A proof of completeness for continuous first-order logic

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The primary purpose of this article is to show that a certain natural set of axioms yields a completeness result for continuous first-order logic. In particular, we show that in continuous first-order logic a set of formulae is (completely) satisfiable if (and only if) it is consistent. From this result it follows that continuous first-order logic also satisfies an emph{approximated} form of strong completeness, whereby SigmavDashvarphi (if and) only if Sigmavdashvarphidotminus2−n for all n<omega. This approximated form of strong completeness asserts that if SigmavDashvarphi, then proofs from Sigma, being finite, can provide arbitrary better approximations of the truth of varphi.
