Is there such a definition for A such that A is defined A=>B. Hence nowhere in the definition does it say anything will imply A.

Is there such a definition for D such that D is defined C=>D. Hence nowhere in the definition does it specify what D implies.

If there exist definitions of A and D then please give examples. If not, why not?

you aren't being very clear what exactly you are asking... Typically we define things like objects or operations, but in order to use an implication between to defined objects typically you need to say something about those objects. Such as “A exist”, “A is maximal”, “or A is finite”.

Fore example: “if A exist it implies B exist” Makes sense, where A and B are some objects. For example let A be “a countable set” let B be a “countable subset”. Then our statement would read: “If a countable subset exist it implies a countable subset exist”

Now try the same statement without making a statement about the objects (which is what you originally wanted): “A countable set implies a countable subset” doesn’t make much sense.

So what is about A, B, C, and D you are talking about?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
