Theorem
- $p \implies q \vdash \neg \paren {p \land \neg q}$
Proofs
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | $p \implies q$ | Premise | (None) | ||
2 | 2 | $p \land \neg q$ | Assumption | (None) | Assume the opposite of what we want to prove... | |
3 | 2 | $p$ | Rule of Simplification: $\land \EE_1$ | 2 | ||
4 | 2 | $\neg q$ | Rule of Simplification: $\land \EE_2$ | 2 | ||
5 | 1, 2 | $q$ | Modus Ponendo Ponens: $\implies \mathcal E$ | 1, 3 | ||
6 | 1, 2 | $\bot$ | Principle of Non-Contradiction: $\neg \EE$ | 5, 4 | ... and demonstrate a contradiction | |
7 | 1 | $\neg \paren {p \land \neg q}$ | Proof by Contradiction: $\neg \II$ | 2 – 6 | Assumption 2 has been discharged |
