About inference rule (Definition) In logic , an inference rule is a rule whereby one may correctly draw a conclusion from one or more premises. For example, the law of the contrapositive allows one to conclude a statement of the form from a premise of the form Here, ` ' and ` ' are propositional variables , which can stand for arbitrary propositions . A popular way to indicate applications of rules of inference is to list the premises above a line and write the conclusions below the line. For instance, we might indicate the law of the contrapositive thus: A typical application of the law of contrapositive would be to conclude "If my clothes are dry, then it is not raining", from "If it rains, then my clothes will be wet." which could be expressed as follows using the notation described above: (In this instance

Next: Preface to the Hypertext Up: Contents Previous: Contents Contents Preface It is not the purpose of this book to expound the principles of computer arithmetic algorithms, nor does it presume to offer instruction in the art of arithmetic circuit design. A variety of publications spanning these subjects have become available in recent years, including general texts as well as more specialized treatments, covering all areas of functionality and aspects of implementation. There is one relevant issue, however, that remains to be adequately addressed, namely the problem of eliminating human error from arithmetic hardware designs and establishing their ultimate correctness. As in all areas of computer architecture, the designer of arithmetic circuitry is preoccupied with efficiency. His objective is the rapid development of logic that maximizes execution speed, guided by established practices and intuition. Subtle conceptual errors and miscalculations are accepted as inevitable, with the expectation that they will be eliminated through extensive testing. Naturally, as implementations grow in complexity through the use of increasingly sophisticated techniques, errors become more difficult to detect. Experience has shown that testing alone is insufficient to provide a satisfactory level of confidence in the functional correctness of a state-of-the-art floating-point unit. In order to ensure the correctness of complex implementations of arithmetic operations while reducing reliance on testing, a more scrupulous approach to the design and analysis of arithmetic circuits is imperative. Loose concepts, intuition, and arguments by example must be replaced by formal development, explicit theorems, and rigorous proofs.

I (Mathematics On the Web: Get it by Logic and Interfaces) is a European Project founded by the European Community in the ``Information Society Technologies'' (IST) Program. The project partners are the University of Bologna (coordinator), the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI Saarbrücken), Katholieke Universiteit Nijmegen, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, TU Berlin), and Trusted Logic (France). The aim of the project is the study and the development of a technological infrastructure for the the creation and maintenance of a virtual, distributed, hypertextual library of mathematical knowledge based on a content description of the information. Currently, almost all mathematical documents available on the Web are marked up only for presentation, severely crippling the potential for added-value services like concept-oriented navigation and information retrieval, data mining or document personalization.

To Table of Contents No.1 Witold Marciszewski and Roman Murawski MECHANIZATION OF REASONING A Schematic Historical Survey This survey is identical with the table of contents of the book by the same authors entitled Mechanization of Reasoning in a Historical Perspective , published by Editions Rodopi, Amsterdam 1995. The table is so detailed that that it can function as a distinct text (linked with with other ones in this issue), provided that it is introduced by the following comment. The development of logic displays new and illuminating aspects when seen from the angle of mechanized reasoning. Even those who doubt in the use of logical theories as a guide for common sense or scientific research have to agree that they proved indispensable for producing reasoning machines. The story has three turning points which most concisely can be listed with the three following terms: formalization (started in the Middle Ages, appreciated and developed by Leibniz), algebraization (started by Leibniz and his contemporaries, accomplished by Boole at al), elimination of the quantifiers (Skolem, Hilbert, Gentzen et al) to reduce the whole of logic to its algebraized and finitistic part.

OWL is based on Description Logics (DLs), a family of logical formalisms for representing and reasoning about conceptual and terminological knowledge. Among these, the logic ALC is a ground DL used in many practical cases. Moreover, the Semantic Web apears as a new field for the application of formal methods, that could be used to increase it reliability. A starting point could be the formal verification of satisfiability provers for DLs. In this paper, we present the PVS specification of a prover for ALC, as well as the proofs of its termination, soundness and completeness. We also present the formalization of the well-foundedness of the multiset relation induced by a well-founded relation. This result has been used to prove the termination and the completeness of the ALC prover. Proof Pearl: Looping around the Orbit Steven Obua We reexamine the While combinator of higher-order logic (HOL) and introduce the For combinator. We argue that both combinators should be part of the toolbox of any HOL practitioner, not only because they make efficient computations within HOL possible, but also because they facilitate elegant inductive reasoning about loops. We present two examples that support this argument.

21. PVS Introduction PVS expressions provide the usual arithmetic and logical operators, proofs yield scripts that can be edited, attached to additional formulas, and rerun. http://pvs.csl.sri.com/introduction.shtml

Home Intro Wiki Docs ... FM Tools PVS Introduction PVS is a mechanized environment for formal specification and verification. It builds on over 25 years experience at SRI in developing and using tools to support formal methods. PVS consists of a specification language, a number of predefined theories, a type checker, an interactive theorem prover that supports the use of several decision procedures and a symbolic model checker, various utilities including a code generator and a random tester, documentation, formalized libraries, and examples that illustrate different methods of using the system in several application areas. By exploiting the synergy between a highly expressive specification language and powerful automated deduction, PVS serves as a productive environment for constructing and maintaining large formalizations and proofs. PVS Language PVS Theorem Prover PVS includes a BDD-based decision procedure for the relational mu-calculus and thereby provides an experimental integration between theorem proving and CTL model checking. PVS has recently been extended to use the Yices SMT solver as an endgame prover and an infinite-state bounded model checker, the PVSio framework for evaluating ground PVS expressions, and a random testing capability that can be used during proofs. PVS User Interface PVS uses Gnu or X Emacs to provide an integrated interface to its specification language and prover. Commands can be selected either by pull-down menus or by extended Emacs commands. Extensive help, status-reporting and browsing tools are available, as well as the ability to generate typeset specifications (in user-defined notation) using LaTeX. Proof trees and theory hierarchies can be displayed graphically using Tcl/Tk.

May 9 meeting Speaker: Yegor Bryukhov (CCNY) Topic: Matrix-based proof method, part 2. In this second part of the talk we will try to use an implementation of matrix-based prover in MetaPRL for S4nJ. We'll try to prove some facts, talk about its performance and the ways of controlling the search space manually. Time permitting, I'll mention the recent paper of Jens Otten "Clausal Connection-Based Theorem Proving in Intuitionisitc First-Order Logic", how he performs a dynamic increase of multiplicity and how it can be added to the existing prover in MetaPRL. May 2 meeting Speaker: Bryan Renne (Graduate Center) Topic: Propositional games and explicit strategies We present a game semantics for the Logic of Proofs, where terms are interpreted as specific strategies on the subformula-choosing evaluation games familiar from propositional (or first-order) logic. Under this interpretation of terms, the LP term operations act as specific operations on strategies. We will close with a discussion of potential interaction with other logic games.

Hidden Algebra Homepage Contents Brief Overview Latest Hidden Results Brief Hidden Bibliography Interactive Examples ... Other Links A Brief Overview of Hidden Algebra Hidden algebra aims to give a semantics for software engineering, and in particular for concurrent distributed object systems, supporting correctness proofs that are as simple and mechanized as possible. This emphasis on effective proofs rather than semantic modelling is supported by taking a calculational approach based on equations , rather than one based on, for example, higher order logic, type theory, denotational semantics, or any particular kind of model or set theory, because equational proofs achieve maximal simplicity and mechanization, while still allowing adequate expressiveness. It is also convenient that the models of a hidden algebraic specification are precisely its possible implementations. Hidden algebra effectively handles the most troubling features of large systems, including concurrency, distribution, nondeterminism, and local states, as well as the usual features of the object paradigm, including classes, subclasses (inheritance), attributes and methods, in addition to supporting logical variables (as in logic programming), abstract data types, generic modules and more generally, the very powerful module system of prameterized programming. Hidden algebra generalizes the process algebra and transition system approaches to include non-monadic operations, so that it can take advantage of equations involving methods and attributes parameterized by data; this extra power can also dramatically simplify proofs. Coinduction methods appear to be more effective for behavioral properties (including behavioral refinement) than any alternative of which we are aware, and moreover, they can be automated to a very significant degree.

28. Deduction In Classical And Multiple-Valued Logic Since the symbols (other than the logical operators) of a valid formula may be In a similar manner, dissolution can simulate another proof method, http://www.cs.albany.edu/~nvm/research_lay-abbrev.html

Neil V. Murray Research Synopsis: Automated Deduction concerns the automation of "theorem proving" and similar (sometimes more general) processes like "inference" or "deduction". As J. A. Robinson has elegantly stated: ``. . . a theorem-proving problem can be solved automatically if it can be solved at all. That is to say, if [a conclusion] B does follow from the given [hypotheses] A1, A2, ...,An then this fact can be detected, automatically, by executing a certain purely clerical algorithm on A1, ...,An and B as input.'' Most research efforts in (and the above remarks about) automatic theorem proving are based on Herbrand's theorem. This theorem helped lay the foundation for mechanizing the discovery of proofs in mathematical logic. Put in lay terms, Herbrand's theorem says that valid logical formulas can be proven to be so by analyzing only the structure and symbols of those formulas. Since the symbols (other than the logical operators) of a valid formula may be interpreted in arbitrary ways over arbitrary domains of discourse without affecting the truth of the formula, this is a remarkable theorem. Initially, Robinson's resolution rule dominated research into automated deduction; even now, it is the most widely employed technique, and it is the basis of OTTER, arguably the most successful theorem proving program ever developed. Robinson's rule, and many of its variants that have been subsequently introduced, require formulas to be normalized in special ways typically conjunctive or disjunctive normal form (CNF or DNF). Although such normalization simplifies analysis and implementation, it can be computationally expensive: Normalizing a formula may cause a great increase in size.

The chosen specification environment is UNITY, whose proposed model can be fruitfully applied to a wide variety of problems and modified or extended for special purposes. Moreover, UNITY provides a high level of abstraction to express solutions to parallel programming problems. We investigate how the UNITY methodology can be mechanized within a general-purpose first-order logic theorem prover like LP, and how we can use the theorem proving methodology to prove safety and liveness properties. Then we describe the formalization and the verification of a communication protocol over faulty channels, using the Larch prover LP. We present the full computer-checked proof, and we show that a theorem prover can be used to detect flaws in a system specification.

Credits Coq is a proof assistant for higher-order logic, allowing the development of computer programs consistent with their formal specification. It is the result of about ten years of research of the Coq project. We shall briefly survey here three main aspects: the logical language in which we write our axiomatizations and specifications, the proof assistant which allows the development of verified mathematical proofs, and the program extractor which synthesizes computer programs obeying their formal specifications, written as logical assertions in the language. The logical language used by Coq is a variety of type theory, called the Calculus of Inductive Constructions . Without going back to Leibniz and Boole, we can date the creation of what is now called mathematical logic to the work of Frege and Peano at the turn of the century. The discovery of antinomies in the free use of predicates or comprehension principles prompted Russell to restrict predicate calculus with a stratification of types . This effort culminated with Principia Mathematica , the first systematic attempt at a formal foundation of mathematics. A simplification of this system along the lines of simply typed

university search sitemap contact ... Links Institute of Formal Methods in Computer Science Software Reliability and Security Group Verification of Infinite State Systems Cooperations Publications Links Research on the verification of infinite-state systems was started in 1994. We follow essentially two lines of research: On the one hand, we study the decidability and complexity of verification problems for different classes of infinite automata that can be organized in a Chomsky-like hierarchy. On the other hand, we are interested in the machine-assisted verification of infinite-state and parameterized systems within process classes for which the verification is potentially undecidable. The results find application in the area of program optimization (in particular in the interprocedural dataflow analysis), and in the verification of parameterized systems. Decidability and Complexity of Verification Problems We have established several results about the decidability and computational complexity of the model checking problem for a hierarchy of Process Rewrite Systems (PRS) including context-free processes, Basic Parallel Processes, and Petri nets. The PRS hierarchy presents a unified view of all these models. It is strict with respect to bisimulation equivalence. I.e., in every class there exists a process that is not bisimilar to any process from the lower classes. Similar hierarchies have been defined by Stirling, Caucal, and Moller [ The model checking problem is as follows:

Why there can be no One Perfect Language All programming language, all computers, computers running programs by a certain language are all essentially formal systems. This feature allows us to discuss things and apply things and proofs from logic on the capabilities of languages. Formal System In the most basic sense, a formal system is a system of logic that allows us to "reason" mechanically. A formal system is composed of: a syntax which describes how to form a proper expression in the system. Formally called well formed formulae A formal language, valid strings formed with our alphabet and some starting wffs or Axioms. A theorem in our system is a list of sentences with the first being an axiom or a proven wff (theorem) and every sentence within being a result of transformations which follow our rules - the last sentence in our string is a theorem. Formal Language A formal language is in the most basic sense a set of strings over some alphabet or rather, a proper subset of the set of all possible strings that may be composed with some alphabet, with an alphabet being no more than a set of symbols. Formal languages are devoid of ambiguities common to natural languages as English or Chinese (in fact there is no inherent meaning to the set of string or sentences formed in them), they are mechanically manipulable. That is, a computer can follow instructions formed in them. They were originally developed with formal logics and the wish to make math completely mechanized and in essence, air tight. All programming languages contain formal languages. In fact the term programming language is a misnomer since most programming languages are more than just languages. They are entire systems, indeed the term computer programming system would be more appropriate than computer programming language. This argument for this will be given informally later.

6th Panhellenic Logic Symposium Volos, Greece, 5-8 July 2007 Programme Thursday 5.7.07 Registration - Opening Constantine Tsinakis (Vanderbilt University): Algebraic Methods in Logic Algebraic logic studies classes of algebras that are related to logical systems, as well as the process by which a class of algebras becomes the algebraic counterpart (semantics)" of a logical system. A field practitioner usually approaches the solution of a problem in logic by first reformulating it in the language of algebra; then by using algebra to solve the reformulated problem; and lastly by expressing the result into the language of logic. A representative association of the preceding kind is the one between the class of Boolean algebras and classical propositional calculus. The focus of this talk is substructural logics and their algebraic counterparts. Substructural logics are non-classical logics that are weaker than classical logic, in the sense that they lack one or more of the structural rules of contraction, weakening and exchange in their Genzen-style axiomatization. (It is, however, convenient to think of the classical logic and intuitionistic logic as substructural logics.) These logics encompass a large number of non-classical logics related to computer science (linear logic), linguistics (Lambek Calculus), philosophy (relevant logics), and multi-valued reasoning. The following are among the objectives of the talk: Propose a uniform framework for the study of the algebraic counter-parts of substructural propositional logics. These algebras, referred to as residuated lattices, have a recently discovered rich structure theory. (Note: The term "residuated lattice" has been used in the literature to refer to algebras that are integral, commutative and bounded. This class and its subclasses are not sufficiently general to provide semantics for all substructural logics.)

Next: Specification of the JVM Up: An Executable Formal Java Previous: Abstract Formal Executable Models ``Formal Methods'' is the name given to the computer science research area devoted to the use of formal mathematical logic to model and analyze the properties of computing systems. One advantage of modeling a system formally is that proofs about it can be checked by mechanical proof checkers. This increases the odds that the proofs are flawless. Automated mechanical theorem provers can be used to help discover proofs, which can significantly reduce the tedium of constructing formal proofs. This is not pie-in-the-sky formal methods proposal boilerplate. It is happening. At Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., formal models of the hardware designs for the floating-point FDIV instruction on the AMD Athlon have been mechanically proved to be compliant with the IEEE-754 standard. Indeed, all of the elementary floating-point operations on the Athlon (including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root) have been so proved. Important security properties of the IBM 4758 secure co-processor were mechanically verified at IBM Yorktown. The correctness of an auditor that checks the output of a compiler for safety-critical trainborn real-time control software for Union Switch and Signal was mechanically proved. A bit- and cycle-accurate model of a Motorola digital signal processor was mechanically proved to conform to a higher-level sequential view in which the pipeline was abstracted away - provided the microcode being executed was free of a well-defined set of hazards. Several microcoded DSP algorithms extracted from the ROM of that microprocessor were mechanically proved correct. These applications, and others, are described in [

Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Logic and Artificial Intelligence First published Wed 27 Aug, 2003 Artificial Intelligence (which I'll refer to hereafter by its nickname, "AI") is the subfield of Computer Science devoted to developing programs that enable computers to display behavior that can (broadly) be characterized as intelligent. Most research in AI is devoted to fairly narrow applications, such as planning or speech-to-speech translation in limited, well defined task domains. But substantial interest remains in the long-range goal of building generally intelligent, autonomous agents. Throughout its relatively short history, AI has been heavily influenced by logical ideas. AI has drawn on many research methodologies; the value and relative importance of logical formalisms is questioned by some leading practitioners, and has been debated in the literature from time to time. But most members of the AI community would agree that logic has an important role to play in at least some central areas of AI research, and an influential minority considers logic to be the most important factor in developing strategic, fundamental advances. The relations between AI and philosophical logic are part of a larger story. It is hard to find a major philosophical theme that doesn't become entangled with issues having to do with reasoning. Implicatures, for instance, have to correspond to inferences that can be carried out by a rational interpreter of discourse. Whatever causality is, causal relations should be inferrable in everyday common sense settings. Whatever belief is, it should be possible for rational agents to make plausible inferences about the beliefs of other agents. The goals and standing constraints that inform a rational agent's behavior must permit the formation of reasonable plans.

The logic FOLD-nabla is itself an extension of intuitionistic logic with fixed points and a ``generic quantifier'', nabla, which is used to reason about the dynamics of bindings in object systems encoded in the logic. A previous attempt to extend FOLD-nabla with an induction principle has been unsuccessful in modeling some behaviours of bindings in inductive specifications. It turns out that this problem can be solved by relaxing some restrictions on nabla, in particular by adding the axiom B nabla x. B, where x is not free in B. We show that by adopting the equivariance principle, the presentation of the extended logic can be much simplified. Cut-elimination for the extended logic is stated, and some applications in reasoning about an object logic and a simply typed lambda-calculus are illustrated.

Understanding Ontologies in Scholarly Disciplines Brian R Gaines Knowledge Science Institute University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada gaines@ucalgary.ca Description logics are valuable for modeling the conceptual structures of scientific and engineering research because the underlying ontologies generally have a taxonomic core. Such structures have natural representations through semantic networks that mirror the underlying description logic graph-theoretic structures and are more comprehensible than logical notations to those developing and studying the models. This article reports experience in the development of visual language tools for description logics with the objective of making research issues, past and present, more understandable. 1 Introduction Scholarship may be conceptualized as the rational reconstruction of intuitive notions within the conventions of a discipline. When scholarly disciplines examine their foundations the outcome is generally a taxonomy based on logical definitions intended to capture the concepts of the primary researchers and to clarify the differences underlying disagreements. The development and analysis of such taxonomies can be helpful to active research communities attempting to clarify their activities, and it is also significant in retrospect to historians reconstructing the conceptual structures of those recognized as major contributors to the growth of human knowledge. Description logics managed through visual languages isomorphic to the underlying graph-theoretic structures, and visually transformable through well-defined deductive processes, offer an attractive technology to support both historic studies and active research communities.

52. Teaching Freshman Logic With MIZAR-MSE The logic must be so automatic that you can focus on the problem at hand. The use of a mechanized proof checker is crucial in achieving this goal. http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~hoover/dimacs-teaching-logic/paper.html

Teaching freshman logic with MIZAR-MSE H. James Hoover and Piotr Rudnicki Department of Computing Science University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6J 2H1 [hoover,piotr]@cs.ualberta.ca http://www.ualberta.ca/[,] June 25, 1996 Introduction We would like to share our experience of using a proof-checker in teaching introductory logic to first year science students who plan to enroll into computing science. For several years, we have been teaching an introduction to predicate logic as a part of a course which also covers: (a) elementary material of discrete mathematics (sets, relations, functions, and induction), and (b) reasoning about iterative programming constructs using variants and invariants. The presentation of the material from these three areas is spread over the thirteen week course. The logic component of the course stresses the practical skills of deductive reasoning in predicate calculus. We use the MIZAR-MSE proof-checker to check students' assignments-typically about 50 small proofs for the course. The syntax of the MIZAR-MSE input language is a notation of natural deduction derived from the style of Gentzen, Jaskowski and Fitch. We have chosen a logical system which is an extension of a natural deduction system for the following two reasons: Jaskowski's goal (see [ ] reprinted in [ ]) was to identify the methods used by mathematicians in their proofs, ``to put those methods under the form of structural rules and to analyze their relation to the theory of deduction.'' Inspection shows that he has achieved his goal: indeed the proof structures of his logical system are frequently used by proof authors. It is worthwhile noting here that Jaskowski did not use the term
