  2. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  3. Negation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negation

    In logic, negation, also called the logical not or logical complement, is an operation that takes a proposition to another proposition "not ", written , , ′ [1] or ¯. [citation needed] It is interpreted intuitively as being true when is false, and false when is true.

  4. Proof of impossibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_impossibility

    In mathematics, an impossibility theorem is a theorem that demonstrates a problem or general set of problems cannot be solved. These are also known as proofs of impossibility, negative proofs, or negative results. Impossibility theorems often resolve decades or centuries of work spent looking for a solution by proving there is no solution.

  5. Double negation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negation

    In propositional logic, the double negation of a statement states that "it is not the case that the statement is not true". In classical logic, every statement is logically equivalent to its double negation, but this is not true in intuitionistic logic; this can be expressed by the formula A ≡ ~(~A) where the sign ≡ expresses logical equivalence and the sign ~ expresses negation.

  7. Literal (mathematical logic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literal_(mathematical_logic)

    A negative literal is the negation of an atom (e.g., ). The polarity of a literal is positive or negative depending on whether it is a positive or negative literal. In logics with double negation elimination (where ¬ ¬ x ≡ x {\displaystyle \lnot \lnot x\equiv x} ) the complementary literal or complement of a literal l {\displaystyle l} can ...

  8. List of rules of inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rules_of_inference

    Each logic operator can be used in an assertion about variables and operations, showing a basic rule of inference. Examples: The column-14 operator (OR), shows Addition rule: when p=T (the hypothesis selects the first two lines of the table), we see (at column-14) that p∨q=T.

    [1] [13] Examples of such compound sentences might include: Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and millions already have. (conjunction) It is not true that all Wikipedia editors speak at least three languages. (negation) Either London is the capital of England, or London is the capital of the United Kingdom, or both ...
