Satisfiability Problem:

The problem to determine if there exists an interpretation that would satify a given boolean formula is known a satisfiability problem.

  • In a given Boolean formula it is asked whether it’s variables could be replaced by values “TRUE” or “FALSE” such that formula evaluates to “TRUE”.
  • In such a case, the boolean formula is called satisfiable.
  • Otherwise, if there is no such assignment possible and the function becomes “FALSE” for all variable assignments possible, then the formula is unsatisfiable.

3-Satisfiablity:

The satisfiability of a formula stated in a conjunctive normal (CNF) form is been determined where each clause is been limited to atmost three literals, such a problem is termed as 3-satisfiability problem.

Explanation of Solution

Boolean expression with one variables:

Consider an instance when an alternative in a Boolean expression has two variables.

A = q1

Convert the above satisfiablity problem into 3-satisfiability problem by generating the below expression. Transform each clause into a conjunction of “n-2” clauses, where “n” denotes the total count of literals in all clauses.

A' = (q1xy)((q1¬xy)(

Construct a subprogram that solves the differential equation set dy g(y,t)dt dt with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with different parameters from those given in the text. Use the total number of components in y and the initial condition y(0) = yo as the input to the subprogram. Test the fitness of the parameters by comparing the numerical result from the subprogram and the known exact result for the motion of Earth.
Prove the axiomatic program as described below:
What is the Truth value of the Expression ∀ (x)P(x) in each of the following interpretation? P(x) is the property that X is yellow, and the domain of interpretation is the collection of all buttercups. P(x) is the property that x is yellow, and the domain of interpretation is the collection of all flowers. P(x) is the property that x is plant, and the domain of interpretation is the collection of all flowers. P(x) is the property that x is either positive or negative , and the domain of interpretation
