State the Completeness Theorem for Propositional Logic.
[You do not need to give definitions of the various terms involved.]
State the Compactness Theorem and the Decidability Theorem, and deduce them from the Completeness Theorem.
A set of propositions is called finitary if there exists a finite set of propositions such that . Give examples to show that an infinite set of propositions may or may not be finitary.
Now let and be sets of propositions such that every valuation is a model of exactly one of and . Show that there exist finite subsets of and of with , and deduce that and are finitary.
