2Proof by example — (also known as inappropriate generalisation ) is a logical fallacy whereby one or more examples are claimed as proof for a more general statement.This fallacy has the following argument form::I know that x in X has the property P.:Therefore, all… …
3Inductive reasoning — Induction or inductive reasoning, sometimes called inductive logic, is the process of reasoning in which the premises of an argument are believed to support the conclusion but do not entail it; i.e. they do not ensure its truth. Induction is a… …

7Mathematical proof — In mathematics, a proof is a convincing demonstration (within the accepted standards of the field) that some mathematical statement is necessarily true.[1][2] Proofs are obtained from deductive reasoning, rather than from inductive or empirical… …
8Natural proof — In computational complexity theory, a natural proof is a certain kind of proof establishing that one complexity class differs from another one. While these proofs are in some sense natural , it can be shown (assuming a widely believed conjecture… …
