... a universal quantification is a type of quantifier, a logical constant which is interpreted as "given any" or "for all". It expresses that a predicate can be satisfied by every member of a domain of discourse. In other words, it is the predication of a property or relation to every member of the domain. It asserts that a predicate within the scope of a universal quantifier is true of every value of a predicate variable.

Le calcul des prédicats est une extension du calcul des propositions. Il comporte en plus les notions de prédicats et des symboles de quantification universelle et d'existentialité.

DEF

Relation logique qui transforme une fonction en proposition, comme le quantificateur existentiel ou universel (voir DULIN, 1984, p.401).

CONT

On peut citer l'ambiguïté de portée des quantificateurs, en particulier l'importance de l'ordre des mots pour la compréhension automatique.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A logical quantifier that asserts all values of a given variable in a formula.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Quantificateur [représenté par un A inversé signifiant "quel que soit x"] qui permet de préciser la portée de toute assertion comme s'appliquant à n'importe quelle valeur de x.

OBS

D'autres quantificateurs universels opèrent en logique non classique: pour presque tout x, pour exactement un x, pour au plus un x, etc.

Parmi les tentatives de donner plus de rigueur aux représentations en réseaux sémantiques, citons (...) l'introduction de la logique du premier ordre, c'est-à-dire principalement la possibilité d'utiliser les quantifieurs logiques dans les réseaux.

Record 6 1986-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

quantifier : one of the two symbols used in the extended propositional calculus and the predicate calculus. The universal quantifier is read "for all" and the existential quantifier is read "there exists". One or more variables must immediately follow the quantifier; they are called "bound variables". These must be followed by a predicate, which may contain variables known as "free variables". The whole quantified predicate states the truth value of the predicate concerning the free variables...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

La distinction importante entre logique des propositions et logique des prédicats. La puissance additionnelle de la logique des prédicats résulte de la possibilité d'utiliser des variables quantifiées.
