Bertrand Russell, Herbrand's Theorem, and the Assignment Statement

چکیده
While propositional modal logic is a standard tool, first-order modal logic is not. Indeed, it is not generally understood that conventional first-order syntax is insufficiently expressible. In this paper we sketch a natural syntax and semantics for first-order modal logic, and show how it easily copes with well-known problems. And we provide formal tableau proof rules to go with the semantics, rules that are, at least in principle, automatable.

On Herbrand's Theorem
We rstly survey several forms of Herbrand's theorem. What is commonly called \Herbrand's theorem" in many textbooks is actually a very simple form of Herbrand's theorem which applies only to 89-formulas; but the original statement of Herbrand's theorem applied to arbitrary rst-order formulas. We give a direct proof, based on cutelimination, of what is essentially Herbrand's original theorem. Th...
متن کاملHerbrand's Theorem, Automated Reasoning and Semantics Tableaux
We overview recent results related to Herbrand's theorem and tableau-like methods of automated deduction. Based on an analysis and discussion of these results, open problems are posed and new research directions are suggested.
متن کاملHerbrand's Theorem and Equational Reasoning: Problems and Solutions
The famous Herbrand's theorem of mathematical logic plays an important role in automated theorem proving. In the rst part of this article, we recall the theorem and formulate a number of natural decision problems related to it. Somewhat surprisingly, these problems happen to be equivalent. One of these problems is the so-called simultaneous rigid E-uni cation problem. In the second part, we sur...
متن کاملSpecial Bertrand Curves in semi-Euclidean space E4^2 and their Characterizations
In [14] Matsuda and Yorozu.explained that there is no special Bertrand curves in Eⁿ and they new kind of Bertrand curves called (1,3)-type Bertrand curves Euclidean space. In this paper , by using the similar methods given by Matsuda and Yorozu [14], we obtain that bitorsion of the quaternionic curve is not equal to zero in semi-Euclidean space E4^2. Obtain (N,B2) type quaternionic Bertrand cur...
متن کاملHerbrand's Fundamental Theorem: The Historical Facts and their Streamlining
Using Heijenoort’s unpublished generalized rules of quantification, we discuss the proof of Herbrand’s Fundamental Theorem in the form of Heijenoort’s correction of Herbrand’s “False Lemma” and present a didactic example. Although we are mainly concerned with the inner structure of Herbrand’s Fundamental Theorem and the questions of its quality and its depth, we also discuss the outer questions...
