In computational complexity theory the Blum axioms or Blum complexity axioms are axioms which specify desirable properties of complexity measures on the set of computable function s. The axioms were first defined by Manuel Blum in 1967. ref cite doi 10.1145 321386.321395 ref Importantly, the Blum s speedup theorem Speedup and Gap theorem Gap theorems hold for any complexity measure satisfying these axioms. The most well known measures satisfying these axioms are those of time i.e., running time and space i.e., memory usage . Definitions A Blum complexity measure is a tuple math varphi, Phi math with math varphi math a G del numbering of the partial computable function s math mathbf P 1 math and a computable function math Phi mathbb N to mathbf P 1 math which satisfies the following Blum axioms . We write math varphi i math for the i th partial computable function under the G del numbering math varphi math , and math Phi i math for the partial computable function math Phi i math . the domain mathematics domain of math varphi i math and the domain of math Phi i math is identical. the set math i,x,t in mathbb N 3 Phi i x t math is Recursive language recursive . Examples math varphi, Phi math is a complexity measure, if math Phi math is either the time or the memory or some suitable combination thereof required for the computation coded by i . math varphi, varphi math is not a complexity measure, since it fails the second axiom.

Armstrong s axioms are a set of axiom s or, more precisely, inference rule s used to infer all the functional dependency functional dependencies on a relational database . They were developed by William Ward Armstrong William W. Armstrong on his 1974 paper. ref William Ward Armstrong Dependency Structures of Data Base Relationships , page 580 583. IFIP Congress, 1974. ref The axioms are soundness sound in that they generate only functional dependencies in the closure mathematics closure of a set of functional dependencies denoted as F sup sup when applied to that set denoted as F .

In 1932, George David Birkhoff G. D. Birkhoff created a set of four postulate s of Euclidean geometry sometimes referred to as Birkhoff s axioms . These postulates are all based on basic geometry that can be confirmed experimentally with a Vernier scale scale and protractor . Since the postulates build upon the real number s, the approach is similar to a model theory model based introduction to Euclidean geometry. Other often used axiomizations of plane geometry are Hilbert s axioms and Tarski s axioms . Birkhoff s axiom system was utilized in the secondary school text Basic Geometry first edition, 1940 see References . Postulates Postulate I Postulate of Line Measure .

In mathematics , specifically in algebraic topology , the Eilenberg Steenrod axioms are properties that homology theory homology theories of topological space s have in common. The quintessential example of a homology theory satisfying the axioms is singular homology , developed by Samuel Eilenberg and Norman Steenrod . Indeed, one can define a homology theory as a sequence of functor s satisfying the Eilenberg Steenrod axioms. The axiomatic approach, which was developed in 1945, allows one to prove results, such as the Mayer Vietoris sequence , that are common to all homology theories satisfying the axioms. ref http www.math.uiuc.edu K theory 0245 survey.pdf ref If one omits the dimension axiom described below , then the remaining axioms define what is called an extraordinary homology theory .

Basic Definition and Requirements An axiom P is independent if there are no other axioms Q such that Q implies P. In many cases independence is desired, either to reach the logical consequence conclusion of a reduced set of axioms, or to be able to replace an independent axiom to create a more concise system for example, the parallel postulate is independent of Euclid s Axioms, and can provide interesting results when a negated or manipulated form of the postulate is put into its place . Proving Independence If the original axioms Q are not consistent , then no new axiom is independent. If they are consistent, then P can be shown independent of them if adding P to them, or adding the negation of P, both yield consistent sets of axioms. ref Kenneth Kunen, Set Theory An Introduction to Independence Proofs , page xi. ref For example, Euclid s Axioms, with the parallel postulate included, yields Euclidean geometry, and with the parallel postulate negated, yields non Euclidean spherical or hyperbolic geometry.

In algebra, a Pythagorean field is a field mathematics field in which every sum of two squares is a square. A Pythagorean extension of a field F is an extension obtained by adjoining an element mrad 1 &lambda sup 2 sup for some in F . So a Pythagorean field is one closure mathematics closed under taking Pythagorean extensions. For any field there is a minimal Pythagorean field containing it, unique up to isomorphism , called its Pythagorean closure . Pythagorean fields can be used to construct models for some of Hilbert s axioms for geometry harv Ito 1980 loc 163 C . The analytic geometry given by F sup n sup for F a Pythagorean field satisfies many of Hilbert s axioms, such as the incidence axioms, the congruence axioms and the axioms of parallels. However, in general this geometry need not satisfy all Hilbert s axioms unless the field F has extra properties for example, if the field is also ordered then the geometry will satisfy Hilbert s ordering axioms, and if the field is also complete the geometry will satisfy Hilbert s completeness axiom. The Pythagorean closure of a non archimedean ordered field , such as the Pythagorean closure of the field of rational function s Q t in one variable over the rational numbers Q , can be used to construct non archimedean geometries that satisfy many of Hilbert s axioms but not his axiom of completeness harv Ito 1980 loc 163 D . Dehn used such a field to construct a non Legendrian geometry and a semi Euclidean geometry in which there are many lines though a point not intersecting a given line.

In logic , a metatheorem is a statement about a formal system proven in a metalanguage . Unlike theorems proved within a given formal system, a metatheorem is proved within a metatheory , and may reference concepts that are present in the metatheory but not the object theory . Discussion A formal system is determined by a formal language and a deductive system axiom s and rules of inference . The formal system can be used to prove particular sentences of the formal language with that system. Metatheorems, on the other hand, are proved externally to the system in question, in its metatheory. Common metatheories used in logic are set theory especially in model theory and primitive recursive arithmetic especially in proof theory . Rather than demonstrating particular sentences to be provable, metatheorems may show that each of a broad class of sentences can be proved, or show that certain sentences cannot be proved. Examples Examples of metatheorems include The deduction theorem for first order logic says that a sentence of the form &phi &rarr &psi is provable from a set of axioms A if and only if the sentence &psi is provable from the system whose axioms consist of &phi and all the axioms of A .
