    Exportation [1] [2] [3] [4] is a valid rule of replacement in propositional logic.The rule allows conditional statements having conjunctive antecedents to be replaced ...

  3. 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- P {\displaystyle P} or Q {\displaystyle Q} and that either form can replace the other in ...

  4. Rule of replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_replacement

    In logic, a rule of replacement [1] [2] [3] is a transformation rule that may be applied to only a particular segment of an expression. A logical system may be constructed so that it uses either axioms, rules of inference, or both as transformation rules for logical expressions in the system. Whereas a rule of inference is always applied to a ...

    Chrome steel knife. Chrome steel is the name for any one of a class of non-stainless steels such as AISI 52100, SUJ2, 100Cr6, [1] En31, 100C6, and DIN 5401 which are used for applications such as bearings, tools, drills and utensils.

    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.

  7. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures

    In materials science, a general rule of mixtures is a weighted mean used to predict various properties of a composite material. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It provides a theoretical upper- and lower-bound on properties such as the elastic modulus , ultimate tensile strength , thermal conductivity , and electrical conductivity . [ 3 ]

  8. Modus tollens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modus_tollens

    Every use of modus tollens can be converted to a use of modus ponens and one use of transposition to the premise which is a material implication. For example: If P, then Q. (premise – material implication) If not Q, then not P. (derived by transposition) Not Q. (premise) Therefore, not P. (derived by modus ponens)

  9. Resolution (logic) - Wikipedia

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

    Traugott's rule may yield a sharper resolvent: compare (5) and (10), which both resolve (1) and (2) on =. Murray's rule introduced 3 new disjunction symbols: in (5), (6), and (7), while Traugott's rule did not introduce any new symbol; in this sense, Traugott's intermediate formulas resemble the user's style more closely than Murray's.
