  Presburger arithmetic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Presburger arithmetic is the first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition.
Again, such a proof cannot be given for general arithmetic; in fact, it follows from Gödel's incompleteness theorem that (any recursive axiomatization of) general arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete.
Presburger arithmetic is an interesting example in computational complexity theory and computation because Fischer and Rabin proved in 1974 that every algorithm which decides the truth of Presburger statements has a worst-case runtime of at least

 Presburger arithmetic
Presburger[?] proved in 1929 that there is an algorithm which decides for any given statement in Presburger arithmetic whether it is true or not.
Again, this is false for general arithmetic; this is the content of Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
Presburger arithmetic is an interesting example in computational complexity theory and computation because Fischer and Rabin proved in 1974 that every algorithm which decides the truth of Presburger statements has a runtime of at least 2^(2^(cn)) for some constant c.

 Talk:Presburger arithmetic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It would be nice if we knew that the axioms were consistent (and therefore that arithmetic was incomplete), but there is still a possibility of inconsistency.
On a side note, Presberger arithmetic can be extended to include multiplication by constants (it's just multiple additions, right?), which makes it much more useful for proof of correctness work.
Well, Presburger arithmetic is defined to include nested quantifier, it is not an extension (the example at the end of the first section correctly points that out by containing some quantifiers).

 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Fundamental theorem of arithmetic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In mathematics, and in particular number theory, the fundamental theorem of arithmetic or unique factorization theorem is the statement that every positive integer greater than 1 is either a prime number or can be written as a product of prime numbers.
However if the prime factorizations are not known, the use of Euclid's algorithm generally requires much less calculation than factoring the two numbers.
The fundamental theorem ensures that additive and multiplicative arithmetic functions are completely determined by their values on the powers of prime numbers.

 Gödel's incompleteness theorems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gödel demonstrated the incompleteness of a theory of arithmetic, but it is clear that the demonstration could be given for any theory and language of a certain expressiveness.
For example, first order arithmetic (Peano arithmetic or PA for short) can prove that the largest consistent subset of PA is consistent.
There are even weaker axiomatic systems that are consistent and complete, for instance Presburger arithmetic which proves every true first-order statement involving only addition.

 Peano Axioms. First Order Arithmetic. By K.Podnieks
Presburger's proof is a non-trivial piece of mathematics (see Hilbert, Bernays [1934], section 7.4).
Of course, we must follow the intuition while selecting the axioms of PA. We must follow the intuition when trying to establish formal versions of statements from the usual (intuitive) number theory developed by working mathematicians (as we did it in the Exercise 3.2).
Generalize the result of the Exercise 1.4 by proving that the set Tr (T) of "arithmetical theorems" of any fundamental formal theory T is computably denumerable.

This dissertation contains the identification of a non-trivial subtheory of a temporal theory of Presburger Arithmetic, possessing a decision method.
The first is a satisfiability procedure based on the algorithm for (non-temporal) Presburger Arithmetic and the second is a tree construction which performs the task required of it, as a result of Konig's Lemma.

 "Analyzing Automata with Presburger Arithmetic and Uninterpreted Function Symbols"
We study a class of extended automata defined by guarded commands over Presburger arithmetic with uninterpreted functions.
On the theoretical side, we show that the bounded reachability problem is decidable in this model.
On the practical side, the class is useful for modeling programs with potentially infinite data structures, and the reachability procedure can be used for symbolic simulation, testing, and verification.

The Omega Calculator allows certain restricted uses of uninterpreted function symbols in a Presburger formula.
Presburger Arithmetic with uninterpreted function symbols is in general undecidable, so in some circumstances we will have to produce approximate results (as we do with the transitive closure operation) [KPRS95].
The following examples show some legal uses of uninterpreted function symbols in the Omega Calculator:
