I have seen $\forall x [P(x)\rightarrow Q(x)]$ written in multiple different forms from different authors. Which of the following are correct if any (as listed below)?
$\forall x [P(x)\rightarrow Q(x)]\equiv P(x)\Rightarrow Q(x)$
$\forall x [P(x)\rightarrow Q(x)]\equiv$ P(x), implies Q(x)
$\forall x [P(x)\rightarrow Q(x)]\equiv P(x) \models Q(x)$
- $\forall x [P(x)\rightarrow Q(x)]\equiv P(x) \vdash Q(x)$
No one.
$∀x [P(x)→Q(x)]$ reads: "every $P$ is $Q$". See Categorical proposition.
The "syntactic consequence" relation: $P(x)⊢Q(x)$ reads: "from (formula) $P(x)$, (the formula) $Q(x)$ is derivable". See Proof calculus (or Proof system).
The "semantic consequence" relation: $P(x)⊨Q(x)$ reads: "(formula) $P(x)$ logically implies (the formula) $Q(x)$". See Logical Consequence.
$⇒$ is ambiguous; sometimes it is used for (logically) implies (i.e. semantic consequence), sometimes for the connective "if..., then..." (i.e. the conditional: →).
