  2. Quantifier elimination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantifier_elimination

    Quantifier elimination is a concept of simplification used in mathematical logic, model theory, and theoretical computer science. Informally, a quantified statement " ∃ x {\displaystyle \exists x} such that … {\displaystyle \ldots } " can be viewed as a question "When is there an x {\displaystyle x} such that … {\displaystyle \ldots ...

  3. Elimination theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_theory

    Quantifier elimination is a term used in mathematical logic to explain that, in some theories, every formula is equivalent to a formula without quantifier. This is the case of the theory of polynomials over an algebraically closed field , where elimination theory may be viewed as the theory of the methods to make quantifier elimination ...

  4. Skolem normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skolem_normal_form

    The Skolem term () contains , but not , because the quantifier to be removed is in the scope of , but not in that of ; since this formula is in prenex normal form, this is equivalent to saying that, in the list of quantifiers, precedes while does not. The formula obtained by this transformation is satisfiable if and only if the original formula is.

  5. Quantifier (logic) - Wikipedia

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

    In logic, a quantifier is an operator that specifies how many individuals in the domain of discourse satisfy an open formula. For instance, the universal quantifier ∀ {\displaystyle \forall } in the first order formula ∀ x P ( x ) {\displaystyle \forall xP(x)} expresses that everything in the domain satisfies the property denoted by P ...

  6. Tarski–Seidenberg theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski–Seidenberg_theorem

    It implies that quantifier elimination is possible over the reals, that is that every formula constructed from polynomial equations and inequalities by logical connectives ∨ (or), ∧ (and), ¬ (not) and quantifiers ∀ (for all), ∃ (exists) is equivalent to a similar formula without quantifiers.

  7. Decidability of first-order theories of the real numbers

    September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this message) In mathematical logic , a first-order language of the real numbers is the set of all well-formed sentences of first-order logic that involve universal and existential quantifiers and logical combinations of equalities and inequalities of expressions over real variables.

    Animation of Gaussian elimination. Red row eliminates the following rows, green rows change their order. In mathematics, Gaussian elimination, also known as row reduction, is an algorithm for solving systems of linear equations.
