Negational normal form

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Negative Normal form is way to represent the formula by keeping the negation symbol only to the literals.

If α and φ are boolean formulas, then α\bigwedgeφ , α\bigveeφ, \negα, α\longrightarrowφ are all boolean formulas. The boolean formulas are made up of literals which are propositional atoms. A formula can be converted to the NNF by simply moving the negations across braces either using De morgans laws or the property that \neg\negα is α itself.
