Application: Digital Logic Circuits • More complicated circuits correspond to more complicated logical expressions. • This correspondence has been used extensively in design and study of circuits. • Electrical engineers use language of logic when refer to values of signals produced by an electronic switch as being “true” or “false.” • Only that symbols 1 and 0 are used • symbols 0 and 1 are called bits, short for binary digits. • This terminology was introduced in 1946 by the statistician John Tukey. Black Boxes and Gates Black Boxes and Gates • Circuits: transform combinations of signal bits (1’s and 0’s) into other combinations of signal bits (1’s and 0’s). • Computer engineers and digital system designers treat basic circuits as black boxes. • Ignore inside of a black box (detailed implementation of circuit) • focused on the relation between the input and the output signals. • Operation of a black box is completely specified by constructing an input/output table that lists all its possible input signals together with their corresponding output signals. Black Boxes and Gates One possible correspondence of input to output signals is as follows: An Input/Output Table Black Boxes and Gates An efficient method for designing more complicated circuits is to build them by connecting less complicated black box circuits. Gates can be combined into circuits in a variety of ways. If the rules shown on the next page are obeyed, the result is a combinational circuit, one whose output at any time is determined entirely by its input at that time without regard to previous inputs.

  • Shalack V.I. Semiotic Foundations of Logic
    Semiotic foundations of logic Vladimir I. Shalack abstract. The article offers a look at the combinatorial logic as the logic of signs operating in the most general sense. For this it is proposed slightly reformulate it in terms of introducing and replacement of the definitions. Keywords: combinatory logic, semiotics, definition, logic founda- tions 1 Language selection Let’s imagine for a moment what would be like the classical logic, if we had not studied it in the language of negation, conjunction, dis- junction and implication, but in the language of the Sheffer stroke. I recall that it can be defined with help of negation and conjunction as follows A j B =Df :(A ^ B): In turn, all connectives can be defined with help of the Sheffer stroke in following manner :A =Df (A j A) A ^ B =Df (A j B) j (A j B) A _ B =Df (A j A) j (B j B) A ⊃ B =Df A j (B j B): Modus ponens rule takes the following form A; A j (B j B) . B 226 Vladimir I. Shalack We can go further and following the ideas of M. Sch¨onfinkel to define two-argument infix quantifier ‘jx’ x A j B =Df 8x(A j B): Now we can use it to define Sheffer stroke and quantifiers. x A j B =Df A j B where the variable x is not free in the formulas A and B; y x y 8xA =Df (A j A) j (A j A) where the variable y is not free in the formula A; x y x 9xA =Df (A j A) j (A j A) where the variable y is not free in the formula A.

  • CS 173: Discrete Structures, Spring 2012 Homework 1 Solutions
    CS 173: Discrete Structures, Spring 2012 Homework 1 Solutions This homework contains 3 problems worth a total of 25 points. 1. [1 point] Finding information on Piazza How many pet rats does Margaret’s family have? (Hint: see Piazza.) Solution: Margaret’s family has six pet rats. 2. [4 points] Demographic Survey 3. [20 points] Logic operators The late 19th century philosopher Charles Peirce (rhymes with ‘hearse,’ not ‘fierce’) wrote about a set of logically dual operators and, in his writings, coined the term ‘Ampheck’ to describe them. The two most common Ampheck operators, the Peirce arrow (written ↓ or ⊥ or ∨ by different people) and the Sheffer stroke (written ↑ or | or ∧ by different people), are defined by the following truth table: p q p ↑ q p ↓ q T T F F T F T F F T T F F F T T (a) (4 points) The set of operators {∧, ∨, ¬} is functionally complete, which means that every logical statement can be expressed using only these three operators. Is the smaller set of operators {∨, ¬} also functionally complete? Explain why or why not. Solution: By De Morgan’s laws, ¬(¬p∨¬q) ≡ ¬¬p∧¬¬q ≡ p∧q So every logical statement using the ∧ operator can be rewritten in terms of the ∨ and ¬ operators. Since every logical statement can be expressed in terms of the ∧, ∨, and ¬ operators, this implies that every logical statement can be expressed in terms of the ∨ and ¬ operators, and so {∨, ¬} is functionally complete. (b) (4 points) Express ¬p using only the Sheffer stroke operation ↑. Solution: Note that ¬p is true if and only if p is false.

Predicate logic . Post's Functional Completeness Theorem Propositions . A proposition is a statement that is either true or false. Whichever of these (true or false) is the case is called the truth value of the proposition. ‘Canberra is the capital of Australia’ ‘There are 8 day in a week.’ . The first and third of these propositions are true, and the second and fourth are false. The following sentences are not propositions: ‘Where are you going?’ ‘Come here.’ ‘This sentence is false.’ Propositions . Propositions are conventionally symbolized using the letters Any of these may be used to symbolize specific propositions, e.g. :, Manchester, , … . is in Scotland, : Mammoths are extinct. The previous propositions are simple propositions since they make only a single statement. Logical connectives and truth tables . Simple propositions can be combined to form more complicated propositions called compound propositions. .The devices which are used to link pairs of propositions are called logical connectives and the truth value of any compound proposition is completely determined by the truth values of its component simple propositions, and the particular connective, or connectives, used to link them. ‘If Brian and Angela are not both happy, then either Brian is not happy or Angela is not happy.’ .The sentence about Brian and Angela is an example of a compound proposition. It is built up from the atomic propositions ‘Brian is happy’ and ‘Angela is happy’ using the words and, or, not and if-then.

  • Logic and Bit Operations
    Logic and bit operations • Computers represent information by bits. • A bit has two possible values, namely zero and one. This meaning of the word comes from binary digit, since zeroes and ones are the digits used in binary representations of numbers. The well-known statistician John Tuley introduced this terminology in 1946. (There were several other suggested words for a binary digit, including binit and bigit, that never were widely accepted.) • A bit can be used to represent a truth value, since there are two truth values, true and false. • A variable is called a Boolean variable if its values are either true or false. • Computer bit operations correspond to the logical connectives. We will also use the notation OR, AND and XOR for _ , ^ and exclusive _. • A bit string is a sequence of zero or more bits. The length of the string is the number of bits in the string. 1 • We can extend bit operations to bit strings. We define bitwise OR, bitwise AND and bitwise XOR of two strings of the same length to be the strings that have as their bits the OR, AND and XOR of the corresponding bits in the two strings. • Example: Find the bitwise OR, bitwise AND and bitwise XOR of the bit strings 01101 10110 11000 11101 Solution: The bitwise OR is 11101 11111 The bitwise AND is 01000 10100 and the bitwise XOR is 10101 01011 2 Boolean algebra • The circuits in computers and other electronic devices have inputs, each of which is either a 0 or a 1, and produce outputs that are also 0s and 1s.

  • A Note on Error Detection in Noisy Logical Computers
    INFORMATION AND CONTROL 9., 310-313 (1959) A Note on Error Detection in Noisy Logical Computers ~/[URRAY EDEN* Center for Communication Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts A method of error detection is proposed for noisy logical computer elements. The proposal extends the range of the propositional vari- ables so that residue class check symbols may be used in error detec- tion. The principal consequence is that individual logical elements may be designed to process binary inputs with arbitrary reliability and nonzero channel capacity. Programs for the construction of finite state automata assembled out of components that are liable to some errors in their output have been considered in some detail by yon Neumann (1956) and by Moore and Shannon (1956). Although these two theories are quite different in de- tail and, indeed, consider errors at different places in the automaton, both derive a comparable principal theorem, namely, that if components with a reliability less than 1 (and greater than ~/g in the yon Neumann model or different from ~ in the Moore and Shannon model) are com- posed in some suitable way into a redundant net of components, then the over-all reliability can be made arbitrarily close to 1 by a sufficient redundancy. Elias (1958) has pointed out a weakness in these constructions, in that the coding theorem for noisy channels does not hold for such auto- mata; that is, even though "the receiver has only a small amount of equivocation, and it would take only a small additional amount of in- formation to correct the occasional errors which are present in the com- puter output, it is not possible to provide this extra information by cod- ing the different blocks of k digits independently of one another before the computation begins." * Permanent address : Laboratory of Technical Development, National Heart Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda 14, Maryland.

Application: Digital Logic Circuits The drawing in Figure 2.4.1(a) shows the appearance of the two positions of a simple switch. When the switch is closed, current can flow from one terminal to the other; when it is open, current cannot flow. ! Imagine that such a switch is part of the circuit shown in figure 2.4.1(b). The light bulb turns on if, and only if, current flows through it. And this happens if, and only if, the switch is closed.

  • Appendix B-1
    Appendix B-1 Alternative Notations and Connectives The logical language we have studied in this chapter is the best known classical system oflogic of statements. There are various alternative symbolic notations for the connectives we introduced, the most common of which are listed below. Alternative notation for connectives our symbol alternative( s) negation '" ---',-,p conjunction & 1\, • conditional -+ :::) (called 'horseshoe') Table B.I-l Furthermore, there are two connectives which we have not introduced, as they are not part of the system most commonly used. One, called "Quine's dagger", L is sufficiently powerful to be the only connective in a system equivalent to the one given. Its truth table is shown in (B.II.-2). 237 238 ApPENDIX B-1 P Q PlQ 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 Table B.I-2 Its nearest English correspondent is neither ... nor. As an interesting ex­ ercise one can show that negation can be defined in terms of this connec­ tive, and then that disjunction can be defined in terms of negation and this connective. We have already proven (Chapter, Exercise 7) that the five­ connective system can be reduced to one containing just V and "'. Therefore 1 suffices alone for the five connectives. Similarly, there is another connective, written as I, which is called the "Sheffer stroke", whose interpretation by the truth table is as follows: P Q PIQ 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 Table BJ-3 There is no simple English connective which has this meaning, but it can be expressed as 'not both p and q' or the neologism 'nand'.
