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 (
||)
- Negation (
- All Boolean functions can be constructed using just NOT and AND or NOT and OR.
- IMPLIES is another Boolean function:
b1 implies b2is 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.
