The truth table for P implies Q , P Q , is given by: Q PQ P Row 1 T T T Row 2 T F F Row 3 F T T Row 4 F F T TABLE 11 You mi ...

The Decision Problem for Standard Classes
... We say that a class K of formulas is decidable if both satisfiability and finite satisfiability (that is, satisfiability in a finite model) are decidable for formulas in K. K is conservative [8] if there exists an algorithm a. '> a' which associates a formula a' E K with each formula a in such a way ...
