What is logic?

“Logic is the beginning of

wisdom, not the end”

Page 5: Logic  gates

What is logic? Logic : The branch of philosophy

concerned with analysing the patterns of reasoning by which a conclusion is drawn from a set of premises, without reference to meaning or context

Page 6: Logic  gates

Why study logic?

Logic is concerned with two key skills, which any computer engineer or scientist should have: Abstraction Formalisation

Page 7: Logic  gates

Why is logic important? Logic is a formalisation of reasoning.

Logic is a formal language for

deducing knowledge from a small number of explicitly stated premises (or hypotheses, axioms, facts)

Logic provides a formal framework for representing knowledge

Logic differentiates between the structure and content of an argument

Page 8: Logic  gates

Def: A proposition is a statement that is either true or false. or A proposition is a declarative sentence that is either true or false,but not both.e.g. “It is raining in Delhi.”e.g. “The square of 5 is 16”.

Some propositions may not be easily verified:e.g. “The universe is infinite.”

What is proposition?

Page 9: Logic  gates

The Negation Operator

The negation operator “¬” (NOT) transforms a prop. into its logical negation.

E.g. If p = “I have brown hair.”

then ¬p = “I do not have brown hair.”

The truth table for NOT:p p T F F T

T :≡ True; F :≡ False“:≡” means “is defined as”

Compound Propositions Composite

Composed of subpropositions & various connectives

Primitive or not composite

E.g. This book is good and cheap

Propositional Variable

Symbol representing any proposition

real variable (x)

not propositon but can be replaced by a proposition

Page 13: Logic  gates

Basic Logical Operators

1. Conjunction , pq (and)

2. Disjunction, pq (or)

3. Negation p(not)

Page 14: Logic  gates

The Conjunction Operator

The binary conjunction operator “” (AND) combines two propositions to form their logical conjunction.

E.g. If p=“I will have salad for lunch.” and q=“I will have soup for dinner.”, then pq=“I will have salad for lunch and I will have soup for dinner.”

Topic #1.0 – Propositional Logic: Operators

Logic• More with Truth Tables: conjunction

• If you have propositions p and q, the proposition “p and q” is true when they’re both true, and false otherwise:

P Q P ^ Q

Page 16: Logic  gates

The Disjunction Operator

The binary disjunction operator “” (OR) combines two propositions to form their logical disjunction.

p=“My car has a bad engine.”

q=“My car has a bad carburetor.”

pq=“Either my car has a bad engine, or my car has a bad carburetor.”

After the downward-pointing “axe” of “””splits the wood, yousplits the wood, youcan take 1 piece OR the can take 1 piece OR the other, or both.other, or both.

ExampleIf p represents “ This book is good” and q represents This book is cheap”, write the following sentences in symbolic form:

(a) This book is good and cheap.(b) This book is costly but good(c) This book is neither good nor cheap(d) This book is not good but cheap(e) This book is good or cheap

(a) pq (b)(q) p (c)(p) (q)

(d)( p)q (e)pq

Page 20: Logic  gates

The Implication (conditional) Operator

The implication p q states that p implies q.

I.e., If p is true, then q is true; but if p is not true, then q could be either true or false.

E.g., let p = “You study hard.” q = “You will get a good grade.”

p q = “If you study hard, then you will get a good grade.”

Topic #1.0 – Propositional Logic: Operators

implication p q of p and q is false when p is true and q is false and is true otherwise:

The biconditional operator

The biconditional p q states that p is true if and only if (IFF) q is true.

p = “Bush wins the 2005 election.”

q = “Bush will be president for all of 2006.”

p q = “If, and only if, Bush wins the 2005 election, Bush will be president for all of 2006.”

Well-Formed Formulas(wff)

(i) If P is a propositional variable then it is wff.

(ii) If x is wff , then ~ x is a wff.(iii) If x and y are wff , then (xy), (xy), (xy),(xy)are wffs.(iv) A string of symbols is a wff iff it is obtained by finitely many applications of (i)-(iii)

A wff is not a proposition , but if we substitute the proposition in place of propositional variable , we geta proposition.

Propositional Equivalences In mathematical arguments, you can replace a statement or proposition with another statement or proposition with the same truth valueTautology: A compound proposition (combination of propositions using logical operators) that is always True, no matter what the truth values of the propositions that are in itContradiction: a compound proposition that is always falseContingency: proposition that is neither a tautology or a contradiction

Contingency tautology contradiction

Page 34: Logic  gates

Let P(p,q,.......) be a tautology , and let P1(p,q,......),P2(p,q,......),...... be any propositions.

Since P(p,q,........) does not depend upon the particular truth values of its variables p,q,..., we can substitute P1 for p , P2 for q, in the tautology P(p,q,.....) and still have tautology.

Theorem- If P(p,q,....) is a tautology, then P(P1,P2,.....) is a tautology for any propositions P1,P2,..........

Prove ¬ (p V (¬p q)) ¬ p ¬q,

This is easy to prove using the truth table. But now we want to prove it using the logical equivalences.

Page 42: Logic  gates

PROPOSITIONAL EQUIVALENCES

Prove ¬ (p V (¬p q)) ¬ p ¬q,

Some guidance in proving using logical equivalences. 1. Do implication first

Note: How many laws have to do with implies???

When trying to decide which laws to use in a proof, first ask yourself, are there any implications to prove. If there are then use the third useful law

Page 43: Logic  gates

PROPOSITIONAL EQUIVALENCES

Prove ¬ (p V (¬p q)) ¬ p ¬q,

2. Do DeMorgan’s second

Next ask yourself, are there any negations with and/or operators? If there are, then use DeMorgan’s Law.

Page 44: Logic  gates

PROPOSITIONAL EQUIVALENCES

Prove ¬ (p V (¬p q)) ¬ p ¬q,

3. Use Distributative Law

Next ask yourself, are there both and & or operators? If there are, then use the Distributive Law.

Inference Rules - General Form

• An Inference Rule is – A pattern establishing that if we know that a

set of antecedent statements of certain forms are all true, then we can validly deduce that a certain related consequent statement is true.

• antecedent 1 antecedent 2 … consequent “” means “therefore”

Formal Proof Example

• Suppose we have the following premises:“It is not sunny and it is cold.”“We will swim only if it is sunny.”“If we do not swim, then we will play.”“If we play, then we will be home early.”

• Given these premises, prove the theorem“We will be home early” using inference rules.

Predicate Calculus

* Ram is a student * Shyam is a student

* x is a student

* ‘ is a student ‘ - Predicate

e.g. “2x + 3y = 4z”

Definition- A part of a declarative sentence describingthe properties of an object or relation among objects iscalled a predicate.

Page 85: Logic  gates

Predicate Calculus

* Let A be a given set . A propositional function(or an open sentence or condition) defined on A is an expression p(x) which has property that p(a) is true or false for each

a A.

*A - domain of p(x)

*T - all elements of A for which p(a) is true is called the truth set of p(x)

*T = {x:x A, p(x) is true}or T = {x:p(x)}

p

p p

Page 86: Logic  gates

Predicate Calculus e.g.- 1. x is the father of y - P(x,y) 2. 2x+3y = 4z - S(x,y,z)

P(x,y) , S(x,y,z) are not propositions but if x=2 , y=0 and z =1 in S(x,y,z) or S(2,0,1) is proposition with truth value T

e.g. Find the truth set of each propositional function p(x)defined on the set N of positive integers.(a) Let p(x) be “x+2>7”(b) Let p(x) be “x+5<3”(c) Let p(x) be “x+5>1”

(a) {x:xN, x+2 >7} = {6,7,8,.......},

(b) {x:xN, x+5<3} = (c) {x:xN, x+5>1} = N

Page 87: Logic  gates

Predicate Calculus

Definition - For a declarative sentence involving a predicate, the universe of discourse , or simply the universe, is the set of all possible values which can be assigned to variables.

e.g. -1. For p(x): “x is a student “ the universe of discourseis the set of all human names.

e.g. - E(n): “n is an even integer”

Page 88: Logic  gates

Logic - Quantifiers• Let’s say you have a predicate like P(x) and

you want to apply a statement for all possible values of x. You can use quantifiers to do this.

• The notation x P(x) shows the universal quantification of P(x), with the upside-down A as the universal quantifier.

– It says, FOR ALL x P(x) or FOR EVERY x P(x)

Page 89: Logic  gates

Logic - Quantifiers• An example: Every student in JUIT has

studied Maths could be expressed as:– x (S(x) P(x))

• Where P(x) denotes that x has studied Maths• And S(x) denotes that x is in JUIT• And the arrow denotes “then”

Page 90: Logic  gates

Logic - Quantifiers– Existential Quantifier of a proposition: there exists

an element x in the universe of discourse such that P(x) is true

– That is, there is AN x, or at least ONE x, such that P(x) is true

– In this case, one would use the backwards E to denote this type quantifier rather than the all inclusive upside down A:• x P(x)• For example, if P(x) was the statement x > 89, and

your data set included test scores of 65, 72, 85, 88, and 95 what would be the existential quantification of P(x)?– TRUE!

“For all x there is a y such that x is greater than y and less than y+1”.

In the universe of rational numbers, with the usual interpretation of “+” and “<“, this sentence is true.

In the universe of integers, this sentence is false.

Further Examples1) Similar quantifiers are order independent

2) Different quantifiers are not

3) If P is true of an object, so is Q

4) This is the negation of the above: for some object, P is true but Q is false.

Relations between negation, universal and existential quantifiers

~X p(X) = X ~p(X)

~ X p(X) = X ~ p(X)

X p(X) = Y p(Y)

X q(X) = Y q(Y)

X (p(X) q(X)) = X p(X) Y q(Y)

X (p(X) q(X)) = X p(X) Y q(Y)

Negation of Quantified Statements“All math majors are male”

“It is not the case that all math majors are male” or “There exists at least one math major who is a female”

M- the set of math majors( x M)(x is a male) (x M)(x is not male)

( x M)p(x) (x M) p(x) or x p(x) x p

De Morgans Law

(xA)p(x) ( xA) p(x)

( xA) p(x) (xA) p(x)

e.g. “For all positive integers n we have n+2 >8”“There exists a positive integer n such that n+2not>8”

Negating Quantified Statements with More than One Variable

e.g. [(x y z, p(x,y,z)] x [y z, p(x,y,z)]

x y [ z, p(x,y,z)] x y z, p(x,y,z)]

e.g. L is the limit of a sequence

LannNnfollowsa n,,,0 .....,......... 001

L is not the limit of the sequence LannNnaa n,,,0 when ...,........., 0021
