Take ordinary material logical implication on $\{0,1\}$, designate $1$, and interpret negation by the constant-zero operation $N$. Then $A\to (B\to A)$ and $(NB\to A)\to (NA\to B)$ are always designated, and modus ponens rule and logical implication discharge preserve consequence. But $(NB\to NA)\to (A\to B)$ is false for $A=1,B=0$. Thus the first two schemes and the deduction rule do not derive the last scheme. This detects the loss of a genuine classical-negation principle even though all the displayed schemes are tautologies under the usual classical negation.

In the Löb's theorem proof, $T⊢\square D\to \square A$ is obtained before any reflection assumption. Put $H=(\square A\to A)$. Propositional reasoning and the diagonal equation give $T⊢H\to D$. Necessitation and distribution yield $T⊢\square H\to \square D$, hence the displayed implication. This is the arithmetic interpretation of the Löb axiom in Gödel-Löb logic, and avoids necessitating a temporary assumption.

For standard provability satisfying positive introspection, suppose $T⊢{\square }^{j}A\to A$ for some positive integer $j$. Positive introspection gives $T⊢\square A\to {\square }^{j}A$, hence $T⊢\square A\to A$. Löb's theorem yields $T⊢A$. The same argument applies with an already iterated first-order sentence in place of $A$.

A first-order formula is Delta-one modulo ZF if that theory proves it equivalent both to a Sigma-one formula in set theory and to a Pi-one formula in set theory, with the same free variables. Equivalently its assertion and negation each have existential-bounded definitions over ZF. A witness gives upward absoluteness for the first definition; the universal form gives downward absoluteness. Thus the formula has Delta-one absoluteness between nested transitive models of ZF.

In ZF, $\omega$ is the least nonzero limit ordinal. Ordinality is expressed by a bounded formula in set theory asserting transitivity and strict total membership order, with well-foundedness supplied by the Axiom of foundation. Put $L(x)=\mathrm{Ord}(x)\wedge x\ne \varnothing \wedge \forall y\in x\exists z\in x(y\in z)$. Then $x=\omega$ is equivalent over ZF to $L(x)\wedge \forall y\in x\neg L(y)$, again bounded. Therefore nested transitive models of ZF have the same $\omega$.

For normalized Legendre polynomials $p_n=\sqrt{(2n+1)/2}{P}_n$, parity makes the sign function orthogonal to every even index. Integrating the Legendre differential equation gives ${\int }_0^1{P}_n=P_n^{\prime }(0)/(n(n+1))$. The differentiated generating function $z(1+z^2{)}^{-3/2}$ gives the derivatives at zero and hence the displayed odd coefficients. The Parseval identity and squared norm two then evaluate ${\sum }_{m\ge 0}((2m)!{)}^2(4m+3)/[2^{4m}(m!(m+1)!{)}^2]=4$.

For orthonormal Legendre polynomials on $[-1,1]$, the polynomial $q_n$ represents evaluation at zero on polynomials of degree at most $n$: $⟨r,q_n⟩=r(0)$. This follows by expanding $r$ in the orthonormal basis, or from the Riesz representation theorem. With $M=\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ and $c_m=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{2m}{m}\right)/4^m$, orthonormality givesThe last identity telescopes using $c_m/c_{m-1}=(2m-1)/(2m)$. The norms are unbounded: $c_m\ge 1/(2m+1)$ makes the sum dominate a divergent harmonic series. Thus the evaluation identities hold eventually for every fixed polynomial but cannot extend to convergence for every $L^2$ vector, by the Uniform boundedness principle. Point evaluation is also not defined on $L^2$ equivalence classes.

For $D=\{(x,y):x^2+y^2<1\}$, the product order gives least upper bound $(1,1)$, because each coordinate has supremum one. The lexicographic order instead has no least upper bound. Every point $(1,v)$ is an upper bound, but $(1,v-1)$ is a strictly smaller upper bound; a point with first coordinate below one cannot bound the disc. The same geometric set therefore has different order-completeness behavior under the two partial orders. Neither conclusion is determined by the usual drawing alone.

The energy per unit mass required to change a saturated liquid to vapour at a stated pressure and coexistence temperature. In a steam-condensation calorimetry experiment, sensible cooling of the condensate must be subtracted from the measured receiver heat gain.

With constant lateral supply $M$, a discharge law of the displayed form gives equilibrium area $[(m+1)(Q_{\mathrm{in}}+Ms)/c{]}^{1/(m+1)}$ and characteristic speed $c{A}^m$. Under a Chezy law, a wetted-perimeter relation $P_b\propto A^q$ gives $m=(1-q)/2$. Small area perturbations are transported downstream with amplitude inversely proportional to this characteristic speed; finite compressive disturbances can still form shocks because the flux is convex.

Let $H(t)={\int }_0^{t}E(r)dr$, increasing until $t^{\ast }$ and decreasing afterwards. For dry initial data and zero upstream depth, a characteristic emitted at time $\tau$ has $h=H(t)-H(\tau )$ and position $s=\frac{5}{3}{\int }_{\tau }^t[H(r)-H(\tau ){]}^{2/3}dr$, for as long as its depth stays nonnegative. The height follows by integrating the source along a characteristic, and the position follows from the derivative of the Manning flux.

When $E<0$ and $H(t)>0$, define the earlier emission time ${\tau }_d(t)\le t^{\ast }$ by $H({\tau }_d)=H(t)$. The front where this water is just exhausted hasIt moves downstream because $s_d^{\prime }=-(10/9)E(t){\int }_{{\tau }_d}^t[H(r)-H(t){]}^{-1/3}dr>0$. Behind it depth is zero; ahead, unexhausted characteristic labels determine the wet profile. This construction presumes removal limited by water availability: continuing a negative source unchanged at zero depth would violate nonnegativity. If $H$ reaches zero, the remaining initially generated water has also vanished.

For a real symmetric positive-definite matrix $A$, the energy norm is $\Vert x{\Vert }_A=(x^{T}Ax{)}^{1/2}=\Vert A^{1/2}x{\Vert }_2$. In the defining supremum of the induced matrix norm, substitute $y=A^{1/2}x$. The matrix square root is an invertible matrix, so this ranges over every nonzero vector and proves the displayed identity. This matrix similarity is useful because contraction in the energy norm becomes an ordinary Euclidean operator norm estimate after a change of coordinates.

For each row, the weighted Cauchy-Schwarz inequality gives $|(Bx{)}_i{|}^2\le ({\sum }_j|b_{ij}|)({\sum }_j|b_{ij}||x_j{|}^2)$. Summing over rows bounds the result by the maximum absolute row sum times the maximum absolute column sum times $\Vert x{\Vert }_2^2$. Taking square roots and the supremum proves the displayed induced matrix norm inequality. It gives a Euclidean estimate directly from entries without computing singular values.

A first-order clause containing at most one positive first-order literal. A clause with exactly one positive literal is definite; with no positive literal it is a constraint or goal clause.

For ${\omega }^3=1$ primitive and $k=0,1,2$, these nine points are the inflection points of every nonsingular finite member of the Hesse pencil. On the cubic, substituting the equation into its Hessian curve gives $-4({\lambda }^3+1)xyz=0$. Nonsingularity forces one coordinate to vanish, and the remaining two cubes sum to zero, producing exactly the nine displayed points. They are the fixed base configuration of the pencil, independently of its smooth parameter.
