$\begingroup$ "Planning Algorithms" by LaValle sect. 4.3.2 defines a strangely different definition of interval negation where negating [-1,2] results in [-2,1] (which also redefines Minkowski differences). There is very little information on this, all the book says on it is "In some contexts... the Minkowski difference ... is defined differently."

2024年9月23日 · Notice that we are actually negating the entire sentence; quantifiers and variables don't attain any truth value, so, indeed, cannot be negated. More human-friendly: $\lnot\,\exists x\,\forall y\, B(x,y)$

2016年9月9日 · Negating the statement corresponds to negation of the whole formula (i.e. putting the negation in front of the existential quantifier). Saying "It is not true that there exists a car which is white and doesn't use diesel" translates as $\neg \exists x \in C : (P(x) \land Q(x))$ which is, by law of quantifier negation, equivalent to

Negating it, we have to "reverse" the quantifiers (as you have done), but we have not to forget the ...

2024年9月13日 · I'm also stumped on how to negate a multiply quantified statement like this. Your given statement has structure $$\exists x\, \Big(\forall y\; Q(x,y)\Big).$$

2017年8月2日 · Given this expression $\\lnot \\exists B. \\forall n. P$ I just came across the assertion that the negation of said assertion was $\\exists B. \\lnot \\forall n. P$. Then I realized that actually I did not

I'm wondering what mathematical rule is applied when negating a polynomial expression. For example, in high school it is taught that $-(-6x^2 + 15x - 5) = 6x^2 -15x + 5$, but what rule(s) is applied here? Some say it's the distributive property (distributing the negation), but I'm not sure about that because negation is an operation, not a number.

2017年8月8日 · How can I go about negating predicates? It's asking me to shift a negation in as far inside the predicate as possible. $$\forall x ((x \ge 100) \lor (x < 100))$$ I am quite new to discrete mathematics so would greatly appreciate a walkthrough. Thanks!
