	Completeness article - Completeness mathematics Metric spaces uniform spaces Cauchy sequence converges - What-Means.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In order theory and related fileds such as lattice and domain theory, completeness generally refers to the existence of certain suprema or infima of some partially ordered set.
		In proof theory and related fields of mathematical logic, a formal calculus is said to be complete with respect to a certain logic (i.e.
		In computational complexity theory, a problem P is said to be complete for a complexity class C, under a given type of reduction, if P is in C, and every problem in C reduces to P using that reduction.

	Completeness (order theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the mathematical area of order theory, completeness properties assert the existence of certain infima or suprema of a given partially ordered set.
		All completeness properties are described along a similar scheme: one describes a certain class of subsets of a partial order that are required to have a supremum or infimum.
		The considerations in this section suggest a reformulation of (parts of) order theory in terms of category theory, where properties are usually expressed by referring to the relationships (morphisms, more specifically: adjunctions) between objects, instead of considering their internal structure.

	Model theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		In mathematics, model theory is the study of the representation of mathematical concepts in terms of set theory, or the study of the models which underlie mathematical systems.
		A theory is defined as a set of sentences which is consistent; often it is also defined to be closed under logical consequence.
		Model theory is usually concerned with first order logic, and many important results (such as the completeness and compactness theorems) fail in second order logic or other alternatives.

	Complete partial order - Freepedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		A complete partial order (cpo) is a dcpo with a least element.
		For instance, theorems involving directed completeness (and characterizations thereof) are to be found in the articles on continuous posets, algebraic posets, and the Scott topology.
		All complete lattices are of course also directed complete and thus provide numerous (though not particularly instructive) examples for dcpos.

	Lattice (order)
		In mathematics, a lattice is a partially ordered set in which all nonempty finite subsets have both a supremum (join) and an infimum (meet).
		The supremum is given by the union and the infimum by the intersection of subsets.
		In domain theory, one is often interested in approximating the elements in a partial order by "much simpler" elements.

		The completeness theorem for so-called first order logic is a very basic result in logic, used all the time.
		The formalized mathematical theories T usually discussed in connection with Gödel's theorem - such as axiomatic set theory ZFC and formal arithmetic PA - are subject both to the incompleteness theorem and to the completeness theorem.
		It is confusing that the term "complete" is used in different senses in the incompleteness theorem and in the completeness theorem, and this confusion is often reflected on the net in such comments as

	First-order Model Theory
		From another point of view, first-order model theory is the paradigm for the rest of model theory; it is the area in which many of the broader ideas of model theory were first worked out.
		These theories have the remarkable property that every infinite indiscernible sequence in any of their models is indiscernible under any linear ordering whatever; so these sequences are a kind of generalisation of bases of vector spaces.
		Morley had shown that models of an uncountably categorical theory have structural properties that are interesting in their own right, regardless of the complete theory of the structure; so it became the custom to talk of uncountably categorical structures, meaning models of uncountably categorical theories.

		Two kinds of orderings are widely used in term rewriting and theorem proving, namely Recursive Path Ordering (RPO) and Knuth-Bendix Ordering (KBO).
		Solving ordering constraints is therefore essential to the successful application of ordered rewriting and ordered resolution.
		Besides the needs for decision procedures for quantifier-free theories, situations arise in constrained deduction where the truth value of quantified formulae must be decided.

	First-order predicate calculus at opensource encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		First-order predicate calculus or first-order logic (FOL) is a theory in symbolic logic that states quantified statements such as "there exists an object such that..." or "for all objects, it is the case that...".
		Nevertheless, first-order logic is strong enough to formalize all of set theory and thereby virtually all of mathematics.
		It is a stronger theory than sentential logic, but a weaker theory than arithmetic, set theory, or Second-order logic.

		This question of Los was a tremendous stimulus to research, and it led to a classic paper of Michael Morley in 1965 which showed that Los's three possibilities are in fact the only ones.

		We will prove Godel's completeness theorem, which says that a theory is consistent in the proof theoretic sense iff it has a model.
		(Since the completeness theorem was covered in Math Logic I, students may be expected to fill in some of the details themselves.) Central results such as the compactness theorem and the Lowenheim-Skolem theorem will be included in our discussion of model theory.
		The highlight of the course will be Godel's 1931 incompleteness theorem, which in a specific sense says that no ``reasonable'' axiomatic system for mathematics is sufficient to derive all truths.

		The system FT$_\leq$ of ordering constraints over feature trees has been introduced as an extension of the system FT of equality constraints over feature trees.
		We investigate the first-order theory of FT$_\leq$ and its fragments in detail, both over finite trees and over possibly infinite trees.
		We prove that the first-order theory of FT$_\leq$ is undecidable, in contrast to the first-order theory of FT which is well-known to be decidable.

		Abstract: By a classifying topos for a first-order theory T, we mean a topos E such that, for any topos F, models of T in F correspond exactly to open geometric morphisms F !
		We show that not every (infinitary) first-order theory has a classifying topos in this sense, but we characterize those which do by an appropriate `smallness condition', and we show that every Grothendieck topos arises as the classifying topos of such a theory.
