| Disjunctive normal form | In Boolean logic, Disjunctive Normal Form (DNF) is a method of standardizing and normalizing logical formulas. As a normal form, it is useful in automated theorem proving. A logical formula is considered to be in DNF if and only if it is a disjunction of one or more conjunctions of one or more literals. As in Conjunctive Normal Form, the only propositional operators in DNF are and, or, and not. The not operator can only be used as part of a literal, which means that it can only precede a propositional variable. (references) | ||
