Negation normal form
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A logical formula is in negation normal form if negation occurs only immediately above elementary propositions, and {
} are the only allowed Boolean connectives. In classical logic each formula can be brought into this form by replacing implications and equivalences by their definitions, using De Morgan's laws to push negation inside, and eliminating double negations. This process can be represented using the following rewrite rules:
A formula in negation normal form can be put into the stronger conjunctive normal form or disjunctive normal form by applying the distributivity laws.
