In logic and mathematics, skolmization is the process of replacing all existential quantifiers with Skolem constants. In formal logic, existential quantifiers are symbols that indicate the existence of at least one instance of a variable. Skolem constants are specific values that are used to represent the instances of a variable in a formula, allowing the formula to be evaluated or proven. Skolmization is often used as a step in the process of proving theorems in logic and mathematics.
