In probability theory, conditional independence describes situations wherein an observation is irrelevant or redundant when evaluating the certainty of...

The standard method for proving conditional sentences (sentences of the form "if A, then B") is called "conditional proof". In this method, in order to...

In probability theory, the conditional expectation, conditional expected value, or conditional mean of a random variable is its expected value evaluated...

In information theory, the conditional entropy quantifies the amount of information needed to describe the outcome of a random variable Y {\displaystyle...

logic, a deduction theorem is a metatheorem that justifies doing conditional proofs from a hypothesis in systems that do not explicitly axiomatize that...

statements then results from the transitivity of the material conditional. A probabilistic proof is one in which an example is shown to exist, with certainty...

The validity of this argument structure can be shown by using both conditional proof (CP) and reductio ad absurdum (RAA) in the following way: Hurley,...

Combined with theorems of Gross–Zagier and Kolyvagin, this gave a conditional proof (on the Tate–Shafarevich conjecture) of the conjecture that E has...

this conjecture is given by Nathan Ng. In particular, Ng gives a conditional proof that the function e − y / 2 M ( e y ) {\displaystyle e^{-y/2}M(e^{y})}...

The material conditional (also known as material implication) is a binary operation commonly used in logic. When the conditional symbol → {\displaystyle...

In logic and proof theory, natural deduction is a kind of proof calculus in which logical reasoning is expressed by inference rules closely related to...
