Computability and Complexity 9-3 Models (First Order Semantics) Let  be a vocabulary. A model appropriate to  is a pair M=(U,  ) consisting of the universe of M, a non-empty set U the interpretation, a function  that assigns - to each predicate symbol P a concrete predicate on U - to each function symbol f a concrete function on U the equality predicate symbol is always assigned the equality predicate on U

Computability and Complexity 9-4 Meaning of terms Let t be a term and let T be an assignment of variables in t with values from U if t is a variable, say, t = X, then is defined to be if then is defined to be

Computability and Complexity 9-5 A model M and a variable assignment T satisfy a formula  (written M, T |=  ) if if is an atomic formula, then M,T |=  if if  =  then M,T |=  if M,T |   if then M,T |=  if and if then M,T |=  if or if  =  X  then M,T |=  if, for every u  U, where is the assignment that is identical to T, except that if  =  X  then M,T |=  if, there exists u  U such that

Computability and Complexity 9-6 Examples A model of the vocabulary of graph theory is a pair G=(U,E), where U is a set and E is a binary relation, that is a graph A model of the vocabulary of number theory U = N, the predicate and function symbols have their usual sense U = Z, the predicate and function symbols have their usual sense U = Q, the predicate and function symbols have their usual sense U = R, the predicate and function symbols have their usual sense U = C, the predicate and function symbols have their usual sense U = {0,…,n-1}, the predicate symbols have their usual sense, the function symbols are interpreted by operations modulo n

Computability and Complexity 9-7 Types of First Order Formulas A formula  is said to be valid if M,T   for any model M and assignment T A formula  is said to be satisfiable if M,T   for some M and T A formula  is said to be unsatisfiable if M,T   for no M and T valid s a t i s f i a b l e unsatisfiable Formulas  and  are said to be equivalent,   , if they have the same satisfying models and assignments

Computability and Complexity 9-9 Models and Theories Let  be a vocabulary. For a sentence (set of sentences) , Mod (  ) denotes the class of all models satisfying  For a model (set of models) M, Th (M) denotes the set all sentences satisfied by M (each model from M ) It is called the elementary theory of M If then  is called a valid consequence of written

Computability and Complexity 9-10 Examples Let  be a first order description of a computer chip,  states that a deadlock never occurs  is the question “Can the chip be deadlocked?”

Computability and Complexity 9-11 Proof Systems A proof system consists of a set axioms a collection of proof rules |   A proof is a sequence of formulas, where every formula is Either an axiom or obtained from preceding formulas using a rule A theorem is any formula occurring in a proof
