I have a statement
(∃x.(P(x) -> (∀y.P(y))))
I am trying to formulate and understand the contrapositive of the formula.
(∃x.(¬∀y.P(y) -> ¬P(x))))
This is what I got.
Is this the correct contrapositive of the original formula?
Is this contrapositive interpreted as "For every y, not P(y) implies not P(x) for some x" or "Not every y holds P(y) and this implies not P(x) for some x"?
Thanks a ton.
The negation of "for all y, P(y)" Is "there exists a y, such that not P(y)"
Making this correction should clarify your interpretation of the contrapositive statement.
