Definition:Singular Conjunction
From ProofWiki
Definition
Let $\Bbb B = \left\{{T, F}\right\}$ be a boolean domain.
A singular conjunction in the set of propositions of type $\Bbb B^k \to \Bbb B$ is a conjunction of $k$ literals that includes just one conjunct of each complementary pair $\left\{{x_j, \neg x_j}\right\}$ for each $j: 1 \le j \le k$.
A singular proposition $s : \mathbb B^k \to \mathbb B$ can be expressed as a singular conjunction:
- $s = e_1 \land e_2 \land \ldots \land e_{k-1} \land e_k$
where:
- $\forall j \in \left[{1\,.\,.\,k}\right]: e_j \in \left\{{x_j, \neg x_j}\right\}$
