Theories could be decidable yet not admit quantifier elimination. Strictly speaking, the theory of the additive natural numbers did not admit quantifier elimination, but it was an expansion of the additive natural numbers that was shown to be decidable. Whenever a theory is decidable, and the
1456: 354: 1151:. A common technique was to show first that a theory admits elimination of quantifiers and thereafter prove decidability or completeness by considering only the quantifier-free formulas. This technique can be used to show that 986: 896: 1327: 809: 534:. Quantifier-free sentences have no variables, so their validity in a given theory can often be computed, which enables the use of quantifier elimination algorithms to decide validity of sentences. 218: 678: 1302: 390: 1134: 500: 184: 1096: 1021: 55: 1067: 520: 154: 115: 75: 708: 1044: 728: 602: 578: 95: 710:
