  2. Logical disjunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_disjunction

    Because the logical or means a disjunction formula is true when either one or both of its parts are true, it is referred to as an inclusive disjunction. This is in contrast with an exclusive disjunction, which is true when one or the other of the arguments are true, but not both (referred to as exclusive or, or XOR).

  3. Logical connective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_connective

    Sometimes precedence between conjunction and disjunction is unspecified requiring to provide it explicitly in given formula with parentheses. The order of precedence determines which connective is the "main connective" when interpreting a non-atomic formula.

  4. Logical conjunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction

    In logic, mathematics and linguistics, and is the truth-functional operator of conjunction or logical conjunction. The logical connective of this operator is typically represented as ∧ {\displaystyle \wedge } [ 1 ] or & {\displaystyle \&} or K {\displaystyle K} (prefix) or × {\displaystyle \times } or ⋅ {\displaystyle \cdot } [ 2 ] in ...

  5. Conjunction/disjunction duality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction/disjunction...

    In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, there is a duality between conjunction and disjunction, [1] [2] [3] also called the duality principle. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It is the most widely known example of duality in logic. [ 1 ]

  6. Clause (logic) - Wikipedia

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

    In logic, a clause is a propositional formula formed from a finite collection of literals (atoms or their negations) and logical connectives.A clause is true either whenever at least one of the literals that form it is true (a disjunctive clause, the most common use of the term), or when all of the literals that form it are true (a conjunctive clause, a less common use of the term).

  7. 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 ...

  8. Disjunctive normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjunctive_normal_form

    A logical formula is considered to be in DNF if it is a disjunction of one or more conjunctions of one or more literals. [2] [3] [4] A DNF formula is in full disjunctive normal form if each of its variables appears exactly once in every conjunction and each conjunction appears at most once (up to the order of variables).

  9. Propositional calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_calculus

    It deals with propositions [1] (which can be true or false) [10] and relations between propositions, [11] including the construction of arguments based on them. [12] Compound propositions are formed by connecting propositions by logical connectives representing the truth functions of conjunction, disjunction, implication, biconditional, and ...
