My Little Logic Problem...

I need to prove (p -> q)->(~~p->~~q) from the empty set.

i'm only allowed to use

These three axioms:

p->(q->p) [PL1]
(p->(q->r))->((p->q)->(p->r)) [PL2]
(~p->~q)->(q->p) [PL3]

These four theorems

~p->(p->q) [pt1]
p->p [pt2]
~~p->p [pt3]
p->~~p [pt4]

remember, any uniform substitution instance of an axiom or theorem yield an axiom or theorem,

any suggestions, serious answers only
I'm feeling surly right now..

In which deduction system are you ? According to the axioms, it looks like you're in Hilbert's propositional calculus... but it doesn't say which inference rules you're allowed to use.

If you only have the modus ponens, then the proof will be very tiresome (and I won't take the time nor the energy to write it... I've never really liked propositional logic)...
Do you also have the deduction theorem ? Or any other inference rule ? It would be much easier with more rules :)

when i first saw the thread reply counter i was all like "wow people were really interested in this", then i opened it...

anyways, to answer you flo, i'm allowed to use modus ponens and [DT] (deductive theorem) but not [SPE] (subsitutable proved equivalence)
I'm feeling surly right now..

hehe sorry but I guess you'll have to do it by yourself... it's the kind of exercise one can only bear to do once in his life :P
Good luck, though, you will need several trial-and-errors before having found the 10 or 20 steps of this proof.

Here's a little piece of advice : since it's not easy to see the substitutions and keep them in mind, try to write down the actual contents of each substitution each time ; e.g. when you apply MP, write both {A, A->B} |- B and, say, {p, (p->(q->p))} |- (q->p), or at least {p, axiom_1} |- (q->p) ... otherwise you probably won't go anywhere, even with a large brain ;)
