  • Ling 130 Notes: a Guide to Natural Deduction Proofs
    Ling 130 Notes: A guide to Natural Deduction proofs Sophia A. Malamud February 7, 2018 1 Strategy summary Given a set of premises, ∆, and the goal you are trying to prove, Γ, there are some simple rules of thumb that will be helpful in finding ND proofs for problems. These are not complete, but will get you through our problem sets. Here goes: Given Delta, prove Γ: 1. Apply the premises, pi in ∆, to prove Γ. Do any other obvious steps. 2. If you need to use a premise (or an assumption, or another resource formula) which is a disjunction (_-premise), then apply Proof By Cases (Disjunction Elimination, _E) rule and prove Γ for each disjunct. 3. Otherwise, work backwards from the type of goal you are proving: (a) If the goal Γ is a conditional (A ! B), then assume A and prove B; use arrow-introduction (Conditional Introduction, ! I) rule. (b) If the goal Γ is a a negative (:A), then assume ::A (or just assume A) and prove con- tradiction; use Reductio Ad Absurdum (RAA, proof by contradiction, Negation Intro- duction, :I) rule. (c) If the goal Γ is a conjunction (A ^ B), then prove A and prove B; use Conjunction Introduction (^I) rule. (d) If the goal Γ is a disjunction (A _ B), then prove one of A or B; use Disjunction Intro- duction (_I) rule. 4. If all else fails, use RAA (proof by contradiction). 2 Using rules for conditionals • Conditional Elimination (modus ponens) (! E) φ ! , φ ` This rule requires a conditional and its antecedent.

  • Chapter 5: Methods of Proof for Boolean Logic
    Chapter 5: Methods of Proof for Boolean Logic § 5.1 Valid inference steps Conjunction elimination Sometimes called simplification. From a conjunction, infer any of the conjuncts. • From P ∧ Q, infer P (or infer Q). Conjunction introduction Sometimes called conjunction. From a pair of sentences, infer their conjunction. • From P and Q, infer P ∧ Q. § 5.2 Proof by cases This is another valid inference step (it will form the rule of disjunction elimination in our formal deductive system and in Fitch), but it is also a powerful proof strategy. In a proof by cases, one begins with a disjunction (as a premise, or as an intermediate conclusion already proved). One then shows that a certain consequence may be deduced from each of the disjuncts taken separately. One concludes that that same sentence is a consequence of the entire disjunction. • From P ∨ Q, and from the fact that S follows from P and S also follows from Q, infer S. The general proof strategy looks like this: if you have a disjunction, then you know that at least one of the disjuncts is true—you just don’t know which one. So you consider the individual “cases” (i.e., disjuncts), one at a time. You assume the first disjunct, and then derive your conclusion from it. You repeat this process for each disjunct. So it doesn’t matter which disjunct is true—you get the same conclusion in any case. Hence you may infer that it follows from the entire disjunction. In practice, this method of proof requires the use of “subproofs”—we will take these up in the next chapter when we look at formal proofs.

  • Starting the Dismantling of Classical Mathematics
    Australasian Journal of Logic Starting the Dismantling of Classical Mathematics Ross T. Brady La Trobe University Melbourne, Australia [email protected] Dedicated to Richard Routley/Sylvan, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of his untimely death. 1 Introduction Richard Sylvan (n´eRoutley) has been the greatest influence on my career in logic. We met at the University of New England in 1966, when I was a Master's student and he was one of my lecturers in the M.A. course in Formal Logic. He was an inspirational leader, who thought his own thoughts and was not afraid to speak his mind. I hold him in the highest regard. He was very critical of the standard Anglo-American way of doing logic, the so-called classical logic, which can be seen in everything he wrote. One of his many critical comments was: “G¨odel's(First) Theorem would not be provable using a decent logic". This contribution, written to honour him and his works, will examine this point among some others. Hilbert referred to non-constructive set theory based on classical logic as \Cantor's paradise". In this historical setting, the constructive logic and mathematics concerned was that of intuitionism. (The Preface of Mendelson [2010] refers to this.) We wish to start the process of dismantling this classi- cal paradise, and more generally classical mathematics. Our starting point will be the various diagonal-style arguments, where we examine whether the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) is implicitly used in carrying them out. This will include the proof of G¨odel'sFirst Theorem, and also the proof of the undecidability of Turing's Halting Problem.

  • Relevant and Substructural Logics
    Relevant and Substructural Logics GREG RESTALL∗ PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT, MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY [email protected] June 23, 2001 http://www.phil.mq.edu.au/staff/grestall/ Abstract: This is a history of relevant and substructural logics, written for the Hand- book of the History and Philosophy of Logic, edited by Dov Gabbay and John Woods.1 1 Introduction Logics tend to be viewed of in one of two ways — with an eye to proofs, or with an eye to models.2 Relevant and substructural logics are no different: you can focus on notions of proof, inference rules and structural features of deduction in these logics, or you can focus on interpretations of the language in other structures. This essay is structured around the bifurcation between proofs and mod- els: The first section discusses Proof Theory of relevant and substructural log- ics, and the second covers the Model Theory of these logics. This order is a natural one for a history of relevant and substructural logics, because much of the initial work — especially in the Anderson–Belnap tradition of relevant logics — started by developing proof theory. The model theory of relevant logic came some time later. As we will see, Dunn's algebraic models [76, 77] Urquhart's operational semantics [267, 268] and Routley and Meyer's rela- tional semantics [239, 240, 241] arrived decades after the initial burst of ac- tivity from Alan Anderson and Nuel Belnap. The same goes for work on the Lambek calculus: although inspired by a very particular application in lin- guistic typing, it was developed first proof-theoretically, and only later did model theory come to the fore.

  • Propositional Logic
    Propositional logic Readings: Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of Huth and Ryan. In this module, we will consider propositional logic, which will look familiar to you from Math 135 and CS 251. The difference here is that we first define a formal proof system and practice its use before talking about a semantic interpretation (which will also be familiar) and showing that these two notions coincide. 1 Declarative sentences (1.1) A proposition or declarative sentence is one that can, in principle, be argued as being true or false. Examples: “My car is green” or “Susan was born in Canada”. Many sentences are not declarative, such as “Help!”, “What time is it?”, or “Get me something to eat.” The declarative sentences above are atomic; they cannot be decomposed further. A sentence like “My car is green AND you do not have a car” is a compound sentence or compositional sentence. 2 To clarify the manipulations we perform in logical proofs, we will represent declarative sentences symbolically by atoms such as p, q, r. (We avoid t, f , T , F for reasons which will become evident.) Compositional sentences will be represented by formulas, which combine atoms with connectives. Formulas are intended to symbolically represent statements in the type of mathematical or logical reasoning we have done in the past. Our standard set of connectives will be , , , and . (In Math : ^ _ ! 135, you also used , which we will not use.) Soon, we will $ describe the set of formulas as a formal language; for the time being, we use an informal description.

  • List of Rules of Inference 1 List of Rules of Inference
    List of rules of inference 1 List of rules of inference This is a list of rules of inference, logical laws that relate to mathematical formulae. Introduction Rules of inference are syntactical transform rules which one can use to infer a conclusion from a premise to create an argument. A set of rules can be used to infer any valid conclusion if it is complete, while never inferring an invalid conclusion, if it is sound. A sound and complete set of rules need not include every rule in the following list, as many of the rules are redundant, and can be proven with the other rules. Discharge rules permit inference from a subderivation based on a temporary assumption. Below, the notation indicates such a subderivation from the temporary assumption to .

  • The Systems of Relevance Logic
    ARGUMENT Vol. 1 1/2011 pp. 87–102 The Systems of Relevance Logic Ryszard MIREK Kraków ABSTRACT The system R, or more precisely the pure implicational fragment R →, is considered by the relevance logicians as the most important. The another central system of relevance logic has been the logic E of entailment that was supposed to capture strict relevant implication. The next system of relevance logic is RM or R-mingle. The question is whether adding mingle axiom to R → yields the pure implicational fragment RM → of the system? As concerns the weak systems there are at least two approaches to the problem. First of all, it is possible to restrict a validity of some theorems. In another approach we can investigate even weaker log- ics which have no theorems and are characterized only by rules of deducibility. 1. ThE SySTEM oF NATURAl DEDUCTIoN The central point of relevant logicians has been to avoid the paradoxes of material and strict implication. In other words, according to them, the heart of logic lies in the notion “if […] then [...]”. Among the material paradoxes the following are known: M1. α → (β → α) (positive paradox); M2. ~ α → (α → β); M3. (α → β) ∨ (β → α); M4. (α → β) ∨ (β → γ). In turn, among the strict paradoxes there are known the following: S1. α → (β → β); S2. α → (β ∨ ~ β); S3. (α ∧ ¬ α) → β (ex falso quodlibet). www.argument-journal.eu 88 Ryszard MIREK Relevance logicians have claimed that these theses are counterintui- tive. According to them, in each of them the antecedent seems irrelevant to the consequent.
