Abstract: | The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the basic concepts of propositional
logic for knowledge representation and formalization of reasoning in Artificial
Intelligence.
The different properties of logical propositions are discussed. The basic and derived
logical connectives are used to establish the compound statements, and the truth
tables are constructed to investigate the properties of logical connectives. Such
propositions as tautology, satisfiability, contradiction, contingency, logical
entailment and logical equivalence are analyzed. Three algebraic normal forms -
negation normal form, disjunctive normal form and conjunctive normal form are
studied. Horn clauses are implemented. Two forms of valid inferences as modus
ponens and modus tollens are considered. Some examples are provided to better
understand the main properties of propositional logic.
Keywords: Propositional Logic, Logical Connectives, Normal Forms, Horn Clauses,
Modus Ponens, Modus Tollens ÖZ:
Bu tezin amacı önermeler mantığının yapay zeka alanında bilgi gösterimi ve akıl
yürütme biçimselliştirmesi için temel kavramları incelemektir.
Mantık önermelerinin farklı özellikleri tartışılır. Temel ve türetilmiş mantık
bağlaçları kullanarak bileşik önermeler oluşturulur, ve doğruluk tabloları kurarak
mantık bağlaçlarının özellikleri araştırılır. Totoloji, tatmin edilebilirlik, çelişki,
beklenmedik durum, mantıksal gerektirme ve mantıksal denklik gibi önermeler
incelenir. Üç cebirsel normal form - olumsuzluk normal formu, ayırıcı normal formu
ve bağlayıcı normal formları irdelenir. Horn cümlecikleri uygulanır. Modus ponens
ve modus tollens gibi iki geçerli sonuç çıkarma yöntemleri incelenir. Önermeler
mantığının daha iyi anlaşılması için bazı örnekler verilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Önermeler mantığı, Mantık bağlaçları, Normal formlar, Horn
