Research Type Theoretical The main result of this paper deals with the structure of clause minimum CNFs. We prove here that if a Boolean function f admits a representation by a matched CNF then every clause minimum CNF representation of f is matched. The paper is structured as follows. We start by introducing the necessary notation, definitions and basic results in Section 2. In Section 3 we prove that testing logical equivalence for matched CNFs is co-NP-complete and further use the idea from this proof to show that BM for matched formulas is Σp 2-complete. This is a known fact, but the current proof is much shorter and simpler. Section 4 studies prime representations of functions defined by matched CNFs (possibly nonprime). We prove that every such function has at least one prime representation which is matched. Finally, in Section 5 we study the structure of clause minimum representations of functions defined by matched CNFs. Using the result from Section 4 we prove that if a Boolean function f admits a representation by a matched CNF then every clause minimum CNF representation of f is matched.
