How do you solve Fitch proofs?
The above solutions were written up in the Fitch proof editor.
Examples of Fitch Proofs:
1. | Prove q from the premises: p ∨ q, and ¬p. | Solution |
---|---|---|
2. | Prove p ∧ q from the premise ¬(¬p ∨ ¬q) | Solution |
3. | Prove ¬p ∨ ¬q from the premise ¬(p ∧ q) | Solution |
4. | Prove a ∧ d from the premises: a ∨ b, c ∨ d, and ¬b ∧ ¬c | Solution |
What is a Fitch proof?
Fitch-style proofs arrange the sequence of sentences that make up the proof into rows. A unique feature of Fitch notation is that the degree of indentation of each row conveys which assumptions are active for that step.

You can also as we've mentioned before create shortcuts the Fitch program is represented by the F icon with the backwards e. And variable X and the letter capital letter P.
How do you prove a case?
The idea in proof by cases is to break a proof down into two or more cases and to prove that the claim holds in every case. In each case, you add the condition associated with that case to the fact bank for that case only.
What is natural deduction in artificial intelligence?
In natural deduction, to prove an implication of the form P ⇒ Q, we assume P, then reason under that assumption to try to derive Q. If we are successful, then we can conclude that P ⇒ Q. In a proof, we are always allowed to introduce a new assumption P, then reason under that assumption.
