The example given at the beginning is somewhat unsuitable because the boolean part is already valid, and therfore true for any combination of Quantifiers 134.2.102.191 (talk) 14:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

and

It would be nice to have a comparison with and ( and , respectively) too. 129.240.71.6 (talk) 16:40, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellany addition

Quantified monotone boolean formulas are linearly decidable. Just plug in True for existentially quantified variables, and False for universally quantified variables, then evaluate.

Additionally, the number of valid quantifications of a boolean formula is equal to the number of satisfying assignments of the boolean formula. (i.e. #P=#PSpace). 24.33.70.144 (talk) 21:24, 1 March 2014 (UTC)Daniel Pehoushek[reply]

This article is not self-contained.

There is no mention of MA (Merlyn/Arthur) before the mention in the paragraph starting:

Provided that MA ⊊ PSPACE, ...

What means that?

I am not expert in Complexity Theory, please can someone rewrite this article in a self contained style. State what is the problem, what has been discovered to build QBF and in what extent can them be solved in practice. What problems remain to be solved. And a schema to guide the reader into this subject.
