Abstract:
The paper is concerned with representations of predicates over a finite set in the form of generalized conjunctive normal forms (GCNF). Properties of predicates GCNF are found which are preserved by some majority function. Such predicates are called generalized bijunctive predicates. These properties are used to construct new faster polynomial algorithms for the generalized satisfiability problem in the case when some majority function preserves all the original predicates.
Keywords:predicate over a finite set, function over a finite set, majority function, bijunctive predicate, conjunctive normal form, generalized satisfiability problem (constraint satisfaction problems), polynomial problem.
