What is the SAT problem?

The SAT problem, also known as the Boolean satisfiability problem, is a fundamental problem in computer science and mathematics. It involves determining whether there exists an assignment of truth values to a given set of Boolean variables that satisfies a given Boolean formula. In other words, it asks whether a given logical expression can be made true by assigning appropriate truth values to its variables. The SAT problem is NP-complete, meaning that it is believed to be computationally difficult to solve efficiently for large instances. It has numerous applications in areas such as artificial intelligence, circuit design, and software verification.
