In mathematical logic, more specifically in the proof theory of first-order theories, extensions by definitions formalize the introduction of new symbols by means of a definition. For example, it is common in naive set theory to introduce a symbol for the set which has no member. In the formal setting of first-order theories, this can be done by adding to the theory a new constant and the new axiom , meaning "for all x, x is not a member of ". It can then be proved that doing so adds essentially nothing to the old theory, as should be expected from a definition. More precisely, the new theory is a conservative extension of the old one.
