ableau Definition(Tableaux) A finite tableau is a binary tree labeled with signed propositions called entries. such that O All atomic tableaux are finite tableaux O If T is a finite tableau, P a path on t, e an entry of T occurring on P and T' is obtained from by adjoining the unique atomic tableau with root entry e to r at the end of the path P, then T' is also a finite tableau If To, T1,..., Tn,... is a( finite or infinite) sequence of the finite tableaux such that, for each n >0, Tn+1 is constructed from Tn by an application of(2), then T=UTn is a tableau
Tableau Definition (Tableaux) A finite tableau is a binary tree, labeled with signed propositions called entries, such that: 1 All atomic tableaux are finite tableaux. 2 If τ is a finite tableau, P a path on τ , E an entry of τ occurring on P and τ 0 is obtained from τ by adjoining the unique atomic tableau with root entry E to τ at the end of the path P, then τ 0 is also a finite tableau. If τ0, τ1, . . . , τn, . . . is a (finite or infinite) sequence of the finite tableaux such that, for each n ≥ 0, τn+1 is constructed from τn by an application of (2), then τ = ∪τn is a tableau.

ableau Definition Let r be a tableau, p a path on t and e an entry occurring on P o E has been reduced on P if all the entries on one path through the atomic tableau with root e occur on p o P is contradictory if, for some proposition a, Ta and Fa are both entries on P. P is finished if it is contradictory or every entry on P is reduced on P O T is finished if every path through T is finished O T is contradictory if every path through T is contradictory
Tableau Definition Let τ be a tableau, P a path on τ and E an entry occurring on P. 1 E has been reduced on P if all the entries on one path through the atomic tableau with root E occur on P. 2 P is contradictory if, for some proposition α, Tα and Fα are both entries on P. P is finished if it is contradictory or every entry on P is reduced on P. 3 τ is finished if every path through τ is finished. 4 τ is contradictory if every path through τ is contradictory.

Proof Definition o a tableau proof of a proposition a is a contradictory tableau with root entry Fa. A proposition is tableau provable, written H a, if it has a tableau proof o a tableau refutation for a proposition a is a contradictory tableau starting with Ta. A proposition is tableau refutable if it has a tableau refutation
Proof Definition 1 A tableau proof of a proposition α is a contradictory tableau with root entry Fα. A proposition is tableau provable, written ` α, if it has a tableau proof. 2 A tableau refutation for a proposition α is a contradictory tableau starting with Tα. A proposition is tableau refutable if it has a tableau refutation. Yi Li (Fudan University) Discrete Mathematics April 10, 2012 8 / 1

Complete Systematic Tableaux Definition (Complete systematic tableaux) Let R be a signed proposition. We define the complete systematic tableau(CST) with root entry R by induction. 1 Let τ0 be the unique atomic tableau with R at its root. 2 Assume that τm has been defined. Let n be the smallest level of τm and let E be the leftmost such entry of level n. 3 Let τm+1 be the tableau gotten by adjoining the unique atomic tableau with root E to the end of every noncontradictory path of τm on which E is unreduced. The union of the sequence τm is our desired complete systematic tableau. Yi Li (Fudan University) Discrete Mathematics April 10, 2012 9 / 1
