Question about a logic notation

In summary, if there exists some x in R such that f(x)>0, then f is asmani. This also holds true if for all x in R, f(x)>0, then f is asmani. However, if the statement is ambiguous or meaningless, then the definition of f as asmani is not valid.

(x∈R → f(x)>0) → f is asmani.

What does it mean:

1. If there exists some x in R such that f(x)>0, then f is asmani.

2. If for all x in R we have f(x)>0, then f is asmani.

3. It's ambiguous or meaningless.

4. ...?

Thanks in advance.

And now I am going to spend all day wondering what "asmani" means!

Thanks. Is that a common formulation?

asmani means skiey (or of sky) in Persian, although I didn't mean that!

I think it means always positive. Frankly, I have never seen that word.

not sure i understand you :confused:

that is the only interpretation of your original formula :smile:

haha! :biggrin:

as a matter of interest, does "armani" mean anything in Persian?

No, I mean the original formula. Is it a common formula in order to say "If for all x in R we have f(x)>0, then f is asmani"

Yes, it means "ideal". :smile:

yes, that is a standard form of definition

eg: "if, for all non-zero vectors x, xTAx > 0, then A is positive definite" :wink:
