    Study Notes

    Quantifier-free First-order Logic in Haskell

    • A Boolean is a truth value, either True or False.
    • In Haskell, the type Bool has True and False.
    • Boolean expressions are expressions of type Bool, for example, True, False, True && False, 1 == 2
    • Boolean functions have the form Bool -> Bool -> … -> Bool.
    • Haskell provides three basic boolean functions:
      • Negation (not)
      • Conjunction (&&)
      • Disjunction (||)
    • All Boolean functions can be constructed using just NOT and AND or NOT and OR.
    • IMPLIES is another Boolean function:
      • b1 implies b2 is equivalent to (not b1) or b2.
      • There are 16 binary Boolean functions in Bool -> Bool.
    • A predicate is a function with a return type of Bool.
    • Examples of predefined binary predicates in Haskell:
      • ==, /=, <=, >=, <, >
    • Conditional expressions are expressions whose values depend on Boolean expressions.
    • Recursion defines something, typically a function, in terms of itself.
      • An alternative to loops (iteration).
      • Requires careful and consistent use to avoid nonsensical outcomes or confusion.
    • Recursive definitions can be proven correct using mathematical induction.
    • Divide and conquer strategies are used to solve problems recursively by breaking problems down into simpler instances, eventually reaching a simplest instance that is directly solved.
    • Kleene Star Operator and Kleene Algebra are named after Stephen Kleene, a logician and computer scientist.
    • Proving a recursive function using induction requires proving a base case and an inductive step.
    • Linear Search can be implemented using recursion.
    • A product type is an algebraic type that has one constructor and the same structure as a tuple type.
    • Enumeration types are algebraic types with explicitly named and finite values.
    • Recursive types are algebraic types where the defined type is included in the constructor's types.
    • Algebraic types can define type constructors that take types as parameters.
    • map is a function that applies a given function to each element of a list.
    • Recursion is key to defining functions that operate on data structures like lists or trees.

    Key concepts

    • Boolean functions are functions that operate on and return Boolean values (True or False).
    • Predicates are functions that test a specific property and return a Boolean value.
    • Conditional expressions allow Haskell code to make decisions based on the results of Boolean expressions.
    • Recursion is a powerful technique for defining functions that can operate on potentially infinite data structures.
    • Algebraic types provide a flexible way to define new data types in Haskell.
    • Induction is a powerful mathematical technique often employed to prove the correctness of recursive functions.
