  Deduction theorem -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In mathematical (The branch of philosophy that analyzes inference) logic, the deduction theorem states that if a formula F is deducible from E then the implication E → F is demonstrable (i.e.
The deduction theorem may be generalized to a countable sequence of assumption formulas such that from
The deduction theorem is a meta-theorem: it is used to deduce proofs in a given theory though it is not a theorem of the theory itself.

But a statement of the deduction theorem for these systems is itself, I think, of considerable general interest.

But by the deduction theorem for these systems, the schema we wished to prove is proven.

 How definitive is the standard interpretation of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem?
We show that such interpretations are inconsistent with a standard Deduction Theorem of first order theories.
It follows that the standard interpretations of Gödel’s reasoning are inconsistent with a standard Deduction Theorem of an arbitrary first order theory ([Me64], p61, Corollary 2.6).
Theorem 2 as a valid inference, such interpretations are inconsistent with the standard Deduction Theorem for an arbitrary first order theory

 Quotation
The aim of this paper is to sketch a theory of abduction with its relations with deduction and induction in the sense of the second Peirce.
In the syllogistic approach, exemplified by the celebrated Barbara syllogism, deduction is the type of reasoning which allows deriving, from a major premiss (the rule) and a minor premiss (the case), a conclusion (the result).
This representation theorem is given in two forms : theorem 1 links abduction and deduction ; theorem 1’ prepares the link between abduction and induction, through the belief revision operator.

 Chapter 12: The Systems of Complete Modalization - Alternative Formulations
We may note that in Zeman 1967b deduction from hypotheses is defined in a manner differing slightly from that of the present section.
Although the deduction theorem can be proved with this stronger definition of deduction, the converse of the deduction theorem cannot, and so the present notion of deduction is preferable.
There is, indeed, a sense in which the deduction theorem does hold in T and S2, but I feel that it is a fairly trivial sense.

 Intuitionistic Logic
A derivation of a formula E from a collection F of assumptions is any sequence of formulas, each of which belongs to F or is an axiom or an immediate consequence, by a rule of inference, of preceding formulas of the sequence, such that E is the last formula of the sequence.
To illustrate the usefulness of the Deduction Theorem, consider the (apparently trivial) theorem schema (A → A) of IPC.
The Deduction Theorem tells us there is a proof P in IQC of (A(x) → ¬∀x¬A(x)), and one application of ∃-introduction converts P into a proof of ∃x A(x) → ¬∀x¬A(x).

A deductive system S (in the sense of Tarski) is Fregean if the relation of interderivability, relative to any given theory T, i.e., the binary relation between formulas f hff; fii : T; ff `S fi and T; fi `S ff g; is a congruence relation on the formula algebra.

 Methods of mathematics proof
Deduction Theorem justifies the technique known as the Rule of Conditional Proof (CP).
Z) So you see, a proof of a theorem in a branch of mathematics uses the rules, definitions, axioms, and theorems of that branch of mathematics along with the rules of Logic.
We recommend that a Proof by Contradiction be one that begins with p and ~q and ends up obtaining the negation of the premise, and that a Reductio Ad Absurdum Proof be one that ends up obtaining any contradiction of a known truth.

 New forms of the Deduction Theorem and Modus Ponens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This paper studies, with techniques of Abstract Algebraic Logic, the effects of putting a bound on the cardinality of the set of side formulas in the Deduction Theorem, viewed as a Gentzen-style rule, and of adding additional assumptions inside the formulas present in Modus Ponens, viewed as a Hilbert-style rule.
In passing we have found new, alternative presentations of positive implicative logic, both in Hilbert style and in Gentzen style, and have characterized it in terms of the restricted Deduction Theorem: it is the weakest logic satisfying Modus Ponens and the Deduction Theorem restricted to at most 2 side formulas.
The algebraic part of the work has lead to the class of quasi-Hilbert algebras, a quasi-variety of implicative algebras introduced by Pla and Verdin 1980, which is larger than the variety of Hilbert algebras.

 Propositional Logic
These natural deduction systems present the logic by describing introduction and elimination rules for the connectives.
All of the natural deduction rules can be derived, though we only sketch a few of these rules.
The sequence demonstrates this fact because: (a) it is finite in length, (b) lines 1, 2, and 3 are all premises, and (c) lines 4 and 5 follow from previous lines by Modus Ponens.

 Automated Reasoning
A special-purpose theorem prover does not draw its main benefit by restricting its attention to the domain axioms but from the fact that the domain may enjoy particular theorem-proving techniques which can be hardwired — coded — within the reasoning program itself and which may result in a more efficient logic implementation.
Implementations of automated theorem proving systems using NK deduction have been motivated by the desire to have the program reason with precisely the same proof format and methods employed by the human user.
Their theorem prover is written in the functional programming language Lisp which is also the language in which theorems are represented.
