  2. Rule of inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_inference

    In the rule (schema) above, the metavariables A and B can be instantiated to any element of the universe (or sometimes, by convention, a restricted subset such as propositions) to form an infinite set of inference rules. A proof system is formed from a set of rules chained together to form proofs, also called derivations. Any derivation has ...

  3. List of rules of inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rules_of_inference

    Rules of inference are syntactical transform rules which one can use to infer a conclusion from a premise to create an argument. A set of rules can be used to infer any valid conclusion if it is complete, while never inferring an invalid conclusion, if it is sound.

  4. Material implication (rule of inference) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_implication_(rule...

    In propositional logic, material implication [1] [2] is a valid rule of replacement that allows a conditional statement to be replaced by a disjunction in which the antecedent is negated. The rule states that P implies Q is logically equivalent to not-or and that either form can replace the other in logical proofs.

  5. De Morgan's laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

    De Morgan's laws represented with Venn diagrams.In each case, the resultant set is the set of all points in any shade of blue. In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, [1] [2] [3] also known as De Morgan's theorem, [4] are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference.

  6. Conjunction elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction_elimination

    In propositional logic, conjunction elimination (also called and elimination, ∧ elimination, [1] or simplification) [2] [3] [4] is a valid immediate inference, argument form and rule of inference which makes the inference that, if the conjunction A and B is true, then A is true, and B is true.

  7. Absorption (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(logic)

    Absorption is a valid argument form and rule of inference of propositional logic. [1] [2] The rule states that if implies , then implies and .The rule makes it possible to introduce conjunctions to proofs.

  8. Exportation (logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exportation_(logic)

    where the rule is that wherever an instance of "()" appears on a line of a proof, it can be replaced with "()", and vice versa. Import-export is a name given to the statement as a theorem or truth-functional tautology of propositional logic:

  9. Disjunction elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunction_elimination

    In propositional logic, disjunction elimination [1] [2] (sometimes named proof by cases, case analysis, or or elimination) is the valid argument form and rule of inference that allows one to eliminate a disjunctive statement from a logical proof.
