Modal logic

Predicate abstraction

In logic, predicate abstraction is the result of creating a predicate from a sentence. If Q is any formula then the predicate abstract formed from that sentence is (λy.Q), where λ is an abstraction operator and in which every occurrence of y occurs bound by λ in (λy.Q). The resultant predicate (λx.Q(x)) is a monadic predicate capable of taking a term t as argument as in (λx.Q(x))(t), which says that the object denoted by 't' has the property of being such that Q. The law of abstraction states ( λx.Q(x) )(t) ≡ Q(t/x) where Q(t/x) is the result of replacing all free occurrences of x in Q by t. This law is shown to fail in general in at least two cases: (i) when t is irreferential and (ii) when Q contains modal operators. In modal logic the "de re / de dicto distinction" is stated as 1. (DE DICTO): 2. (DE RE): . In (1) the modal operator applies to the formula A(t) and the term t is within the scope of the modal operator. In (2) t is not within the scope of the modal operator.

Predicates and their Truth Sets

A predicate is a sentence that depends on the value of a variable. For instance, "x is greater than 3". If you tell me a specific value of x, like 7 or 2, then the predicate becomes a logical statement which is either true or false. The Truth Set of a predicate is all of the values of the

Pre-Calculus - Determine if a function is one to one

When getting ready for inverse functions, you'll often hear a lot of information on one to one functions. So what exactly is a one to one function? This video will help out with that, as well as show ways you can test if a relation is a one to one function using the vertical and horizont
