In Boolean algebra, any Boolean function can be expressed in the canonical disjunctive normal form , [1] minterm canonical form, or Sum of Products (SoP or SOP) as a disjunction (OR) of minterms. The De Morgan dual is the canonical conjunctive normal form ( CCNF ), maxterm canonical form , or Product of Sums ( PoS or POS ) which is a ...
In sum-of-products (SOP) form, AND gates form the smallest unit and are stitched together using ORs, whereas in product-of-sums (POS) form it is opposite. POS form requires parentheses to group the OR terms together under AND gates, because OR has lower precedence than AND. Both SOP and POS forms translate nicely into circuit logic.
The POS expression gives a complement of the function (if F is the function so its complement will be F'). [10] Karnaugh maps can also be used to simplify logic expressions in software design. Boolean conditions, as used for example in conditional statements, can get very complicated, which makes the code difficult to read and to maintain. Once ...
The Boolean satisfiability problem on conjunctive normal form formulas is NP-complete. By the duality principle, so is the falsifiability problem on DNF formulas. Therefore, it is co-NP-hard to decide if a DNF formula is a tautology. Conversely, a DNF formula is satisfiable if, and only if, one of its conjunctions is satisfiable.

It's not often Lewis Hamilton is tempted to give up in Formula 1. Hamilton eventually decided to carry on the race but finished a lowly 12th. Two penalties, a puncture and a “messed up” car ...
She first saw the ad on Facebook. And then again on TikTok. After seeing what appeared to be Elon Musk offering an investment opportunity over and over again, Heidi Swan figured it had to be true.
This expression says that the output function f will be 1 for the minterms ,,,, and (denoted by the 'm' term) and that we don't care about the output for and combinations (denoted by the 'd' term). The summation symbol ∑ {\displaystyle \sum } denotes the logical sum (logical OR, or disjunction) of all the terms being summed over.
