1. Use the FORALLe and FORALLi deduction rules
to prove these sequents. Use the Natural-deduction-proof-checker
tool, and submit your answers within a zipped folder, like you
did for the previous exercise sets.
-
(a)
F(charlie), FORALLx(F(x) -> G(x)), FORALLy H(y) |- G(charlie) ^ H(charlie)
-
(b)
FORALLx F(x), FORALLy(F(y) -> G(y)) |- FORALLz(G(z) ^ F(z))
-
(c)
(FORALLx H(x)) v (FORALLx G(x)) |- FORALLx(G(x) v H(x))
(Note that the converse cannot be proved. For example, let
H be ``is left-handed'' and G be ``is right-handed'' and say that
x ranges over the domain of humans.)
-
(d)
FORALLx ~F(x) |- ~(FORALLx F(x))
(Note that the converse cannot be proved. For example, let
F be ``is left-handed'' and say that x ranges over the domain of humans.)
