LOGIC Statement: Any meaningful sentence. Any sentence with subject, predicate and verb Ex: 1) Canada is a country 2)1+101=110 3) X=2 is a solution of =4.

Compound proposition: A proposition consists of two or more simple propositions.

Ex: Consider any two propositions. 1) Roses are red in color. 2) Shirt is blue in color Then the compound proposition is Roses are red and shirts are blue in color.

Connectors: 1. Disjunction: Symbol: [V] Operator name: And Consider two propositions P and Q. The symbolic representation will be PVQ

Example: P: It is raining today Q: There are ten tables in this room.

P V Q: it is raining today or there are Ten tables are in this room.

Truth table: P T T F F Q T F T F PVQ T T T F

2) Conjunction: Symbol: [] Operator name: OR Explanation: Consider any two propositions P and Q Then the Symbolic representation will be PQ

Example: P: It is raining today. Q: there are ten tables in this room.

P Q: It is raining today and there are ten tables in this room.

Q P: there are ten tables in this room And it is raining today.

Logical Equivalence: Suppose that compound propositions P and Q are made up of the propositions P1, P2,P3,. Pn Then P Q provided that given any truth values of P1, P2, P3 ,.P n either P and Q are both true or P and Q both false.

Properties of Equivalence: Idempotent law: Disjunction PVPP Associative law: Disjunction (P V Q) V R P V (Q V R) Conjunction (P Q) R P (Q R) Commutative law: Disjunction (P V Q) (Q V P) Conjunction (P Q) (Q P) Conjunction PPP

Tautologies and Contradictions: Tautology: A statement is called a tautology (or) a universally valid formula (or) logically truth when the last column of the statement is true. Cheat sheet value: Last column will be true Ex: Find the tautology and contradiction. 1) P (PVQ) Sol: P Q T T T F F T F F Ans: Its a Tautology PVQ T T T F P(PVQ) T T T T

Contradiction: A statement is called a contradiction if the last column of the statement. Cheat sheet value: Last column will be false

Ex: 1) Find the tautology and contradiction. (~Q P) Q Sol: P T T F F Q T F T F ~Q F T F T (~QP) (~QP)Q T F T F T F F F

Ans: Its a contradiction

Tautology (or) Contradiction: Cheat sheet value: Last column will have Both (True and False) values

Ex: 1) Find the tautology and contradiction P T T F F Ans: Its neither tautology nor contradiction. Q T F T F PQ T F F F (PQ)P T F T T

Exercise: 1) Construct truth table for the following. And find whether it is tautology or contradiction. (P~P)~P (~PQ)(QP) [P(QR)][(PQ)(PR)] [P(PQ)](PQ) [(PQ)]*(PQ)V(~P~Q)+

Substitution instance: A formula X is called a substitution instance of another formula Y, If X can be obtain from Y by substituting formulas for some variables of Y. Ex: P V Q ~(~P) V ~(~Q) Important substitution formulae:
P Q (PQ) V (Q P) P Q ~P V Q

Cheat sheet value: Any substitution instance of a tautology is tautology

Replacement process: It is just like substitution instance. You can replace a formula by another formula if it equals. Ex: P Q (P V Q) Q

Example sum: Show that P(QR) (P(~Q VR)) ((PQ) R) Sol: There are three parts. Consider any two statements and prove. P (QR) P (~Q V R) ~P V (~QVR) Using PQ ~P V Q (~P V~Q) V R Using associative property
(P V Q) V R P V (Q V R) ~ (P Q) V R Using DE Morgans law ~P V ~Q ~ (P Q)

(P Q) R Using ~P V Q P Q

2. Show that {(PVQ) ~ [P (~QV~R)]} V {(~P~Q) V (~P~R)} is a tautology Sol: This statement has two parts. So take the first part and reduce it. Same way do it for the second one. Finally combine those two equations and make that as true. (PVQ) [~P (~Q V~R)] (PVQ) ~ (~P ~ (Q R)) Using DE Morgans law (PVQ) ~~ (PV (QR))

Using DE Morgans law (PVQ) (PV (QVR)) Using ~~PP (PVQ) * (PVQ) (PVR) + Using distributive law *(PVQ) (PVQ)+ (PVR) Using associative law (PVQ) (PVR) .(1) Now, Take the second part and reduce it. *(~P~Q) V (~P~R)+ ~ (PVQ) V ~ (PVR) Using DE Morgans law ~ *(PVQ) (PVR)+. (2)

Combine equations 1 & 2 [(PVQ) (PVR)]V ~ *(PVQ) (PVR)+ We know that P V ~P T PV~P T So it is a tautology.

Duality law: Two formulae A and A* are said to be duals of each other if either one can be obtained from other one by replacing V by and by V. The connectives V and are known as duals of each other.

Cheat sheet value: Replace... V by by V T by F F by T

Example: Write the duals for the following. 1) (PVQ) R (PQ) V R 2) (PQ) V T (PVQ) F Sol: 1) (PQ)V R (PVQ) R 2) (PVQ) F (PQ) V T

Cheat sheet value: Proving methods: Consider a question like this Prove that A B CQ

Method I By using property of equivalence Ex: Associative law, DE Morgans law

Method II By using tautology (i.e) make AB and CD as true. Ex: AB T CD T Here you can write ABCD

Example for Method 2: Prove that P (QP) [~P (PQ)] Sol: Method II P (QP) ~P V (~QVP) (~PVP) V ~Q T V~Q T ..(1) [~P(PQ)]~P(~PVQ) PV(~PVQ) (P V~P) VQ T VQ T (2) From 1 & 2, P (QP) [~P (PQ)]

Principle disjunctive normal form (PDNF): Let P and Q be two statement variables. Let us construct all possible formulas which consist of P, ~P, Q, ~Q. The possible forms are PQ, ~PQ, P~Q, ~P~Q These formulas are called minterms or Boolean conjunctions. For a given formula, an equivalent formula consisting of disjunctions of minterms only is known as its PDNF. Such a normal form is also called the Sum of products canonical form.

Principle conjunctive normal form (PCNF): Let us consider two variables P & Q Let us write all possible maxterms. The maxterms are, PVQ ~P V ~Q ~P V Q P V ~Q For a given formula, an equivalent formula consisting of conjunctions of maxterms only is known as its PCNF.
