The logic of negationless mathematics
... propositional calculus. In a mathematical Griss-system only true propositions will occur. So there is no reason for linking them by a sign for disjunction or implication. "In rough" we may find that a certain proposition can be proved as soon as A has been proved and also as soon as B has been prove ...

A Brief Introduction to the Intuitionistic Propositional Calculus

As time as passed, and no such formula has been forthcoming, this possibility has seemed incre ...

Definability in Boolean bunched logic
... A property P of BBI-models is said to be definable if there exists a formula A such that for all BBI-models M , A is valid in M ⇐⇒ M ∈ P. We’ll consider properties that feature in various models of separation logic. To show a property is definable, just exhibit the defining ...

In order to show (2), we first show the following: Claim: Øf is the smallest element of f, which is to say it is the smallest successor subset of S. P ...

1 Proof by Contradiction - Stony Brook Mathematics
... The process of writing a proof by contradiction involves some suspension of disbelief. In order to be effective you need to reason as if the assumption you believe must be false is in fact true. In the real world of course, you may end up discovering new territories where your desired theorem fails. ...
