Independent Axioms for Infinite-Valued Logic

Abstract
Recent interest in Łukasiewicz' Lℵ0, raises the question whether this axiomatic system can be simplified [2]. It is known that Łukasiewicz' fourth axiom CCCPQCQPCQP is dependent [4] p. 51. The axiomatic system resulting from deleting the fourth axiom from Lℵ0 will be shown to be “minimal” in the sense that the axioms and rules of inference are mutually independent; consequently, no further simplification of Lℵ0, is possible. By switching basic operators, however, simplified modifications of Lℵ0, can be constructed.
