Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A Horn function is a Boolean function where each of its prime implicants contains at most one negative literal. A class of Boolean functions is considered where a single term containing two negative literals is added (logically or-ed) to a Horn function. We show that the function does not contain any prime implicant having three negative literals. We also show that if two terms having two negative literals are added to a Horn function then it may have many prime implicants containing three negative literals. We show that the tautology problem for the considered class of Boolean functions given in disjunctive normal form is P-complete.
