We give a procedure for counting the number of different proofs of a formula in various sorts of propositional logic. This number is either an integer (that may be 0 if the formula is not provable) or infinite.
We give a brief historical overview of the famous Pythagoras' theorem and Pythagoras. We present a simple proof of the result and dicsuss some extensions. We follow \cite{thales}, \cite{wiki} and \cite{wiki2} for the historical comments and…
In this note we generalise a method of Perott to give new proofs that there are infinitely many prime numbers.
Only very recently a trigonometric proof of the Pythagoras theorem was given by Zimba \cite{1}, many authors thought this was not possible. In this note we give other trigonometric proofs of Pythagoras theorem by establishing,…
We sketch several proofs of F\'ary--Milnor theorem.
We prove that the Pythagoras number of the ring of integers of the compositum of all real quadratic fields is infinite. The same holds for certain infinite totally real cyclotomic fields. In contrast, we construct infinite degree totally…
In this paper, we prove the number of countable models of a countable supersimple theory is either 1 or infinite. This result is an extension of Lachlan's theorem on a superstable theory.
In logic there is a clear concept of what constitutes a proof and what not. A proof is essentially defined as a finite sequence of formulae which are either axioms or derived by proof rules from formulae earlier in the sequence.…
In this paper, we prove and disprove several generalizations of unbounded versions of the Fuglede-Putnam theorem.
We give a counting based proof of the Graham Pollak Theorem
We present a new topological proof of the infinitude of prime numbers with a new topology. Furthermore, in this topology, we characterize the infinitude of any non-empty subset of prime numbers.
In this note, we give an alternate proof of the multinomial theorem using a probabilistic approach. Although the multinomial theorem is basically a combinatorial result, our proof may be simpler for a student familiar with only basic…
We proved that there are infinitely many pairs of twin prime.
When a proposition has no proof in an inference system, it is sometimes useful to build a counter-proof explaining, step by step, the reason of this non-provability. In general, this counter-proof is a (possibly) infinite co-inductive proof…
Many proofs of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, including various proofs based on the theory of analytic functions of a complex variable, are known. To the best of our knowledge, this proof is different from the existing ones.
{\bf In the fourth extended version of this article, we provide a comprehensive historical survey of 200 different proofs of famous Euclid's theorem on the infinitude of prime numbers (300 {\small B.C.}--2022)}. The author is trying to…
We propose two new proofs of the Pythagorean theorem via area rearrangement arguments starting from very simple geometric configurations. The constructions depend on an angular parameter, each choice of which yields a proof. For specific…
In this paper, we prove the conjecture that if there is an odd perfect number, then there are infinitely many of them.
We motivate and then prove a generalized pythagorean theorem for parallelepipeds in Euclidean space.
We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…
