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 αφ , αφ, α, αφ 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 α is α itself.
