Two-block quantified Boolean formula

ID: two-block-quantified-boolean-formula

A propositional formula with two blocks of quantified Boolean variables. Determining the truth of an existential-then-universal instance is a canonical complete problem for the existential second level of the polynomial hierarchy, . For completeness one may restrict the matrix to a disjunction of terms with at most three literals. The order of the quantifiers matters: the assignment to must work for every assignment to .
