Original question and givens

For induction on P(n) from 0, which proof role is represented by the supplied clause “induction hypothesis”?

  • G001 — For induction on P(n) from 0, which proof role is represented by the supplied clause “induction hypothesis”?

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

source roles = [qf-induction-proof-obligation, [base_index, finite_examples_checked, mode, provided_roles, step_relation, target_role]]

After

derived = [induction, null, null]

Conditions: none

Use THIS bank’s actual fields,operation/domain and types.BASE retains permissible extra metadata.Do not import LDL SAFE/set limits or a different bank’s deduplication rules.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: R70_SOURCE_bank_specific_interface · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

source roles = [base_case]

After

derived = [prove P(0)]

Conditions: none

Keep induction roles distinct:P(0)is the proved start;the IH for arbitrary fixed n is a CONDITIONAL assumption,not the universal conclusion;the step derives the next case under that assumption;only then apply induction.

S003 · implies

Before

source roles = [induction_hypothesis]

After

derived = [assume P(n) for arbitrary fixed n>=0]

Conditions: none

Keep induction roles distinct:P(0)is the proved start;the IH for arbitrary fixed n is a CONDITIONAL assumption,not the universal conclusion;the step derives the next case under that assumption;only then apply induction.

S004 · implies

Before

source roles = [induction_step]

After

derived = [under that assumption derive P(n+1)]

Conditions: none

Keep induction roles distinct:P(0)is the proved start;the IH for arbitrary fixed n is a CONDITIONAL assumption,not the universal conclusion;the step derives the next case under that assumption;only then apply induction.

S005 · implies

Before

source roles = [conclusion]

After

derived = [infer every n>=0 by induction after base and step]

Conditions: none

Keep induction roles distinct:P(0)is the proved start;the IH for arbitrary fixed n is a CONDITIONAL assumption,not the universal conclusion;the step derives the next case under that assumption;only then apply induction.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: Induction_DEFINE_each_distinct_proof_obligation · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · implies

Before

source roles = [identify_role, [induction_hypothesis]]

After

derived = [induction_hypothesis]

Conditions: none

For a missing-role task,subtract the THREE provided roles from all FOUR.For identification,use the SINGLE given clause’s role.Do not copy target_role instead of deriving it.

S007 · implies

Before

source roles = [12, induction_hypothesis]

After

derived = [role identified; arbitrary theorem NOT proved]

Conditions: none

These n FINITE examples neither prove all natural cases nor discharge a missing base/step.This task identifies an obligation;it does not prove an unspecified theorem P.

Result

induction hypothesis

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
