Theorem 2.1.1 Logical Equivalences
Given any statement variables p, q, and r, a tautology t and a contradiction c, the following logical equivalences
hold.
1. Commutative laws:
p^q = q ^p
(p ^ q) ^ r = p ^ (q ^ r)
p^(qv r) = (p ^ q) v (p ^ r)
p^t =p
pv q = q Vp
(p V q) V r = p V (q v r)
p V (q ^ r) = (p v q) ^ (p V r)
2. Associative laws:
3. Distributive laws:
4. Identity laws:
p V c = p
5. Negation laws:
6. Double negative law:
pV ~p = t
~(~p) = p
p^ ~p = c
7. Idempotent laws:
p^p =p
p V p =p
8. Universal bound laws:
p^c = c
~(p V q) = ~p ^~q
p^ (p V q) = p
pvt=t
9. De Morgan's laws:
~(p ^ q) = ~p v~q
10. Absorption laws:
pV (p ^q) = p
11. Negations of t and c:
~t = c
~c = t
