Hello everyone,
I am trying to find a proof for:
\[\vdash \left ( \sim \alpha \rightarrow \sim \left ( \sim \alpha \right ) \right )\rightarrow \alpha\]
I am using the L inference system, which includes the modus ponens inference rule, and the axioms and statements attached below. That's the only thing I am suppose to use.
In the book from which I took this question from, the third axiom slightly differ from my third axiom. In the book, the 3rd axiom is:
\[\left ( \sim \beta \rightarrow \sim \alpha \right )\rightarrow \left ( \left ( \sim \beta \rightarrow \alpha \right )\rightarrow \beta \right )\]
While my 3rd axiom is:
\[\left ( \sim \beta \rightarrow \sim \alpha \right )\rightarrow \left ( \alpha \rightarrow \beta \right )\]
In the book, this proof uses the 3rd axiom, and I couldn't find a way to replace their 3rd axiom with mine, nor to prove that my axiom leads to theirs, so I can use it instead.
One more thing to bare in mind, which I forgot to mention and is important, I can (and need to) use the deduction theorem.
In the book, they used the deduction theorem, and then the 3rd axiom, one statement ( \[\sim \alpha \rightarrow \sim \alpha\] ) and twice the MP rule.
Thank you in advance.
