Theorem

Let $R: \Z \to \set {\mathrm T, \mathrm F}$ be a propositional function on the set of integers $\Z$.

Let $\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} x_i$ denote a summation over $R$.


Let the fiber of truth of $R$ be infinite.


Let $\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} b_i$ and $\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} c_i$ be convergent.


Then:

$\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} \paren {b_i + c_i} = \sum_{\map R i} b_i + \sum_{\map R i} c_i$


Proof 1

Let $b_i =: a_{i 1}$ and $c_i =: a_{i 2}$.

Then:

\(\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} \paren {b_i + c_i}\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} \paren {a_{i 1} + a_{i 2} }\) by definition
\(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} \paren {\sum_{1 \mathop \le j \mathop \le 2} a_{i j} }\) Definition of Summation
\(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \sum_{1 \mathop \le j \mathop \le 2} \paren {\sum_{\map R i} a_{i j} }\) Exchange of Order of Summation: Finite and Infinite Series
\(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} a_{i 1} + \sum_{\map R i} a_{i 2}\) Definition of Summation
\(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} b_i + \sum_{\map R i} c_i\) by definition

$\blacksquare$


Proof 2

By definition, $\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} b_i$ and $\displaystyle \sum_{\map R i} c_i$ are sequences in $\R$.

Hence the result as an instance of Sum Rule for Real Sequences.

$\blacksquare$
