Let succ : N → N be the unary operation on N associating with every natural number its successor (i.e., succ ( n ) = n + 1 for all n ∈ N ). Then + , × , succ and 0 satisfy the following equations for all m , n ∈ N : n + 0 = n m + succ ( n ) = succ ( m + n ) n × 0 = 0 m × succ ( n ) = ( m × n ) + m Since every n ∈ N is obtained by the n -fold application of succ to 0 , this can be considered as a recursive defjnition of + and × . An equation is a formula of the form t = u , with t and u terms. An equational theory is a pair ( Σ , E ) consisting of a signature Σ and a set of Σ -equations E ; the equations in E are the axioms of the A signature Σ determines, together with a countably infjnite set of variables V , an inductively defjned set T ( Σ , V ) of terms (see book). The equational theory ( Σ 1 , E 1 ) of natural numbers has the following The signature Σ 1 of the theory natural numbers consists of ▶ a nullary function symbol (a.k.a. constant symbol ) 0 ; a ( x , 0) = x ▶ a unary function symbol s ; and a ( x , s ( y )) = s ( a ( x , y )) ▶ binary function symbols a and m . m ( x , 0) = 0 m ( x , s ( y )) = a ( m ( x , y ), x )

We write T ⊢ t = u if there is a derivation of t = u using the following ( Axiom ) if t = u is an equation in E Consider the equational theory T 1 = ( Σ 1 , E 1 ) . t = u t = u t = u u = v Give a proof tree showing that T 1 ⊢ m ( s (0), s (0)) = a (0, s (0)) .

9/11 [Read the proof in the book. We will study a ground-completeness proof Exercise Completeness Theorem / department of mathematics and computer science 11/11 Proof. By the general soundness of the rules of equational logic (see Proposition 2.3.9 in the book) it suffjce to check that the axioms PA1–PA4 are valid in the context of process algebra.] 10/11 / department of mathematics and computer science / department of mathematics and computer science Theorem T 1 is sound for N T 1 is ground-complete for N Let N = ( N , +, × , succ , 0) , and let ι be the standard interpretation of a , m , s and 0 as + , × , succ and 0 in N . For all closed Σ 1 -terms p and q , if N | = p = q , then T 1 ⊢ p = q . For all Σ 1 -terms t and u , if T 1 ⊢ t = u , then N | = t = u . in N (Exercise!). Is T 1 complete for N ? No! For instance, N | = a ( x , y ) = a ( y , x ) , but T 1 ̸⊢ a ( x , y ) = a ( y , x ) . Argue that T 1 ̸⊢ a ( x , y ) = a ( y , x ) .
