Chapter 2 Notes Niven – RHS Fall 12-13
... If you want to show that a conjecture is false (or disprove the conjecture) you only need to show ONE example where the conjecture does not work. That example proving a conjecture false is called a counterexample. A counter example is a specific case for which the conjecture is false. To show that a ...

... Proving universal statements Claim: For any integers a and b, if a and b are odd, then ab is also odd. Definition: integer a is odd iff a = 2m + 1 for some integer m Let a, b ∈ Z s.t. a and b are odd. Then by definition of odd a = 2m + 1.m ∈ Z and b = 2n + 1.n ∈ Z So ab = (2m + 1)(2n + 1) = 4mn + 2m ...

For example (x + -y) (y + -w) (-x + -y) (z + y) (-z + w) is not satisfiable and will result in a graph with a cycle including y and –y. Note how much ...
