propositional logic Gentzen system
PROP_G design to be simple syntax and vocabulary the same as PROP_H it has , , as standard operators, and a much larger set of inference rules for
introducing and eliminating the operators

a special symbol (or ) that defines a sequent sequent is interpreted as a statement: when all
formulae on the left side of the are true then at least one of those on the right is true

a symbol is used for making statements about what hypotheses a chain of inference is based on, and for couching inference rules so that the steps in a chain of inference can actually be performed

a sequent rule is written as a collection of sequents above a
horizontal line, and a single sequent below it (if you have a collection of sequents that matches
what is above the line, you can replace them by the single sequent below)
ece#627,#winter#‘13# 8#
of#38#
propositional logic Gentzen system
there are two groups of inference rules
! for introducing logical operators ! for rearranging sequent

Modus Ponens
of#38#
propositional logic Gentzen system
anything which can be proven in PROP_H can also be proven in PROP_G what leads to a theorem: anything which is valid is provable in PROP_G
ece#627,#winter#‘13# 22#
of#38#
propositional logic Gentzen system
there are also theorems for soundness, consistency, decidability – both systems are equivalent additional: cut elimination theorem any theorem which can be proved in PROP_G has a proof which does not contain a use of the CUT rule
ece#627,#winter#‘13# 23# of#38#
propositional logic tableau system
designed to support proofs by contradiction idea: since every proposition is either true or false, if we show that something cannot be false then it must be true

PROP_B has the same syntax and vocabulary as PROP_G
ece#627,#winter#‘13# 25# of#38#
propositional logic tableau system
proofs are constructed in terms of an object called a semantic tableau – this is an attempt to enumerate the ways the world could be, given the hypotheses of the proof, and to show that in all of them the negation of the desired conclusion must be false, so the conclusion itself must be true

a tableau is a tree of formulae, built up according to the following five rules:

each branch represents a partial description of the world which is consistent with the original set of premises if any branch contains both A and A for some A then it is clearly not feasible description of the world – we say the branch is CLOSED

if all branch is CLOSED – then there is no feasible descriptions of the world which are consistent with the premises on which it is based so, proof – adding negation of the goal to the premises and showing that the tableau based on that collection is CLOSED (every branch is CLOSED)
