Re: A problem in first order logic



Hi

not exists M M[T]=1 & M[~S]=1 iff not exists M M[T u ~S]=1

By cases, by definition and
by the identities:

A iff A & A
A iff B implies not exists M A iff not exists M B.

definition is:

M[T]=1 iff forall A in T M[A]=1

which implies M[A u B]=1 iff M[A]=1 & M[B]=1
for A intersect B=void and M[{A}]=1 iff M[A]=1.
(How is this proofed?)

case 1: ~S not member of T,
then M[T u ~S]=1 iff M[T]=1 & M[~S]=1 by definition.

case 2: ~S element of T,
then M[T u ~S]=1 iff M[T]=1
iff M[T\~S u ~S]=1
iff M[T\~S]=1 & M[~S]=1 by defnition
iff M[T\~S]=1 & M[~S]=1 & M[~S]=1 by identity
iff M[T]=1 & M[~S]=1 by definition

The rest follows from the second identity.


using that cool notation ??


Thanks. Juan.

PD : Where I could find any text about that cool notation ??

Every book about mathematical logic model theory.
Sometimes instead of M[A]=1 one writes M |= A,
and instead of M[A]=0 one writes M |\= A.

But M[.] has more valuation appeal to me than
.. |= .. Sometimes you see also v(A), v(A,M),
[A], [A]_M, etc.. Its all the same idea.

Bye

BTW: M[.] is overloaded, it is defined for
sets of formulas, i.e. T, and single formulas,
i.e. A.
