Let P (x) and Q(x) be two predicates and suppose D is the the domain of For the statement forms in each pair, determine whether they have the same truth value for every choice of p(x), Q(x) and D, or not. ∀x ∈ D, (P (x) ∧ Q(x)), and (∀x ∈ D, P (x)) ∧ (∀x ∈ D, Q(x)) ∀x ∈ D, (P (x) ∨ Q(x)), and (∀x ∈ D, P (x)) ∨ (∀x ∈ D, Q(x))
Long chain of friends: You are given a list of people, and statements of the form “x knows y”. You are asked to find, is there a chain of k distinct people, such as x1 knows x2, x2 knows x3, and xk-1 knows xk. Prove that this problem is NP-complete by using one of the known NP-complete problems (CLIQUE, 3-SAT, Hamiltonian Path, Hamiltonian Cycle, Independent Set, etc.)
Prove Pierce's law: For any propositions P and Q, the proposition ((P -+ Q) -> P) -+ P is a tautology
