Posted on the Web July 8, 2000. Last updated on June 13, 2002 by Bob Veroff Simple Axiom Systems for Boolean Algebra Bill McCune maintains related pages here and here Recent collaborators on this project include Andrew Feist, Branden Fitelson , Ken Harris, Bill McCune Bob Veroff , and Larry Wos Sheffer Stroke In 1913, Henry Sheffer presented the following 3-axiom equational basis (3-basis) for Boolean Algebra More recently, a number of simplifications (``abridgements'') of Sheffer's system have been published. These include, for example, five systems presented by Meredith . The simplest of these five systems is as follows. We were introduced to this problem in February 2000 via some e-mail exchanges with Dana Scott, Stephen Wolfram, and David Hillman. In particular, Stephen Wolfram proposed a study of 27 candidate axiom systems consisting of 25 single equations and 2 pairs of equations. Wolfram's interest in these equations arose from his research project, A New Kind of Science We have used the automated reasoning program Otter to prove several bases. The following is a very brief summary.

83. Appendix - Boolean Algebra Variables in boolean algebra can only have 2 values (true or false). boolean algebra has similar logical operations AND, OR and NOT ( , and ! http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ppzjld1/CLanguage/appendic.htm

Logic is concerned with the truth or falsehood of statements. For example, consider the statements: A1: it is light outside. A2: the time is before noon. A3: it is morning. If A1 and A2 are true, then A3 is also true*. However, if A1 is true A3 could be false (it could be afternoon). Variables in Boolean algebra can only have 2 values (true or false). The statement * above could be written: NOT: The Boolean variable operated upon by NOT is inverted (ie if it is true it becomes false, or if it is false it becomes true). That is to say NOT TRUE is FALSE, and NOT FALSE is TRUE, i.e. NOT 1 = NOT = 1 AND: The AND operator has 2 (or more) arguments. In order for the output of the AND operator, all the arguments must be true. ie: A B A AND B In other words, FALSE and FALSE = FALSE, TRUE and FALSE = FALSE, FALSE and TRUE = FALSE, and TRUE and TRUE = TRUE. OR: The OR operator also has 2 (or more) arguments, and has the truth table A B A OR B

Boolean algebra includes a series of operators (AND, OR, NOT, NAND (NOT AND), NOR, and XOR (exclusive OR)), which can be used to manipulate TRUE and FALSE values (see truth table ). It is the basis of computer logic because the truth values can be directly associated with bits These rules are used in searching databases either locally or across the Internet via services like Altavista to limit the number of hits to those which most closely match a user's requirements.

(The shortest previously known single axiom has length 131 with 6 variables. Look here for details.

Boolean logic is especially important for computer science because it fits nicely with the binary numbering system , in which each bit has a value of either 1 or 0. Another way of looking at it is that each bit has a value of either TRUE or FALSE. E-mail this definition to a colleague For internet.com pages about Boolean logic .

Robbins Algebras Are Boolean William McCune Automated Deduction Group Mathematics and Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory Posted on the Web October 15, 1996. Last updated September 24, 2003. These Web pages contain some information on the solution of the Robbins problem. A paper on this topic appears in the Journal of Automated Reasoning [W. McCune, "Solution of the Robbins Problem", JAR 19(3), 263276 (1997)]. Here is a preprint . The JAR paper has simpler proofs than the ones below on this page. Here are the input files and proofs corresponding to the JAR paper A draft of a press release , intended for a wider audience, is also available. Introduction The Robbins problem-are all Robbins algebras Boolean?-has been solved: Every Robbins algebra is Boolean. This theorem was proved automatically by EQP , a theorem proving program developed at Argonne National Laboratory. Historical Background In 1933, E. V. Huntington presented [1,2] the following basis for Boolean algebra: x + y = y + x. [commutativity] (x + y) + z = x + (y + z). [associativity] n(n(x) + y) + n(n(x) + n(y)) = x. [Huntington equation] Shortly thereafter, Herbert Robbins conjectured that the Huntington equation can be replaced with a simpler one [5]:

These are things that, just a few decades ago, only humans could do. Now computers do them with apparent ease. How can a "chip" made up of silicon and wires do something that seems like it requires human thought? If you want to understand the answer to this question down at the very core, the first thing you need to understand is something called Boolean logic . Boolean logic, originally developed by George Boole in the mid 1800s, allows quite a few unexpected things to be mapped into

For example: art AND (school OR college) - this expresses a search for records containing information about art schools or colleges. Simple Boolean Boolean logic is essentially very simple. When used in constructing a search expression, it can be very useful in specifying exactly what information you want. The basis of Boolean logic can be illustrated by the following diagrams: Boolean 'AND' This is expressed as 'blue AND yellow' in a search.

BASIC BOOLEAN SEARCHING Boolean operators (or logical connectors) AND, OR, and NOT are used to link together keywords when creating a search statement. Boolean operators may be used in most databases, and are used to broaden or narrow a search. In the CUNY+ databases, as well as in most other databases, Boolean searching is available within the keyword search option ( for CUNY+ use k= ). Always read screens carefully (especially HELP screens) or ask for assistance at the reference desk. AND Keywords combined with AND will retrieve records only where both terms appear. Example: social security AND reform ( AND is used to narrow a search) OR Keywords combined with OR will retrieve records where either one or both terms appear. Example: blacks OR african americans ( OR is used to broaden a search) NOT Keywords combined with NOT will retrieve records with the first term but not the second. Example: depression NOT mental health ( NOT is used to narrow a search) USING BOOLEAN OPERATORS IN A SEARCH STATEMENT 1.

Translate this page Controlling The Real World With Computers ::. Control And Embedded Systems .:: Boolean Logic Home Order Let me know what you think Previous: Data lines, bits, nibbles, bytes, words, binary and HEX Next: Address Lines and Ports Control and embedded systems frequently deal with individual bits in order to control specific operations or to determine the condition of part of a system. For example, a bit might be turned on to light a lamp or activate a relay, or a bit might be off to indicate a switch is on (off meaning on is very common due to the nature of hardware order some and see what I mean Boolean logic , developed by George Boole (1815-1864), is often used to refine the determination of system status or to set or clear specific bits. Boolean logic is simply a way of comparing individual bits. It uses what are called operators to determine how the bits are compared. They simulate the gates that you will see in the hardware section you will read shortly. Think of operators as boxes with multiple inputs and one output. Feed in various combinations of bit values, and the output will be high or low depending on the type of operation. The examples show 2 inputs, although gates can have more. Also, gates are often combined to form more complex logic. A modern microprocessor contains huge numbers of them with many inputs and many varying combinations. Please note that the terms on high and will be considered the same logical state, and
