Logical Equivalence



Logical Equivalence
        Commutative laws: p Ù q = q Ù p, p Ú q = q Ú p
        Associative laws: (p Ù q) Ù r = p Ù (q Ù r), (p Ú q) Ú r = p Ú (q Ú r)
        Distributive laws:             p Ù (q Ú r) = (p Ù q) Ú (p Ù r)
                                                                                p Ú (q Ù r) = (p Ú q) Ù (p Ú r)
        Identity laws: p Ù t = p, p Ú c = p
        Negation laws: p Ú ~p = t, p Ù ~p = c
        Double negative law: ~(~p) = p
        Idempotent laws: p Ù p = p, p Ú p = p
        De Morgan’s laws: ~(p Ù q) = ~p Ú ~q, ~(p Ú q) = ~p Ù ~q
        Universal bound laws: p Ú t = t, p Ù c = c
        Absorption laws: p Ú (p Ù q) = p, p Ù (p Ú q) = p
        Negation of t and c: ~t = c, ~c = t
