Negating Logical Statements with Multiple Quantifiers

  • How do you negate a logical statement that multiple "for all" and "there exist" quantifiers in it?
    We've seen previously how to negate a single universal or existential quantifier in the playlist here: • Discrete Math (Full Co...
    Now we upgrade to the case of multiple quantifiers. The idea is that every "for all" flips to a "there exist" and vice versa, and the final predicate becomes negated. We will practice interpreting an english sentence as a logical statement with multiple quantifiers, negate it formally, then convert back to english.

    The video is great! I love it!! But there seems to be a loophole in the "Some number in D is the largest" statement. If we look at the "math translated" version of the statement, there exists a domain D, such that these two statements would not be equivalent. eg. D = {1, 1, 1, 1}. The math version would be true, because there exists 1 which is greater or equal then every other element of set D. But the english version would not be, because there isn't a number in the set which is the largest. As I understood it, the property should have contained a negation of x = y, and should have looked something like this: There exists some x in D, such that for all y in D, y ≠ x and x > y.
    I also want to thank you for such a great Discrete math course! It's absolutely awesome!

    7:05 > _"for everything _*_else_*_ in the domain"_
    small nitpick, i think the else part would require explicilty removing it from domain like D - {x}, in the current form in video, this just means all values in domain (x included); am i right?

    I have question:
    Why is the statement "Every integer has a larger integer" true but it's negation, although expected to be false, doesn't actually seem to be false to me? When prooving the statement ""Every integer has a larger integer", Trefor Bazett says you can take any integer x, add 1 to it and get an integer bigger than x. But when prooving the negation of the same statement, Trefor says "There is just no number out there that is bigger than everything else…", but that contradicts the reasoning used to prove the statement is true. I would be thankful if someone can clarify this a little bit to me.

    • @duwartstewart5639
      @duwartstewart5639 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Its negation is that there exists a number, that every other number is smaller than that number. Is false because integers can keep increasing. There is no number that is bigger than everything because there is always a bigger integer.

    ∀x∈D, [∃y∈D, L(y,x)] → H(x)
