Vvdash

Represents a double vertical bar followed by a horizontal dash, commonly used in formal logic and mathematical proofs.

Overview

Serves as a specialized logical symbol in mathematical logic, proof theory, and formal reasoning systems.

  • Frequently appears in formal mathematical proofs and logical deductions
  • Used to denote specific types of logical consequence or inference relations
  • Common in advanced mathematics texts, particularly in areas dealing with formal systems and model theory
  • Often employed alongside other turnstile variants to express different types of logical relationships

Examples

Expressing a logical double turnstile with additional vertical line in formal logic.
