WEAK_DNF_CONV : conv

SYNOPSIS
Converts a term already in negation normal form into disjunctive normal form.

DESCRIPTION
When applied to a term already in negation normal form (see NNF_CONV), meaning that all other propositional connectives have been eliminated in favour of disjunction, disjunction and negation, and negation is only applied to atomic formulas, WEAK_DNF_CONV puts the term into an equivalent disjunctive normal form, which is a disjunction of conjunctions.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Never fails; non-Boolean terms will just yield a reflexive theorem.

EXAMPLE
  # WEAK_DNF_CONV `(a \/ b) /\ (a \/ c /\ e)`;;
  val it : thm =
    |- (a \/ b) /\ (a \/ c /\ e) <=>
       (a /\ a \/ b /\ a) \/ a /\ c /\ e \/ b /\ c /\ e

COMMENTS
The ordering and associativity of the resulting form are not guaranteed, and it may contain duplicates. See DNF_CONV for a stronger (but somewhat slower) variant where this is important.
