- 
-Describe current progress on your project. 
- 
-===== Problem 2 ===== 
- 
-Prove that the quantifier-free theory of term algebras is convex (See [[Calculus of Computation Textbook]], Section 10.3.1). ​ That is, show that, if $C$ is a conjunction of literals of form $t=t'$ and $t\neq t'$ where $t,t'$ are terms in some language (containing variables), and if formula 
-\[ 
-    C \rightarrow \bigvee_{i=1} t_i=t'​_i 
-\] 
-is valid (holds for all values of variables) in the Herbrand interpretation (where elements are ground terms and $\alpha(f)(t_1,​\ldots,​t_n)=f(t_1,​\ldots,​t_n)$),​ then for some $i$ 
-\[ 
-    C \rightarrow t_i=t'​_i 
-\] 
-holds for all values of variables in the Herbrand interpretation. 
- 
-If you use in your solution any theorem about term algebras that we did not prove in the class, you need to prove the theorem as well.
