Négation logiqueEn logique et en mathématiques, la négation est un opérateur logique unaire. Il sert à nier une proposition. On note la négation d'une proposition P de diverses manières dont : ¬P (utilisée dans cet article); Non P ; Ces formulations se lisent « négation de P » ou plus simplement « non P ». Dans l'interprétation par des tables de vérité, la proposition ¬P est vraie quand P est fausse et elle est fausse quand P est vraie. La table de vérité s'écrit simplement : ou On remarque alors que où dénote une contradiction.
Double negationIn propositional logic, double negation is the theorem that states that "If a statement is true, then it is not the case that the statement is not true." This is expressed by saying that a proposition A is logically equivalent to not (not-A), or by the formula A ≡ ~(~A) where the sign ≡ expresses logical equivalence and the sign ~ expresses negation. Like the law of the excluded middle, this principle is considered to be a law of thought in classical logic, but it is disallowed by intuitionistic logic.
Price levelThe general price level is a hypothetical measure of overall prices for some set of goods and services (the consumer basket), in an economy or monetary union during a given interval (generally one day), normalized relative to some base set. Typically, the general price level is approximated with a daily price index, normally the Daily CPI. The general price level can change more than once per day during hyperinflation.
RéfutabilitéLa réfutabilité (également désignée par le recours à l'anglicisme falsifiabilité) a été introduite par Karl Popper et est considérée comme un concept important de l'épistémologie, permettant d'établir une démarcation entre les théories scientifiques et celles qui ne le sont pas. Une affirmation, une hypothèse, est dite réfutable si et seulement si elle peut être logiquement contredite par un test empirique ou, plus précisément, si et seulement si un énoncé d'observation (vrai ou faux) ayant une interprétation empirique (respectant ou non les lois actuelles et à venir) contredit logiquement la théorie.
SmallholdingA smallholding or smallholder is a small farm operating under a small-scale agriculture model. Definitions vary widely for what constitutes a smallholder or small-scale farm, including factors such as size, food production technique or technology, involvement of family in labor and economic impact. Smallholdings are usually farms supporting a single family with a mixture of cash crops and subsistence farming. As a country becomes more affluent, smallholdings may not be self-sufficient, but may be valued for the rural lifestyle.
String interpolationIn computer programming, string interpolation (or variable interpolation, variable substitution, or variable expansion) is the process of evaluating a string literal containing one or more placeholders, yielding a result in which the placeholders are replaced with their corresponding values. It is a form of simple template processing or, in formal terms, a form of quasi-quotation (or logic substitution interpretation). The placeholder may be a variable name, or in some languages an arbitrary expression, in either case evaluated in the current context.
Double-negation translationIn proof theory, a discipline within mathematical logic, double-negation translation, sometimes called negative translation, is a general approach for embedding classical logic into intuitionistic logic. Typically it is done by translating formulas to formulas which are classically equivalent but intuitionistically inequivalent. Particular instances of double-negation translations include Glivenko's translation for propositional logic, and the Gödel–Gentzen translation and Kuroda's translation for first-order logic.
