Evaluation (logic)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In logic, evaluation is called the assignment of truth values to the expressive formulas of a language on the basis of an assignment .

One speaks of “evaluation” in propositional logic . Analogously, one speaks of “ interpretation ” in predicate logic .

An assignment V of the sentences in language S is called an evaluation if:

(a) V (¬ A) = w iff. V (A) = f

(b) V (A → B) = w iff. V (A) = f or V (B) = w.

If the propositional formula A is satisfied by all evaluations, then A is propositionally true, generally valid or tautological .

If the conclusion B of a conclusion A → B is fulfilled by all evaluations that also fulfill the premise A, then the conclusion is also valid from a propositional logic .
