Theorem
- $\vdash \neg p \implies \paren {p \implies q}$
Proof 1
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | $\neg p$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
2 | 2 | $p$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
3 | 1, 2 | $\bot$ | Principle of Non-Contradiction: $\neg \EE$ | 2, 1 | ||
4 | 1, 2 | $q$ | Rule of Explosion: $\bot \EE$ | 3 | ||
5 | 1 | $p \implies q$ | Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ | 2 – 4 | Assumption 2 has been discharged | |
6 | $\neg p \implies \left({p \implies q}\right)$ | Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ | 1 – 5 | Assumption 1 has been discharged |
$\blacksquare$
Proof 2
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | $\neg p$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
2 | 1 | $p \implies q$ | Sequent Introduction | 1 | False Statement implies Every Statement: Formulation 1 | |
3 | $\neg p \implies \left({p \implies q}\right)$ | Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ | 1 – 2 | Assumption 1 has been discharged |
$\blacksquare$
