Degree of Negation of an Axiom

Abstract

In this article we present the two classical negations of Euclid's Fifth Postulate (done by Lobachevski-Bolyai-Gauss, and respectively by Riemann), and in addition of these we propose a partial negation (or a degree of negation) of an axiom in geometry. The most important contribution of this article is the introduction of the degree of negation (or partial negation) of an axiom and, more general, of a scientific or humanistic proposition (theorem, lemma, etc.) in any field - which works somehow like the negation in fuzzy logic (with a degree of truth, and a degree of falsehood), or like in neutrosophic logic [with a degree of truth, a degree of falsehood, and a degree of neutrality (i.e. neither truth nor falsehood, but ambiguous, unknown, indeterminate)].

A Combinatorial Problem in Cinema Seating

We address a problem concerning cinema audiences: ``A cinema has $n$ seats numbered from $1$ to $n$, and there are $n$ people with tickets numbered from $1$ to $n$. People enter the cinema in order. If someone has the ticket number $i$, they can choose seats whose numbers are multiples of $i$. They should exit the cinema if the permitted seats are occupied by previous audience members. In how many ways can they be seated under these conditions?" We give an algorithm to create the list of situations that meet these conditions. We also focus on finding the number of situations in two special cases: when exactly one seat is unoccupied whose total number is denoted by $ω(n)$, and when all audiences $1, \ldots, n-1$ are seated, whose total number is denoted by $ψ(n)$. Giving the recursive formula $ψ(n)=1+\sum_{d|n, d\neq n}ψ(d)$ with the initial value $ψ(1)=1$, we provide an explicit formula for $ψ(p^αq^β)$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers. Furthermore, we show that $ω(n)=-n+\sum_{i=1}^nψ(i)$.
