Chapter 5: Methods of Proof for Boolean Logic
... TT-contradictory. This will require some extra footwork in cases in which we have other kinds of contradictions. § 5.4 Arguments with inconsistent premises If a set of premises is inconsistent, any argument having those premises is valid. (If the premises are inconsistent, there is no possible circu ...

On Herbrand`s Theorem for Intuitionistic Logic
... to the deducibility of a Herbrand extension, and then the necessary Herbrand terms can be extracted from the cut-free proof. In fact, a similar idea is used in free-variable tableau methods [8], where quantifiers are dealt with separately from dealing with the propositional proof skeleton. Since fre ...

... • Knowing the meaning tells you how to determine the truth value. The sentence copper conducts electricity has meaning and is understood because we know how to determine whether it’s true or false: for example, by use of a volt meter. We could also comment sensibly on the sentence by noting the use ...

Probabilistic Theorem Proving - The University of Texas at Dallas
... PKB from a probabilistic program using the program given in Fig. 3(a). To model the infinite selfrecursion, we introduce an atom SillyGameTmp, that has three logical variables x, y and t as its terms. As before, the domains of x and y are the objects in the real-world while the domain of t is infini ...

For example, in Harrah’s system our @P would be called the “assertive core” of the question, whereas his indicated replies ...

... members are 0,1,2. The second is the set of strings whose members are the strings 0,1,2, each a string of length 1. • By convention, we will try to use lower-case letters at the beginning of the alphabet to denote symbols, and lower-case letters near the end of the alphabet to represent strings. ...
