Abstract

An one to one and onto mapping between the set of conjunctive normal forms and a subset of the potential functions of static electricity fields is constructed; and it has been further proved that a conjunctive normal form is satisfiable if and only if the minimum of the corresponding potential function is zero. It is also shown that the local search method has the same physical model as the gradient method given in this paper.
