Class 14 : *** Proof system for logic ** Desirable properties of a proof system ** Proof systems has a set of axioms (AXIOMS) and rules (R). ** Set of formulas provable in the system = I(AXIOMS, R). Alternatively, provable formulas have legal construction sequences over AXIOMS and R. ** Hilbert's proof system for Propositional Logic: * Axioms : * Ax1 : (\alpha --> (\beta --> \alpha)) * Ax2 : ( (\alpha --> (\beta --> \gamma)) --> ((\alpha --> \beta) --> (\alpha --> \gamma)) ) * Ax3 : ( (\neg \beta --> \neg \alpha) --> (\alpha --> \beta) ) * Rules : Modus Ponens If we have proofs of \alpha, \(alpha --> \beta) then we can derive \beta ** Example : proved (\alpha --> \alpha) in Hilbert's proof system.
