    is true only if both A and B are false, or both A and B are true. Whether a symbol means a material biconditional or a logical equivalence , depends on the author’s style. x + 5 = y + 2 ⇔ x + 3 = y {\displaystyle x+5=y+2\Leftrightarrow x+3=y}

  3. If and only if - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_and_only_if

    The corresponding logical symbols are "", "", [6] and , [10] and sometimes "iff".These are usually treated as equivalent. However, some texts of mathematical logic (particularly those on first-order logic, rather than propositional logic) make a distinction between these, in which the first, ↔, is used as a symbol in logic formulas, while ⇔ is used in reasoning about those logic formulas ...

  4. Logical biconditional - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_biconditional

    Venn diagram of (true part in red) In logic and mathematics, the logical biconditional, also known as material biconditional or equivalence or biimplication or bientailment, is the logical connective used to conjoin two statements and to form the statement "if and only if" (often abbreviated as "iff " [1]), where is known as the antecedent, and the consequent.

  5. Logical equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_equivalence

    This statement expresses the idea "' if and only if '". In particular, the truth value of p ↔ q {\displaystyle p\leftrightarrow q} can change from one model to another. On the other hand, the claim that two formulas are logically equivalent is a statement in metalanguage , which expresses a relationship between two statements p {\displaystyle ...

    Therefore, in this article, the Unicode version of the symbols is used (when possible) for labelling their entry, and the LaTeX version is used in their description. So, for finding how to type a symbol in LaTeX, it suffices to look at the source of the article. For most symbols, the entry name is the corresponding Unicode symbol.

  7. Join and meet - Wikipedia

    If (,) is a partially ordered set, such that each pair of elements in has a meet, then indeed = if and only if , since in the latter case indeed is a lower bound of , and since is the greatest lower bound if and only if it is a lower bound. Thus, the partial order defined by the meet in the universal algebra approach coincides with the original ...

  8. Up tack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_tack

    The glyph of the up tack appears as an upside-down tee symbol, and as such is sometimes called eet (the word "tee" in reverse). [citation needed] Tee plays a complementary or dual role in many of these theories. The similar-looking perpendicular symbol ( , \perp in LaTeX, U+27C2 in Unicode) is a binary relation symbol used to represent:

  9. Uniqueness quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniqueness_quantification

    In mathematics and logic, the term "uniqueness" refers to the property of being the one and only object satisfying a certain condition. [1] This sort of quantification is known as uniqueness quantification or unique existential quantification, and is often denoted with the symbols "∃!" [2] or "∃ =1". For example, the formal statement
