A Complete Diagrammatic Calculus for Boolean SatisfiabilityArticle

Authors: Tao Gu ; Robin Piedeleu ; Fabio Zanasi

We propose a calculus of string diagrams to reason about satisfiability of Boolean formulas, and prove it to be sound and complete. We then showcase our calculus in a few case studies. First, we consider SAT-solving. Second, we consider Horn clauses, which leads us to a new decision method for propositional logic programs equivalence under Herbrand model semantics.
