languange( Cont) am e Consider the language with one predicate P(x, y)and function f(x, y). We can view them as oNwith≤andf(x,y)=x·y. Q with <and f(x,y)=x:y o Z with and f(x,y)=x-y
Languange(Cont.) . Example . . Consider the language with one predicate P(x, y) and function f (x, y). We can view them as: 1. N with ≤ and f (x, y) = x · y. 2. Q with and f (x, y) = x − y. Yi Li (Fudan University) Discrete Mathematics May 28, 2013 6 / 27
