I need a reference that points out the fact
that quantified monotone boolean formulas
are decidable in linear time.
A monotone boolean formula is composed of ANDs
ORs and boolean variables, no negations.
They are decided, just by plugging in 0 for xj when
xj is quantified with forall, and 1 when
xj is quantified with exists. Iff the
assignment evaluates to true, the quantification
is valid.
I remeber discussing this briefly on comp.theory
in early 1998, but I do not know any citation.
Thanks for your help, please send email.
