Boolean satisfiability problem
The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) is a fundamental question in computer science and logic. It asks whether there exists a set of values (true or false) for a given set of variables that makes a complex logical statement true. For example, if you have statements with conditions like "A or B" and "not A", SAT seeks to determine if you can assign truth values to A and B that satisfy all the conditions. SAT is important in fields like artificial intelligence, optimization, and circuit design, as it helps solve problems involving complex decision-making and configuration.
