In mathematical logic, the diagonalization lemma states that for any well formed formula with a free variable x, there is a sentence ψ such that where [ψ] is the Gödel number for ψ.
Fatous lemma establishes an inequality relating the integral (in the sense of Lebesgue) of the limit inferior of a sequence of functions to the limit inferior of the sequence of integrals of the functions.
Sards lemma, also known as Sards theorem or the Morse-Sard theorem, is a result of mathematical analysis characterising the image of the critical points of a smooth function F from one Euclidean space to another as having Lebesgue measure 0 (and so small, in a definite sense).

 Diagonal lemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematical logic, Gödel's diagonal lemma is a precise way of constructing self-referential statements.
Let T be a theory in an extension of the language of arithmetic in which all recursive functions are representable.
I.e., the result of substituting the quotation name of A for x in A. This mapping is called diagonalization, and D(A) is the diagonalization of A, and D is called the diagonal function.

 diagonal
As applied to a polygon, a diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices that are not adjacent.
When n is the number of vertices in a polygon and d is the number of possible different diagonals, each vertex has possible diagonals to all other vertices save for itself and the two adjacent vertices, or n-3 diagonals; this multiplied by the number of vertices is (n-3).
In the case of a square matrix, the main or principal diagonal is the diagonal line of entries running north-west to south-east.

 MAT 200 Lecture Notes -- More About Inverses
The diagonal line from the upper left hand corner of a square matrix to the lower right hand corner is called the main diagonal.
We have already seen the main diagonal once before, in the definition of identity matrices; the non-zero entries were the ones on the main diagonal.
The sum of the entries on the main diagonal of a square matrix a is called the trace of a and is denoted tr(a).

Perhaps it's worthy to remind that the diagonal lemma is not essential in the proof.

In WeakPCPTheorem, we use self testing and correcting of "diagonal" linear functions to show a weak version of the PCP theorem.
LEMMA: If F is approximately linear, then, for any W∈ A, with probability at least 9/10, SELF-CORRECT(F,W) outputs G(W), where G is the linear function encoded by F. That there is a unique linear function encoded by F follows from the lemmas above.
DEFN: F is an approximately diagonal linear function if F is approximately linear and the linear function that F encodes is a diagonal linear function.

Any real symmetric matrix is orthogonally equivalent to a diagonal matrix.\\ \noindent{\bf 11.22 Lemma} If a complex (real) matrix $A$ is unitary (resp., orthogonally) equivalent to a diagonal matrix with real diagonal entries, then $A$ is Hermitean (resp., symmetric).\\ {\em Proof}.
By 11.21 and 12.10, $A=P^{-1}DP$, where $D$ is a diagonal matrix with positive diagonal entries and $P$ a unitary (orthogonal) matrix.
Next, the faster the subdiagonal entries $a_{i+1,i}^{(k)}$ converge to zero the faster the diagonal entries $a_{ii}^{(k)}$ converge to the eigenvalues of $A$.\\ One can modify the matrix $A$ to decrease the ratio $\lambda_{n}/\lambda_{n-1}$ and thus accelerate the convergence of $a_{nn}^{(k)}\to\lambda_n$, with the help of shifting, as in 19.12.

Definition 4.1.1.Let G 2 GL(n; k) and d be a diagonal of G. A twist along d, denoted by rd(G), is the element of GL(n; k) obtained by `breaking' G along d into two parts, reflecting (or `twisting') one of the pieces, and `gluing' them* * back together (Figure 15).
In the language of polygons, this means rd does not affect the cel* *l, where d is the diagonal representing the double point p3.
Definition 4.3.3.A marked twist of an n-gon G along its diagonal d, denoted by erd(G), is the polygon obtained by breaking G along d into two parts, reflectin* *g the piece that does not contain the side labeled 1, and gluing them back together.

It is often said that diagonalization allows one to construct sentences that are self-referential.
This sentence is intuitively inconsistent, but the sentence constructed by using diagonalization in the usual way is true and, in fact, provable in Q. This problem can be resolved by expanding the language to include function-symbols for all primitive recursive functions.
It can also be resolved by proving a stronger form of the diagonal lemma that I call the "structural" diagonal lemma.

A lemma which I started to state in general, but which I decided to give only the special case in class, verifies that V_i is in fact an L-invariant subspace (try as an exercise): Suppose L, M are commuting linear maps V -> V, that is LM = ML.
The key lemma for a linear map A: V -> V which lets us show that it can be diagonalized with respect to an orthonormal (unitary) basis when self-adjoint (symmetric or hermitian) is this: if a subspace W is A-invariant, then its orthogonal complement W^\perp is A*-invariant.
Prove this lemma, and apply it to show we can diagonalize skew-adjoint, unitary, or, more generally, normal (A*A=AA*) maps in the same way.

Let n = 4 then this is just a square where we can draw a diagonal from one vertex to the opposite vertex and we have our triangulation.
Repeat the same process over and over again, since the number of vertices is finite the number of available vertices that we have get smaller and smaller every time we draw a diagonal.

 Tarski's indefinability theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can the same be done for semantical concepts, such as truth?
Tarski's discovered around 1933 (in part after studying Gödel's methods: in particular, arithmetization and the Diagonal Lemma) that in the most interesting cases, the answer is No. Roughly, a sufficiently rich interpreted language cannot represent its own semantics.
It follows that, generically, the meta-language must be richer than the object language.

The consequences of the diagonalisation lemma are tremendous The fact is that machines no more need to visit the KK Island to be troubled by all kinds of self-reference.
Then by the application of the diagonal lemma on the predicate defined by “not knight(x)”,  there is a k such that the machine will believe that k is equivalent to the negation of knight(k), itself equivalent to -k, so the machine will believe k <-> -k: contradiction.
Now by the diagonalisation lemma, there is no need for a universal machine of type 4 to go on a KK island.

We present strategies and heuristics underlying a search procedure that finds proofs for Gödel's incompleteness theorems at an abstract axiomatic level.
As axioms we take for granted the representability and derivability conditions for the central syntactic notions as well as the diagonal lemma for constructing self-referential sentences.
The strategies are logical ones and have been developed to search for natural deduction proofs in classical first-order logic.

know what the Diagonal Lemma is. Namely: for every formula B of L*, and every theory T that extends Q, there is a sentence G with Gödel numeral g such that T ⊢ G ↔ B(g).
Use the Diagonal Lemma to prove that there is no formula InT(x) that is satisfied by all and only the Gödel numbers of sentences in T (where T is any theory that extends Q).

Indeed, Gödel proved the diagonal lemma by formalizing the self-referential statement
It is convenient to introduce a further bit of notation, and write []A for the formula Thm(#A).
Thus we have the following version of the first incompleteness theorem: Let T be a formal theory for which the Gödel numbering and diagonal lemma can be carried through, and all axioms - and hence theorems - of which are true.

The salient feature of these languages is that the formation rules do not place any special restrictions on the naming function, so that quotational names of sentences behave as ordinary singular terms.
But the diagonal lemma still fails, and montague's inconsistency is thereby averted.
The necessity predicate can attach to names of open formulas, but quantification into modal contexts is treated as vacuous, while the non-modal logic remains first order.

This is not anything to do with the different ways of coding.
Let G be the (unique) sentence that the diagonal lemma produces for PA: G says "G is not a theorem of PA".
Since G is undecidable in PA we can now apply the diagonal lemma to PA + G. This produces a new Gödel sentence G*.

Furthermore, the eigenvectors can be chosen to be orthonormal.
