The simplest and most common form of mathematical induction infers that a statement involving a natural number n (that is, an integer n ≥ 0 or 1) holds for all values of n. The proof consists of two steps: The base case (or initial case): prove that the statement holds for 0, or 1.
In mathematics, a Ringschluss (German: Beweis durch Ringschluss, lit. 'Proof by ring-inference') is a mathematical proof technique where the equivalence of several statements can be proven without having to prove all pairwise equivalences directly.
For example, the expressions above include 2 5 and 3 4, and 5 > 2, 4 > 3. To convert a base-n notation (which is a step in achieving base- n representation) to a hereditary base- n notation, first rewrite all of the exponents as a sum of powers of n (with the limitation on the coefficients 0 ≤ a i < n ).
Axioms 1, 6, 7, 8 define a unary representation of the intuitive notion of natural numbers: the number 1 can be defined as S(0), 2 as S(S(0)), etc. However, considering the notion of natural numbers as being defined by these axioms, axioms 1, 6, 7, 8 do not imply that the successor function generates all the natural numbers different from 0.
