  1. \textbf{Definition - Unit Clause.} A clause $c$ is said to be a unit clause
  2. under some assignment $A$ if the following two conditions hold:
  3. \begin{enumerate}
  4. \item The clause $c$ is not satisfied by $A$.
  5. \item All but one of the variables in $c$ are given a value by $A$.
  6. \end{enumerate}
  7. Therefore, there is a single literal left in the set representing the clause under the assignment.
  8. An example would be:
  9. \begin{itemize}
  10. \item $c = \{a, b, \lnot c\}$
  11. \item $A = \{\lnot a, c\}$
  12. \item $c[A] = \bot \lor b \lor \bot$, in set representation: $\{b\}$
  13. \end{itemize}
