Boolean Satisfiability Problem

Boolean Satisfiability or simply **SAT is the problem of determining if a Boolean formula is satisfiable or unsatisfiable.

**Satisfiable : If the Boolean variables can be assigned values such that the formula turns out to be TRUE, then we say that the formula is satisfiable.
**Unsatisfiable : If it is not possible to assign such values, then we say that the formula is unsatisfiable.

**Examples:

F = A \wedge \bar{B} , is satisfiable, because A = TRUE and B = FALSE makes F = TRUE.
G = A \wedge \bar{A} , is unsatisfiable, because:

A	\bar{A}	G
TRUE	FALSE	FALSE
FALSE	TRUE	FALSE

**Note : Boolean satisfiability problem is NP-complete (For proof, refer Cook's Theorem).

Boolean Satisfiability Problem

What is 2-SAT Problem

2-SAT is a special case of Boolean Satisfiability Problem and can be solved
in polynomial time.

To understand this better, first let us see what is Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) or also known as Product of Sums (POS).

**CNF : CNF is a conjunction (AND) of clauses, where every clause is a disjunction (OR).
Now, 2-SAT limits the problem of SAT to only those Boolean formula which are expressed as a CNF with every clause having only **2 terms(also called **2-CNF).

**Example: F = (A_1 \vee B_1) \wedge (A_2 \vee B_2) \wedge (A_3 \vee B_3) \wedge ....... \wedge (A_m \vee B_m)

Thus, Problem of 2-Satisfiability can be stated as:

**Given CNF with each clause having only 2 terms, is it possible to assign such values to the variables so that the CNF is TRUE?

**Examples:

Input : F = (x1 \vee x2) \wedge (x2 \vee \bar{x1}) \wedge (\bar{x1} \vee \bar{x2})Output : The given expression is satisfiable. (for x1 = FALSE, x2 = TRUE)Input : F = (x1 \vee x2) \wedge (x2 \vee \bar{x1}) \wedge (x1 \vee \bar{x2}) \wedge (\bar{x1} \vee \bar{x2})Output : The given expression is unsatisfiable. (for all possible combinations of x1 and x2)

Approach for 2-SAT Problem

For the CNF value to come TRUE, value of every clause should be TRUE. Let one of the clause be (A \vee B) . **= TRUE

If A = 0, B must be 1 i.e. (\bar{A} \Rightarrow B)
If B = 0, A must be 1 i.e. (\bar{B} \Rightarrow A)

Thus,

(A \vee B) = TRUE is equivalent to (\bar{A} \Rightarrow B) \wedge (\bar{B} \Rightarrow A)

Now, we can express the CNF as an Implication. So, we create an Implication Graph which has 2 edges for every clause of the CNF.
(A \vee B) is expressed in Implication Graph as edge(\bar{A} \rightarrow B) \ & edge(\bar{B} \rightarrow A)

Thus, for a Boolean formula with ‘m’ clauses, we make an Implication Graph with:

2 edges for every clause i.e. ‘2m’ edges.
1 node for every Boolean variable involved in the Boolean formula.

Let’s see one example of Implication Graph.

Approach for 2-SAT Problem

**Note: The implication (if A then B) is equivalent to its contrapositive (if \bar{B} then \bar{A} ).
Now, consider the following cases:

**CASE 1: If edge(X \rightarrow \bar{X})exists in the graphThis means (X \Rightarrow \bar{X})If X = TRUE, \bar{X} = TRUE, which is a contradiction.But if X = FALSE, there are no implication constraints.Thus, X = FALSE

**CASE 2: If edge(\bar{X} \rightarrow X)exists in the graphThis means (\bar{X} \Rightarrow X)If \bar{X} = TRUE, X = TRUE, which is a contradiction.But if \bar{X} = FALSE, there are no implication constraints.Thus, \bar{X} = FALSE i.e. X = TRUE

**CASE 3: If edge(X \rightarrow \bar{X}) \& edge(\bar{X} \rightarrow X)both exist in the graphOne edge requires X to be TRUE and the other one requires X to be FALSE.Thus, there is no possible assignment in such a case.

**CONCLUSION:

If any two variables X and \bar{X} are on a cycle i.e. path(\bar{A} \rightarrow B) \& path({B} \rightarrow A) both exists, then the CNF is unsatisfiable. Otherwise, there is a possible assignment and the CNF is satisfiable.
Note here that, we use path due to the following property of implication:
If we have (A \Rightarrow B) \& (B \Rightarrow C), then A \Rightarrow C
Thus, if we have a path in the Implication Graph, that is pretty much same as having a direct edge.

**CONCLUSION FROM IMPLEMENTATION POINT OF VIEW:

If both X and \bar{X} lie in the same SCC (Strongly Connected Component), the CNF is unsatisfiable.
A Strongly Connected Component of a directed graph has nodes such that every node can be reach from every another node in that SCC.
Now, if X and \bar{X} lie on the same SCC, we will definitely have path(\bar{A} \rightarrow B) \& path({B} \rightarrow A) present and hence the conclusion.
Checking of the SCC can be done in O(E+V) using the Kosaraju’s Algorithm
