  2. De Morgan's laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

    De Morgan's laws represented with Venn diagrams.In each case, the resultant set is the set of all points in any shade of blue. In propositional logic and Boolean algebra, De Morgan's laws, [1] [2] [3] also known as De Morgan's theorem, [4] are a pair of transformation rules that are both valid rules of inference.

  3. De Morgan algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan_algebra

    (i.e. an involution that additionally satisfies De Morgan's laws) In a De Morgan algebra, the laws ¬x ∨ x = 1 (law of the excluded middle), and; ¬x ∧ x = 0 (law of noncontradiction) do not always hold. In the presence of the De Morgan laws, either law implies the other, and an algebra which satisfies them becomes a Boolean algebra.

  4. Conjunctive normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunctive_normal_form

    In Boolean algebra, a formula is in conjunctive normal form (CNF) or clausal normal form if it is a conjunction of one or more clauses, where a clause is a disjunction of literals; otherwise put, it is a product of sums or an AND of ORs.

    Then we have by the law of excluded middle [clarification needed] (i.e. either must be true, or must not be true). Subsequently, since P → Q {\displaystyle P\to Q} , P {\displaystyle P} can be replaced by Q {\displaystyle Q} in the statement, and thus it follows that ¬ P ∨ Q {\displaystyle \neg P\lor Q} (i.e. either Q {\displaystyle Q ...

  7. Augustus De Morgan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_De_Morgan

    Augustus De Morgan (27 June 1806 – 18 March 1871) was a British mathematician and logician.He is best known for De Morgan's laws, relating logical conjunction, disjunction, and negation, and for coining the term "mathematical induction", the underlying principles of which he formalized. [1]

  8. Classical logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_logic

    With the advent of algebraic logic, it became apparent that classical propositional calculus admits other semantics.In Boolean-valued semantics (for classical propositional logic), the truth values are the elements of an arbitrary Boolean algebra; "true" corresponds to the maximal element of the algebra, and "false" corresponds to the minimal element.

  9. 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.
