Predicates, Domains and Quantifier Scope

Accept equivalent mathematically correct reasoning. Require explicit definitions, theorem hypotheses, proof structure, verification, and limitations.

Problem 1

There exists x such that for every y, not P(x,y).

Problem 2

Identify the first invalid inference, missing hypothesis, quantifier error, unjustified limit interchange, or unproved existence claim; then supply a valid repair.

Problem 3

A complete response explicitly states the definitions, domain, hypotheses, exact target, and theorem dependencies for Predicates, Domains and Quantifier Scope.

Problem 4

The argument must address translating open sentences into precisely quantified statements with each nontrivial step justified and the final conclusion restated.

Problem 5

A strong application explains the mathematical model in formal verification, database queries, proof assistants, specification languages, and research hypotheses, verifies conditions, and names at least one limitation.

Problem 6

Accept a second valid proof, a counterexample showing necessity of a hypothesis, an independent estimate, or a reproducible finite check that is correctly described as supporting evidence.
