logic - Well-formed Formula - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2020年9月16日 · It would be strongly welcomed to know your ideas on proof of this task. Note: Well-Formed Formulas of Predicate Logic 1) Atomic formulas are wffs. 2) If α and β are wffs, then so are (¬α), (α ∧ β ), (α ∨ β ) and (α → β). 3) If x is a variable and α is a wff, then (∀x)α and (∃x)α are wffs. Presumably you have a set of ...
Proving that a formula is not a WFF - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2021年2月3日 · 1. One way of defining a well-formed formula goes that it comes as possible to construct a sequence of symbols where every step α α gets built up according to the following : α α is a propositional variable. α α got obtained from a well-formed formula β β by prefixing a ' ¬ ¬ ' to β β. α α got obtained from two well-formed ...
logic - Number of brackets for a well-formed formula
The first exercise was to prove that a well-formed propositional logic has the same number of left and right brackets. That was pretty easy. But I do not know how to prove that. Edit: Definition of a well-formed formula: Every propositional atom p,q,r,... and p1,p2,p3,... is a wellformed formula. ¬: If φ is a well-formed formula, then so is ...
Predicate Logic Well Formed Formula: Is ((∀x P(x)) ∨ (∃y Q(f (y ...
2017年5月30日 · Having difficulties understanding well formed formulas. I understand rules, but don't know how they apply to these. If they're not well formed formulas, how do I write it so that it'll be a well formed predicate formula. Please help. 1) ((∀x P(x)) ∨ (∃y Q(f (y)))) Is this a well formed formula? Is the f(y) well formed?
Is this well-formed formula for predicate logic?
2018年8月4日 · For a formula to be of a predicate logic it must follow the well-formed rules. Only (iii) is a formula of predicate logic because it follows the well-formed rules. (i) and (ii) use predicates instead of variables after the quantifiers therefore not well-formed and not a formula of predicate logic. Is there any other reasons why they may not be ...
logic - Proving that the formula is not well-formed-formula ...
2024年1月27日 · The formula is well-formed if it is in the "smallest" set (i.e. intersections over every WFF which are subset of the universe / set of the every possible strings) of closed sets (i.e. closed under conjunction, negation, disjunction) which are constructed as follows: P ⊂ WFF ⊂ W F F. If ϕ, ψ ϕ, ψ is WFF then (ϕ ∨ ψ) ∈ WFF (ϕ ∨ ...
discrete mathematics - Well-formed formula, Inductive Definition ...
Feb 10, 2015 at 17:08. You have to start writing down the inductive definition of well-formed formula. Then, each properties of well-formed formualae must be defined/described following the steps of the inductive definition. Example: step 1 of the inductive def is : evry prop variable is a wff; thus step 1 of the "calculation" of the number of ...

predicate logic - How to build the syntactic tree of this formula ...
2017年3月12日 · The complexity of a formula is given by the number of connectives it contains (e.g.: formula which contains 3 connectives is a formula of a complexity 3). Here is an example: consider the formula Px ⊃ Qab. The "root" of the tree is Px ⊃ Qab itself, which has complexity 1, and the "leaves" are Px and Qab, two formulas of complexity 0. A ...
