Each kind of quantification defines a corresponding closure operator on the set of formulas, by adding, for each free variable x, a quantifier to bind x. [9] For example, the existential closure of the open formula n >2 ∧ x n + y n = z n is the closed formula ∃ n ∃ x ∃ y ∃ z ( n >2 ∧ x n + y n = z n ); the latter formula, when ...
A graphical representation of a partially built propositional tableau. In proof theory, the semantic tableau [1] (/ t æ ˈ b l oʊ, ˈ t æ b l oʊ /; plural: tableaux), also called an analytic tableau, [2] truth tree, [1] or simply tree, [2] is a decision procedure for sentential and related logics, and a proof procedure for formulae of first-order logic.

A counting quantifier is a mathematical term for a quantifier of the form "there exists at least k elements that satisfy property X". In first-order logic with equality, counting quantifiers can be defined in terms of ordinary quantifiers, so in this context they are a notational shorthand.
Filter quantifiers are a type of logical quantifier which, informally, say whether or not a statement is true for "most" elements of . Such quantifiers are often used in combinatorics , model theory (such as when dealing with ultraproducts ), and in other fields of mathematical logic where (ultra)filters are used.
Some of the details can be found in the article Lindström quantifier. Conditional quantifiers are meant to capture certain properties concerning conditional reasoning at an abstract level. Generally, it is intended to clarify the role of conditionals in a first-order language as they relate to other connectives, such as conjunction or ...
The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [ 1 ] and the LaTeX symbol.
In computational complexity theory, the language TQBF is a formal language consisting of the true quantified Boolean formulas.A (fully) quantified Boolean formula is a formula in quantified propositional logic (also known as Second-order propositional logic) where every variable is quantified (or bound), using either existential or universal quantifiers, at the beginning of the sentence.
