Study Notes

Tautological Implications and Equivalence

A formula is equivalent to a tautology if and only if it is a tautology.
A formula is implied by a tautology if and only if it is a tautology.
Equivalence of formulas is transitive: if ⇔ and ⇔ then ⇔ .
Tautological implication of formulas is also transitive: if ⟹ and ⟹ then ⟹ .

Rules of Inference

∧ ⟹ ; ∧ ⟹
⟹ ∨ ; ⟹ ∨
⟶ ∧ ⟶ ⟹ ⟶
⟶ ∧ ⟶ ∧ ∨ ⟹ ∨
⟶ ∧ ⟶ ∧ ~ ∨ ~ ⟹ ~ ∨ ~

Theorem 1: Equivalence

⟺ if and only if ⟹ and ⟹
Proof: ≡ if and only if ⟹ and ⟹

Third Inference Rule

Theorem 2: If /, , /- , … , /C and / imply 0, then /, , /- , … , /C imply / ⟶ 0
Proof: " ∧ # ∧ … ∧ % ∧ ⟹ 0 then " ∧ # ∧ … ∧ % ⟹ / ⟶ 0
