Structural induction?
Hey
Is structural induction the same as complete induction? That is, does it begin with the induction beginning, assumption, and step?
And could someone solve this or at least one of these so I can see what it's like.

It would be really nice if someone could help me with two of these four problems. Unfortunately, I don't understand it at all, so brief explanations would be super helpful. Thanks in advance.
First of all, hello, I'm a good student everywhere and get grades 1-2 in most subjects. Unfortunately, my only problem subject has been math, ever since first grade. I've usually given it my all, learned the rules by heart and sometimes even taken tutoring, but even then I usually only got grades like a four…
I'm studying computer science and need a laptop for my studies. I wanted to know if this one would be sufficient. My budget isn't that high, so I was looking for cheaper options. Do you have any knowledge?
Hi, I was wondering what the probability is of solving a 1000-piece puzzle by chance. Thanks for all the answers!
A complete induction is a special case of structural induction, which is built up above the amount of natural numbers.
Let us consider the natural figures. With these, I can say:
1) 0 is in natural numbers
2) if x is in the natural numbers, is also succ(x) in the natural numbers.
This means that we have structured this amount. We therefore know (way 1)) that 0 is in it and (way 2)) also succ(0)=1, and then succ(1)=2, etc.
An induction works ONLY because of these rules. If we have a statement to show, then we show them for the 0 (IA), and then we assume that there is an x, for that the statement applies (IV) and show that it must also apply to (x+1) (IS). By accepting these IV, we can (and must) use them in IS.
We can also do the same for other structurally constructed quantities. For example, in your example, or in general in different formula systems.
You have the atomic formulas (like the “0” in N), for which you show the statement in IS. Then you have different rules that build more formulas from atomic formulas. For example, if atomic formulae A and B are given, ‘A implies B’ is a formula’ etc. You therefore assume in the IV that the statement applies to atomic formulas (for example A and B), and then in the IS that it also applies to “not A”, “A and B”, ….
