induction axiom


An induction axiomMathworldPlanetmath specifies that a theory includes inductionMathworldPlanetmath, possibly restricted to specific formulasMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath. IND is the general axiom of induction:

ϕ(0)x(ϕ(x)ϕ(x+1))xϕ(x) for any formula ϕ

If ϕ is restricted to some family of formulas F then the axiom is called F-IND, or F induction. For example the axiom Σ10-IND is:

ϕ(0)x(ϕ(x)ϕ(x+1))xϕ(x) where ϕ is Σ10
