Russell set".)

In symbols: Let R = { x ∣ x ∉ x } , then R ∈ R ⟺ R ∉ R {\displaystyle {\text{Let }}R=\{x\mid x\not \in x\}{\text{, then }}R\in R\iff R\not \in R} Russell also showed that a version of the paradox could be derived in the axiomatic system constructed by the German philosopher and mathematician Gottlob Frege, hence undermining Frege's attempt to reduce mathematics to logic and questioning the logicist programme. Two influential ways of avoiding the paradox were both proposed in 1908: Russell's own type theory and the Zermelo set theory. In particular, Zermelo's axioms restricted the unlimited comprehension principle.

Russell paradox
|
With the additional contributions of Abraham Fraenkel, Zermelo set theory developed into the now-standard Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (commonly known as ZFC when including the axiom of choice). The main difference between Russell's and Zermelo's solution to the paradox is that Zermelo modified the axioms of set theory while maintaining a standard logical language, while Russell modified the logical language itself. The language of ZFC, with the help of Thoralf Skolem, turned out to be that of first-order logic.

Skolem arithmetic

Unlike Peano arithmetic, Skolem arithmetic is a decidable theory. This means it is possible to effectively determine, for any sentence in the language of Skolem arithmetic, whether that sentence is provable from the axioms of Skolem arithmetic. The asymptotic running-time computational complexity of this decision problem is triply exponential.

Tarski's high school algebra problem

In mathematical logic, Tarski's high school algebra problem was a question posed by Alfred Tarski. It asks whether there are identities involving addition, multiplication, and exponentiation over the positive integers that cannot be proved using eleven axioms about these operations that are taught in high-school-level mathematics. The question was solved in 1980 by Alex Wilkie, who showed that such unprovable identities do exist.

Boolean-valued model

In mathematical logic, a Boolean-valued model is a generalization of the ordinary Tarskian notion of structure from model theory. In a Boolean-valued model, the truth values of propositions are not limited to "true" and "false", but instead take values in some fixed complete Boolean algebra. Boolean-valued models were introduced by Dana Scott, Robert M. Solovay, and Petr Vopěnka in the 1960s in order to help understand Paul Cohen's method of forcing. They are also related to Heyting algebra semantics in intuitionistic logic.

Gödel encoding
|
In mathematical logic, a Gödel numbering is a function that assigns to each symbol and well-formed formula of some formal language a unique natural number, called its Gödel number. The concept was developed by Kurt Gödel for the proof of his incompleteness theorems. (Gödel 1931) A Gödel numbering can be interpreted as an encoding in which a number is assigned to each symbol of a mathematical notation, after which a sequence of natural numbers can then represent a sequence of symbols. These sequences of natural numbers can again be represented by single natural numbers, facilitating their manipulation in formal theories of arithmetic. Since the publishing of Gödel's paper in 1931, the term "Gödel numbering" or "Gödel code" has been used to refer to more general assignments of natural numbers to mathematical objects.

Herbrand interpretation
|
In mathematical logic, a Herbrand interpretation is an interpretation in which all constants and function symbols are assigned very simple meanings. Specifically, every constant is interpreted as itself, and every function symbol is interpreted as the function that applies it. The interpretation also defines predicate symbols as denoting a subset of the relevant Herbrand base, effectively specifying which ground atoms are true in the interpretation. This allows the symbols in a set of clauses to be interpreted in a purely syntactic way, separated from any real instantiation.

Herbrand interpretation
|
The importance of Herbrand interpretations is that, if any interpretation satisfies a given set of clauses S then there is a Herbrand interpretation that satisfies them. Moreover, Herbrand's theorem states that if S is unsatisfiable then there is a finite unsatisfiable set of ground instances from the Herbrand universe defined by S. Since this set is finite, its unsatisfiability can be verified in finite time. However, there may be an infinite number of such sets to check. It is named after Jacques Herbrand.

Hintikka set

In mathematical logic, a Hintikka set is a set of logical formulas whose elements satisfy the following properties: An atom or its conjugate can appear in the set but not both, If a formula in the set has a main operator that is of "conjuctive-type", then its two operands appear in the set, If a formula in the set has a main operator that is of "disjuntive-type", then at least one of its two operands appears in the set.The exact meaning of "conjuctive-type" and "disjunctive-type" is defined by the method of semantic tableaux. Hintikka sets arise when attempting to prove completeness of propositional logic using semantic tableaux. They are named after Jaakko Hintikka.

Conservative extension
|
In mathematical logic, a conservative extension is a supertheory of a theory which is often convenient for proving theorems, but proves no new theorems about the language of the original theory. Similarly, a non-conservative extension is a supertheory which is not conservative, and can prove more theorems than the original. More formally stated, a theory T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} is a (proof theoretic) conservative extension of a theory T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} if every theorem of T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} is a theorem of T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} , and any theorem of T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} in the language of T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} is already a theorem of T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} . More generally, if Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } is a set of formulas in the common language of T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} and T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} , then T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} is Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } -conservative over T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} if every formula from Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } provable in T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} is also provable in T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} .

Conservative extension
|
Note that a conservative extension of a consistent theory is consistent. If it were not, then by the principle of explosion, every formula in the language of T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} would be a theorem of T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} , so every formula in the language of T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} would be a theorem of T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} , so T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} would not be consistent. Hence, conservative extensions do not bear the risk of introducing new inconsistencies.

Deduction theorem
|
In mathematical logic, a deduction theorem is a metatheorem that justifies doing conditional proofs from a hypothesis in systems that do not explicitly axiomatize that hypothesis, i.e. to prove an implication A → B, it is sufficient to assume A as an hypothesis and then proceed to derive B. Deduction theorems exist for both propositional logic and first-order logic. The deduction theorem is an important tool in Hilbert-style deduction systems because it permits one to write more comprehensible and usually much shorter proofs than would be possible without it. In certain other formal proof systems the same conveniency is provided by an explicit inference rule; for example natural deduction calls it implication introduction. In more detail, the propositional logic deduction theorem states that if a formula B {\displaystyle B} is deducible from a set of assumptions Δ ∪ { A } {\displaystyle \Delta \cup \{A\}} then the implication A → B {\displaystyle A\to B} is deducible from Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } ; in symbols, Δ ∪ { A } ⊢ B {\displaystyle \Delta \cup \{A\}\vdash B} implies Δ ⊢ A → B {\displaystyle \Delta \vdash A\to B} .

Deduction theorem
|
In the special case where Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } is the empty set, the deduction theorem claim can be more compactly written as: A ⊢ B {\displaystyle A\vdash B} implies ⊢ A → B {\displaystyle \vdash A\to B} . The deduction theorem for predicate logic is similar, but comes with some extra constraints (that would for example be satisfied if A {\displaystyle A} is a closed formula). In general a deduction theorem needs to take into account all logical details of the theory under consideration, so each logical system technically needs its own deduction theorem, although the differences are usually minor.

The deduction theorem holds for all first-order theories with the usual deductive systems for first-order logic. However, there are first-order systems in which new inference rules are added for which the deduction theorem fails. Most notably, the deduction theorem fails to hold in Birkhoff–von Neumann quantum logic, because the linear subspaces of a Hilbert space form a non-distributive lattice.

Decidability of first-order theories of the real numbers
|
In mathematical logic, a first-order language of the real numbers is the set of all well-formed sentences of first-order logic that involve universal and existential quantifiers and logical combinations of equalities and inequalities of expressions over real variables. The corresponding first-order theory is the set of sentences that are actually true of the real numbers. There are several different such theories, with different expressive power, depending on the primitive operations that are allowed to be used in the expression. A fundamental question in the study of these theories is whether they are decidable: that is, is there an algorithm that can take a sentence as input and produce as output an answer "yes" or "no" to the question of whether the sentence is true in the theory.

Decidability of first-order theories of the real numbers

The theory of real closed fields is the theory in which the primitive operations are multiplication and addition; this implies that, in this theory, the only numbers that can be defined are the real algebraic numbers. As proven by Tarski, this theory is decidable; see Tarski–Seidenberg theorem and Quantifier elimination. Current implementations of decision procedures for the theory of real closed fields are often based on quantifier elimination by cylindrical algebraic decomposition.

Tarski's exponential function problem concerns the extension of this theory to another primitive operation, the exponential function. It is an open problem whether this theory is decidable, but if Schanuel's conjecture holds then the decidability of this theory would follow. In contrast, the extension of the theory of real closed fields with the sine function is undecidable since this allows encoding of the undecidable theory of integers (see Richardson's theorem).

Still, one can handle the undecidable case with functions such as sine by using algorithms that do not necessarily terminate always. In particular, one can design algorithms that are only required to terminate for input formulas that are robust, that is, formulas whose satisfiability does not change if the formula is slightly perturbed. Alternatively, it is also possible to use purely heuristic approaches.

Formal calculation
|
In mathematical logic, a formal calculation, or formal operation, is a calculation that is systematic but without a rigorous justification. It involves manipulating symbols in an expression using a generic substitution without proving that the necessary conditions hold. Essentially, it involves the form of an expression without considering its underlying meaning. This reasoning can either serve as positive evidence that some statement is true when it is difficult or unnecessary to provide proof or as an inspiration for the creation of new (completely rigorous) definitions. However, this interpretation of the term formal is not universally accepted, and some consider it to mean quite the opposite: a completely rigorous argument, as in formal mathematical logic.

Two formal systems F S {\displaystyle {\mathcal {FS}}} and F S ′ {\displaystyle {\mathcal {FS'}}} may have all the same theorems and yet differ in some significant proof-theoretic way (a formula A may be a syntactic consequence of a formula B in one but not another for instance).

Mathematical theorem

In mathematical logic, a formal theory is a set of sentences within a formal language. A sentence is a well-formed formula with no free variables. A sentence that is a member of a theory is one of its theorems, and the theory is the set of its theorems. Usually a theory is understood to be closed under the relation of logical consequence.

Some accounts define a theory to be closed under the semantic consequence relation ( ⊨ {\displaystyle \models } ), while others define it to be closed under the syntactic consequence, or derivability relation ( ⊢ {\displaystyle \vdash } ).

Mathematical theorem

The closure of the empty set under the relation of logical consequence yields the set that contains just those sentences that are the theorems of the deductive system. In the broad sense in which the term is used within logic, a theorem does not have to be true, since the theory that contains it may be unsound relative to a given semantics, or relative to the standard interpretation of the underlying language. A theory that is inconsistent has all sentences as theorems.

It is also important in model theory, which is concerned with the relationship between formal theories and structures that are able to provide a semantics for them through interpretation. Although theorems may be uninterpreted sentences, in practice mathematicians are more interested in the meanings of the sentences, i.e. in the propositions they express.

Negation normal form
|
In mathematical logic, a formula is in negation normal form (NNF) if the negation operator ( ¬ {\displaystyle \lnot } , not) is only applied to variables and the only other allowed Boolean operators are conjunction ( ∧ {\displaystyle \land } , and) and disjunction ( ∨ {\displaystyle \lor } , or). Negation normal form is not a canonical form: for example, a ∧ ( b ∨ ¬ c ) {\displaystyle a\land (b\lor \lnot c)} and ( a ∧ b ) ∨ ( a ∧ ¬ c ) {\displaystyle (a\land b)\lor (a\land \lnot c)} are equivalent, and are both in negation normal form. In classical logic and many modal logics, every formula can be brought into this form by replacing implications and equivalences by their definitions, using De Morgan's laws to push negation inwards, and eliminating double negations. This process can be represented using the following rewrite rules (Handbook of Automated Reasoning 1, p.

Transformation into negation normal form can increase the size of a formula only linearly: the number of occurrences of atomic formulas remains the same, the total number of occurrences of ∧ {\displaystyle \land } and ∨ {\displaystyle \lor } is unchanged, and the number of occurrences of ¬ {\displaystyle \lnot } in the normal form is bounded by the length of the original formula. A formula in negation normal form can be put into the stronger conjunctive normal form or disjunctive normal form by applying distributivity.

Negation normal form

Repeated application of distributivity may exponentially increase the size of a formula. In the classical propositional logic, transformation to negation normal form does not impact computational properties: the satisfiability problem continues to be NP-complete, and the validity problem continues to be co-NP-complete. For formulas in conjunctive normal form, the validity problem is solvable in polynomial time, and for formulas in disjunctive normal form, the satisfiability problem is solvable in polynomial time.

Shoenfield absoluteness theorem
|
In mathematical logic, a formula is said to be absolute to some class of structures (also called models), if it has the same truth value in each of the members of that class. One can also speak of absoluteness of a formula between two structures, if it is absolute to some class which contains both of them.. Theorems about absoluteness typically establish relationships between the absoluteness of formulas and their syntactic form. There are two weaker forms of partial absoluteness. If the truth of a formula in each substructure N of a structure M follows from its truth in M, the formula is downward absolute.

If the truth of a formula in a structure N implies its truth in each structure M extending N, the formula is upward absolute. Issues of absoluteness are particularly important in set theory and model theory, fields where multiple structures are considered simultaneously. In model theory, several basic results and definitions are motivated by absoluteness.

In set theory, the issue of which properties of sets are absolute is well studied. The Shoenfield absoluteness theorem, due to Joseph Shoenfield (1961), establishes the absoluteness of a large class of formulas between a model of set theory and its constructible universe, with important methodological consequences. The absoluteness of large cardinal axioms is also studied, with positive and negative results known.

Satisfiability problem
|
In mathematical logic, a formula is satisfiable if it is true under some assignment of values to its variables. For example, the formula x + 3 = y {\displaystyle x+3=y} is satisfiable because it is true when x = 3 {\displaystyle x=3} and y = 6 {\displaystyle y=6} , while the formula x + 1 = x {\displaystyle x+1=x} is not satisfiable over the integers. The dual concept to satisfiability is validity; a formula is valid if every assignment of values to its variables makes the formula true. For example, x + 3 = 3 + x {\displaystyle x+3=3+x} is valid over the integers, but x + 3 = y {\displaystyle x+3=y} is not.

Satisfiability problem
|
Formally, satisfiability is studied with respect to a fixed logic defining the syntax of allowed symbols, such as first-order logic, second-order logic or propositional logic. Rather than being syntactic, however, satisfiability is a semantic property because it relates to the meaning of the symbols, for example, the meaning of + {\displaystyle +} in a formula such as x + 1 = x {\displaystyle x+1=x} . Formally, we define an interpretation (or model) to be an assignment of values to the variables and an assignment of meaning to all other non-logical symbols, and a formula is said to be satisfiable if there is some interpretation which makes it true.

While this allows non-standard interpretations of symbols such as + {\displaystyle +} , one can restrict their meaning by providing additional axioms.

Satisfiability problem
|
Satisfiability and validity are defined for a single formula, but can be generalized to an arbitrary theory or set of formulas: a theory is satisfiable if at least one interpretation makes every formula in the theory true, and valid if every formula is true in every interpretation. For example, theories of arithmetic such as Peano arithmetic are satisfiable because they are true in the natural numbers.

Satisfiability problem

This concept is closely related to the consistency of a theory, and in fact is equivalent to consistency for first-order logic, a result known as Gödel's completeness theorem. The negation of satisfiability is unsatisfiability, and the negation of validity is invalidity. These four concepts are related to each other in a manner exactly analogous to Aristotle's square of opposition.

Satisfiability problem
|
The problem of determining whether a formula in propositional logic is satisfiable is decidable, and is known as the Boolean satisfiability problem, or SAT. In general, the problem of determining whether a sentence of first-order logic is satisfiable is not decidable. In universal algebra, equational theory, and automated theorem proving, the methods of term rewriting, congruence closure and unification are used to attempt to decide satisfiability. Whether a particular theory is decidable or not depends whether the theory is variable-free and on other conditions.

Skolem function
|
In mathematical logic, a formula of first-order logic is in Skolem normal form if it is in prenex normal form with only universal first-order quantifiers. Every first-order formula may be converted into Skolem normal form while not changing its satisfiability via a process called Skolemization (sometimes spelled Skolemnization). The resulting formula is not necessarily equivalent to the original one, but is equisatisfiable with it: it is satisfiable if and only if the original one is satisfiable.Reduction to Skolem normal form is a method for removing existential quantifiers from formal logic statements, often performed as the first step in an automated theorem prover.

Fragment (logic)
|
In mathematical logic, a fragment of a logical language or theory is a subset of this logical language obtained by imposing syntactical restrictions on the language. Hence, the well-formed formulae of the fragment are a subset of those in the original logic. However, the semantics of the formulae in the fragment and in the logic coincide, and any formula of the fragment can be expressed in the original logic. The computational complexity of tasks such as satisfiability or model checking for the logical fragment can be no higher than the same tasks in the original logic, as there is a reduction from the first problem to the other.

An important problem in computational logic is to determine fragments of well-known logics such as first-order logic that are as expressive as possible yet are decidable or more strongly have low computational complexity.

Ground expression

In mathematical logic, a ground term of a formal system is a term that does not contain any variables. Similarly, a ground formula is a formula that does not contain any variables. In first-order logic with identity with constant symbols a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} , the sentence Q ( a ) ∨ P ( b ) {\displaystyle Q(a)\lor P(b)} is a ground formula.

Judgment (mathematical logic)
|
In mathematical logic, a judgment (or judgement) or assertion is a statement or enunciation in a metalanguage. For example, typical judgments in first-order logic would be that a string is a well-formed formula, or that a proposition is true. Similarly, a judgment may assert the occurrence of a free variable in an expression of the object language, or the provability of a proposition. In general, a judgment may be any inductively definable assertion in the metatheory.

Judgment (mathematical logic)

The same cannot be done with the other two deductions systems: as context is changed in some of their rules of inferences, they cannot be formalized so that hypothetical judgments could be avoided—not even if we want to use them just for proving derivability of tautologies. This basic diversity among the various calculi allows such difference, that the same basic thought (e.g. deduction theorem) must be proven as a metatheorem in Hilbert-style deduction system, while it can be declared explicitly as a rule of inference in natural deduction. In type theory, some analogous notions are used as in mathematical logic (giving rise to connections between the two fields, e.g. Curry–Howard correspondence). The abstraction in the notion of judgment in mathematical logic can be exploited also in foundation of type theory as well.

Boolean literal
|
In mathematical logic, a literal is an atomic formula (also known as an atom or prime formula) or its negation. The definition mostly appears in proof theory (of classical logic), e.g. in conjunctive normal form and the method of resolution. Literals can be divided into two types: A positive literal is just an atom (e.g., x {\displaystyle x} ). A negative literal is the negation of an atom (e.g., ¬ x {\displaystyle \lnot x} ).The polarity of a literal is positive or negative depending on whether it is a positive or negative literal.

Boolean literal
|
Double negation elimination occurs in classical logics but not in intuitionistic logic. In the context of a formula in the conjunctive normal form, a literal is pure if the literal's complement does not appear in the formula. In Boolean functions, each separate occurrence of a variable, either in inverse or uncomplemented form, is a literal. For example, if A {\displaystyle A} , B {\displaystyle B} and C {\displaystyle C} are variables then the expression A ¯ B C {\displaystyle {\bar {A}}BC} contains three literals and the expression A ¯ C + B ¯ C ¯ {\displaystyle {\bar {A}}C+{\bar {B}}{\bar {C}}} contains four literals. However, the expression A ¯ C + B ¯ C {\displaystyle {\bar {A}}C+{\bar {B}}C} would also be said to contain four literals, because although two of the literals are identical ( C {\displaystyle C} appears twice) these qualify as two separate occurrences.

Finite model property
|
In mathematical logic, a logic L has the finite model property (fmp for short) if any non-theorem of L is falsified by some finite model of L. Another way of putting this is to say that L has the fmp if for every formula A of L, A is an L-theorem if and only if A is a theorem of the theory of finite models of L. If L is finitely axiomatizable (and has a recursive set of inference rules) and has the fmp, then it is decidable. However, the result does not hold if L is merely recursively axiomatizable. Even if there are only finitely many finite models to choose from (up to isomorphism) there is still the problem of checking whether the underlying frames of such models validate the logic, and this may not be decidable when the logic is not finitely axiomatizable, even when it is recursively axiomatizable. (Note that a logic is recursively enumerable if and only if it is recursively axiomatizable, a result known as Craig's theorem.)

Soundness
|
In mathematical logic, a logical system has the soundness property if every formula that can be proved in the system is logically valid with respect to the semantics of the system. In most cases, this comes down to its rules having the property of preserving truth. The converse of soundness is known as completeness. A logical system with syntactic entailment ⊢ {\displaystyle \vdash } and semantic entailment ⊨ {\displaystyle \models } is sound if for any sequence A 1 , A 2 , .

Soundness
|
Most proofs of soundness are trivial. For example, in an axiomatic system, proof of soundness amounts to verifying the validity of the axioms and that the rules of inference preserve validity (or the weaker property, truth). If the system allows Hilbert-style deduction, it requires only verifying the validity of the axioms and one rule of inference, namely modus ponens. (and sometimes substitution) Soundness properties come in two main varieties: weak and strong soundness, of which the former is a restricted form of the latter.

Epistemic structural realism
|
Points in space and the real numbers under Euclidean geometry are another structure, with relations such as "the distance between point P1 and point P2 is real number R1"; equivalently, the "distance" relation includes the element (P1, P2, R1). Other structures include the Riemann space of general relativity and the Hilbert space of quantum mechanics. The entities in a mathematical structure do not have any independent existence outside their participation in relations. Two descriptions of a structure are considered equivalent, and to be describing the same underlying structure, if there is a correspondence between the descriptions that preserves all relations.Many proponents of structural realism formally or informally ascribe "properties" to the abstract objects; some argue that such properties, while they can perhaps be "shoehorned" into the formalism of relations, should instead be considered distinct from relations.

Sentence (mathematical logic)
|
In mathematical logic, a sentence (or closed formula) of a predicate logic is a Boolean-valued well-formed formula with no free variables. A sentence can be viewed as expressing a proposition, something that must be true or false. The restriction of having no free variables is needed to make sure that sentences can have concrete, fixed truth values: as the free variables of a (general) formula can range over several values, the truth value of such a formula may vary. Sentences without any logical connectives or quantifiers in them are known as atomic sentences; by analogy to atomic formula.

In mathematical logic, a sequent is a very general kind of conditional assertion.

A sequent is understood to mean that if all of the antecedent conditions are true, then at least one of the consequent formulas is true. This style of conditional assertion is almost always associated with the conceptual framework of sequent calculus.

Deductive closure
|
In mathematical logic, a set T {\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}} of logical formulae is deductively closed if it contains every formula φ {\displaystyle \varphi } that can be logically deduced from T {\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}} , formally: if T ⊢ φ {\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}\vdash \varphi } always implies φ ∈ T {\displaystyle \varphi \in {\mathcal {T}}} . If T {\displaystyle T} is a set of formulae, the deductive closure of T {\displaystyle T} is its smallest superset that is deductively closed. The deductive closure of a theory T {\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}} is often denoted Ded ( T ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {Ded} ({\mathcal {T}})} or Th ( T ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {Th} ({\mathcal {T}})} . This is a special case of the more general mathematical concept of closure — in particular, the deductive closure of T {\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}} is exactly the closure of T {\displaystyle {\mathcal {T}}} with respect to the operation of logical consequence ( ⊢ {\displaystyle \vdash } ).

In mathematical logic, a tautology (from Greek: ταυτολογία) is a formula or assertion that is true in every possible interpretation. An example is "x=y or x≠y". Similarly, "either the ball is green, or the ball is not green" is always true, regardless of the colour of the ball. The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein first applied the term to redundancies of propositional logic in 1921, borrowing from rhetoric, where a tautology is a repetitive statement.

A key property of tautologies in propositional logic is that an effective method exists for testing whether a given formula is always satisfied (equiv., whether its negation is unsatisfiable). The definition of tautology can be extended to sentences in predicate logic, which may contain quantifiers—a feature absent from sentences of propositional logic.

Indeed, in propositional logic, there is no distinction between a tautology and a logically valid formula. In the context of predicate logic, many authors define a tautology to be a sentence that can be obtained by taking a tautology of propositional logic, and uniformly replacing each propositional variable by a first-order formula (one formula per propositional variable). The set of such formulas is a proper subset of the set of logically valid sentences of predicate logic (i.e., sentences that are true in every model).

Finite terms
|
In mathematical logic, a term denotes a mathematical object while a formula denotes a mathematical fact. In particular, terms appear as components of a formula. This is analogous to natural language, where a noun phrase refers to an object and a whole sentence refers to a fact. A first-order term is recursively constructed from constant symbols, variables and function symbols. An expression formed by applying a predicate symbol to an appropriate number of terms is called an atomic formula, which evaluates to true or false in bivalent logics, given an interpretation. For example, ( x + 1 ) ∗ ( x + 1 ) {\displaystyle (x+1)*(x+1)} is a term built from the constant 1, the variable x, and the binary function symbols + {\displaystyle +} and ∗ {\displaystyle *} ; it is part of the atomic formula ( x + 1 ) ∗ ( x + 1 ) ≥ 0 {\displaystyle (x+1)*(x+1)\geq 0} which evaluates to true for each real-numbered value of x. Besides in logic, terms play important roles in universal algebra, and rewriting systems.

Theory (mathematical logic)

In mathematical logic, a theory (also called a formal theory) is a set of sentences in a formal language. In most scenarios a deductive system is first understood from context, after which an element ϕ ∈ T {\displaystyle \phi \in T} of a deductively closed theory T {\displaystyle T} is then called a theorem of the theory. In many deductive systems there is usually a subset Σ ⊆ T {\displaystyle \Sigma \subseteq T} that is called "the set of axioms" of the theory T {\displaystyle T} , in which case the deductive system is also called an "axiomatic system". By definition, every axiom is automatically a theorem. A first-order theory is a set of first-order sentences (theorems) recursively obtained by the inference rules of the system applied to the set of axioms.

Extension by new constant and function names

In mathematical logic, a theory can be extended with new constants or function names under certain conditions with assurance that the extension will introduce no contradiction. Extension by definitions is perhaps the best-known approach, but it requires unique existence of an object with the desired property. Addition of new names can also be done safely without uniqueness. Suppose that a closed formula ∃ x 1 … ∃ x m φ ( x 1 , … , x m ) {\displaystyle \exists x_{1}\ldots \exists x_{m}\,\varphi (x_{1},\ldots ,x_{m})} is a theorem of a first-order theory T {\displaystyle T} .

Existential theory of the reals

However, there are other number systems that are not accurately described by these axioms; in particular, the theory defined in the same way for integers instead of real numbers is undecidable, even for existential sentences (Diophantine equations) by Matiyasevich's theorem.The existential theory of the reals is the fragment of the first-order theory consisting of sentences in which all the quantifiers are existential and they appear before any of the other symbols. That is, it is the set of all true sentences of the form where F ( X 1 , … X n ) {\displaystyle F(X_{1},\dots X_{n})} is a quantifier-free formula involving equalities and inequalities of real polynomials. The decision problem for the existential theory of the reals is the algorithmic problem of testing whether a given sentence belongs to this theory; equivalently, for strings that pass the basic syntactical checks (they use the correct symbols with the correct syntax, and have no unquantified variables) it is the problem of testing whether the sentence is a true statement about the real numbers.

The simplest measure of this type is the length of a sentence: that is, the number of symbols it contains. However, in order to achieve a more precise analysis of the behavior of algorithms for this problem, it is convenient to break down the input size into several variables, separating out the number of variables to be quantified, the number of polynomials within the sentence, and the degree of these polynomials.

In model theory, the notion of a categorical theory is refined with respect to cardinality. A theory is κ-categorical (or categorical in κ) if it has exactly one model of cardinality κ up to isomorphism. Morley's categoricity theorem is a theorem of Michael D. Morley (1965) stating that if a first-order theory in a countable language is categorical in some uncountable cardinality, then it is categorical in all uncountable cardinalities. Saharon Shelah (1974) extended Morley's theorem to uncountable languages: if the language has cardinality κ and a theory is categorical in some uncountable cardinal greater than or equal to κ then it is categorical in all cardinalities greater than κ.

Complete theory
|
In mathematical logic, a theory is complete if it is consistent and for every closed formula in the theory's language, either that formula or its negation is provable. That is, for every sentence φ , {\displaystyle \varphi ,} the theory T {\displaystyle T} contains the sentence or its negation but not both (that is, either T ⊢ φ {\displaystyle T\vdash \varphi } or T ⊢ ¬ φ {\displaystyle T\vdash \neg \varphi } ). Recursively axiomatizable first-order theories that are consistent and rich enough to allow general mathematical reasoning to be formulated cannot be complete, as demonstrated by Gödel's first incompleteness theorem. This sense of complete is distinct from the notion of a complete logic, which asserts that for every theory that can be formulated in the logic, all semantically valid statements are provable theorems (for an appropriate sense of "semantically valid").

Complete theory
|
Gödel's completeness theorem is about this latter kind of completeness. Complete theories are closed under a number of conditions internally modelling the T-schema: For a set of formulas S {\displaystyle S}: A ∧ B ∈ S {\displaystyle A\land B\in S} if and only if A ∈ S {\displaystyle A\in S} and B ∈ S {\displaystyle B\in S} , For a set of formulas S {\displaystyle S}: A ∨ B ∈ S {\displaystyle A\lor B\in S} if and only if A ∈ S {\displaystyle A\in S} or B ∈ S {\displaystyle B\in S} .Maximal consistent sets are a fundamental tool in the model theory of classical logic and modal logic. Their existence in a given case is usually a straightforward consequence of Zorn's lemma, based on the idea that a contradiction involves use of only finitely many premises. In the case of modal logics, the collection of maximal consistent sets extending a theory T (closed under the necessitation rule) can be given the structure of a model of T, called the canonical model.

Universal quantifier
|
In mathematical logic, a universal quantification is a type of quantifier, a logical constant which is interpreted as "given any", "for all", or "for any". It expresses that a predicate can be satisfied by every member of a domain of discourse. In other words, it is the predication of a property or relation to every member of the domain. It asserts that a predicate within the scope of a universal quantifier is true of every value of a predicate variable.

Universal quantifier
|
It is usually denoted by the turned A (∀) logical operator symbol, which, when used together with a predicate variable, is called a universal quantifier ("∀x", "∀(x)", or sometimes by "(x)" alone). Universal quantification is distinct from existential quantification ("there exists"), which only asserts that the property or relation holds for at least one member of the domain. Quantification in general is covered in the article on quantification (logic). The universal quantifier is encoded as U+2200 ∀ FOR ALL in Unicode, and as \forall in LaTeX and related formula editors.

Witness (mathematics)
|
In mathematical logic, a witness is a specific value t to be substituted for variable x of an existential statement of the form ∃x φ(x) such that φ(t) is true.

Abstract algebraic logic
|
In mathematical logic, abstract algebraic logic is the study of the algebraization of deductive systems arising as an abstraction of the well-known Lindenbaum–Tarski algebra, and how the resulting algebras are related to logical systems.

Abstract model theory
|
In mathematical logic, abstract model theory is a generalization of model theory that studies the general properties of extensions of first-order logic and their models.Abstract model theory provides an approach that allows us to step back and study a wide range of logics and their relationships. The starting point for the study of abstract models, which resulted in good examples was Lindström's theorem.In 1974 Jon Barwise provided an axiomatization of abstract model theory.

Logic of relations
|
In mathematical logic, algebraic logic is the reasoning obtained by manipulating equations with free variables. What is now usually called classical algebraic logic focuses on the identification and algebraic description of models appropriate for the study of various logics (in the form of classes of algebras that constitute the algebraic semantics for these deductive systems) and connected problems like representation and duality. Well known results like the representation theorem for Boolean algebras and Stone duality fall under the umbrella of classical algebraic logic (Czelakowski 2003). Works in the more recent abstract algebraic logic (AAL) focus on the process of algebraization itself, like classifying various forms of algebraizability using the Leibniz operator (Czelakowski 2003).

Modus ponens
|
In this context, to say that P {\textstyle P} and P → Q {\displaystyle P\rightarrow Q} together imply Q {\displaystyle Q} —that is, to affirm modus ponens as valid—is to say that P ∧ ( P → Q ) ≤ Q {\displaystyle P\wedge (P\rightarrow Q)\leq Q} . In the semantics for basic propositional logic, the algebra is Boolean, with → {\displaystyle \rightarrow } construed as the material conditional: P → Q = ¬ P ∨ Q {\displaystyle P\rightarrow Q=\neg {P}\vee Q} . Confirming that P ∧ ( P → Q ) ≤ Q {\displaystyle P\wedge (P\rightarrow Q)\leq Q} is then straightforward, because P ∧ ( P → Q ) = P ∧ Q {\displaystyle P\wedge (P\rightarrow Q)=P\wedge Q} . With other treatments of → {\displaystyle \rightarrow } , the semantics becomes more complex, the algebra may be non-Boolean, and the validity of modus ponens cannot be taken for granted.

Arithmetical numbers
|
In mathematical logic, an arithmetical set (or arithmetic set) is a set of natural numbers that can be defined by a formula of first-order Peano arithmetic. The arithmetical sets are classified by the arithmetical hierarchy. The definition can be extended to an arbitrary countable set A (e.g. the set of n-tuples of integers, the set of rational numbers, the set of formulas in some formal language, etc.) by using Gödel numbers to represent elements of the set and declaring a subset of A to be arithmetical if the set of corresponding Gödel numbers is arithmetical.

Arithmetical numbers
|
A function f :⊆ N k → N {\displaystyle f:\subseteq \mathbb {N} ^{k}\to \mathbb {N} } is called arithmetically definable if the graph of f {\displaystyle f} is an arithmetical set. A real number is called arithmetical if the set of all smaller rational numbers is arithmetical. A complex number is called arithmetical if its real and imaginary parts are both arithmetical.

Atomic formula
|
In mathematical logic, an atomic formula (also known as an atom or a prime formula) is a formula with no deeper propositional structure, that is, a formula that contains no logical connectives or equivalently a formula that has no strict subformulas. Atoms are thus the simplest well-formed formulas of the logic. Compound formulas are formed by combining the atomic formulas using the logical connectives.

Atomic formula
|
The precise form of atomic formulas depends on the logic under consideration; for propositional logic, for example, a propositional variable is often more briefly referred to as an "atomic formula", but, more precisely, a propositional variable is not an atomic formula but a formal expression that denotes an atomic formula. For predicate logic, the atoms are predicate symbols together with their arguments, each argument being a term. In model theory, atomic formulas are merely strings of symbols with a given signature, which may or may not be satisfiable with respect to a given model.

Effective Polish space
|
In mathematical logic, an effective Polish space is a complete separable metric space that has a computable presentation. Such spaces are studied in effective descriptive set theory and in constructive analysis. In particular, standard examples of Polish spaces such as the real line, the Cantor set and the Baire space are all effective Polish spaces.
