OnTruth-Conditions for If (but Not Quite Only If )

چکیده
For—according to the lore—any attempt at pullingoff this featwill reduce themtomaterial implicationand that is decidedlynot agoodwayof assigning truth-conditions to ordinary indicative if s. That is too bad since it seems like they are bounded from above by strict implication (they are true when their antecedents straight out imply their consequents), are bounded from below by material implication (they are false when their antecedents are true but consequents false), and do go in for the kind of equivalence between (1) and (2).

متن کاملRings in which elements are the sum of an idempotent and a regular element
Let R be an associative ring with unity. An element a in R is said to be r-clean if a = e+r, where e is an idempotent and r is a regular (von Neumann) element in R. If every element of R is r-clean, then R is called an r-clean ring. In this paper, we prove that the concepts of clean ring and r-clean ring are equivalent for abelian rings. Further we prove that if 0 and 1 are the only idempotents...
متن کاملGeneralized matrix functions, determinant and permanent
In this paper, using permutation matrices or symmetric matrices, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a generalized matrix function to be the determinant or the permanent. We prove that a generalized matrix function is the determinant or the permanent if and only if it preserves the product of symmetric permutation matrices. Also we show that a generalized matrix function is the de...
