A Distributive Law is a replacement rule between two set operations or arithmetic operations that is based on the corresponding Boolean algebra law.
- Context
- It is based on following Boolean algebra distributive laws:
- Distributivity of [math]\displaystyle{ \vee }[/math] over [math]\displaystyle{ \wedge }[/math]: [math]\displaystyle{ p \vee (q \wedge r) \equiv (p \vee q) \wedge (p \vee r) }[/math]
- Distributivity of [math]\displaystyle{ \wedge }[/math] over [math]\displaystyle{ \vee }[/math]: [math]\displaystyle{ p \wedge (q \vee r) \equiv (p \wedge q) \vee (p \wedge r) }[/math]
- It is based on following Boolean algebra distributive laws:
