Such clause is either of the form $\{p\}$ where $p \in V$ is a variable, or $\{\lnot p\}$ for $p \in V$, or of the form $\{\lnot p_1, \ldots, \lnot p_n, q\}$ for $n \ge 1$, that is $p_1 \land \ldots \land p_n \rightarrow q$. | Such clause is either of the form $\{p\}$ where $p \in V$ is a variable, or $\{\lnot p\}$ for $p \in V$, or of the form $\{\lnot p_1, \ldots, \lnot p_n, q\}$ for $n \ge 1$, that is $p_1 \land \ldots \land p_n \rightarrow q$. | ||
