I’m teaching Discrete Mathematics this semester. It is our “intro to proofs” class. One of the proof techniques the students learn is proof by induction. I told the class that usually the base case for induction proofs are easy and that most of the work occurs in the inductive step. ...
Main article: Elementary proof An elementary proof is a proof which only uses basic techniques. More specifically, the term is used in number theory to refer to proofs that make no use of complex analysis. For some time it was thought that certain theorems, like the prime number theorem, co...
Conditionals are ubiquitous in mathematics: we routinely express theorems usinguniversal conditionalsof the form ‘for allx, ifA(x)thenB(x)’. The logic of universal conditionals is underpinned by that ofpropositional conditionals, which take the form ‘ifA(x0)thenB(x0)’, wherex0is a specifi...
We introduce proof systems for propositional logic that admit short proofs of hard formulas as well as the succinct expression of most techniques used by m
Recent advances in analytical techniques such as comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) have enabled the identification of many individual sulfur species. However, full identification of individual components, particularly in virgin oil fractions, is still out of reach as standards ...

Our scheme, called Cuproof for conveniency, is established on the techniques of Bulletproofs and Lagrange’s three-square theorem given in [17]. Our protocol can be used to construct a range proof for arbitrary range. The argument of our scheme has low computation complexity. The main differen...
