    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

    Examples

    • Example 3: Valid argument using Modus ponens and Modus tollens rules of inference.
