Conditional proofs are of great importance in mathematics.
2.
A famous network of conditional proofs is the NP-complete class of complexity theory.
3.
Such sentences are called conditional sentences, and the standard method for proving them is called conditional proof.
4.
The Hooley published a conditional proof for the second conjecture, assuming certain cases of the Generalized Riemann hypothesis.
5.
The assumed antecedent of a conditional proof is called the " conditional proof assumption " ( CPA ).
6.
The assumed antecedent of a conditional proof is called the " conditional proof assumption " ( CPA ).
7.
In 1967, Hooley published a conditional proof for the conjecture, assuming certain cases of the Generalized Riemann hypothesis.
8.
Then negation introduction and elimination are just special cases of implication introduction ( conditional proof ) and elimination ( modus ponens ).
9.
Thus, the goal of a conditional proof is to demonstrate that if the CPA were true, then the desired conclusion necessarily follows.
10.
Conditional proofs exist linking several otherwise unproven conjectures, so that a proof of one conjecture may immediately imply the validity of several others.
