&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Implication graph.svg|thumb|360px|An implication graph representing the [[2-satisfiability]] instance &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\scriptscriptstyle(x_0\lor x_2)\land(x_0\lor\lnot x_3)\land(x_1\lor\lnot x_3)\land(x_1\lor\lnot x_4)\land(x_2\lor\lnot x_4)\land{}\atop\quad\scriptscriptstyle(x_0\lor\lnot x_5)\land (x_1\lor\lnot x_5)\land (x_2\lor\lnot x_5)\land (x_3\lor x_6)\land (x_4\lor x_6)\land (x_5\lor x_6).&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In [[mathematical logic]], an &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;implication graph&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a [[skew-symmetric graph|skew-symmetric]] [[directed graph]] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;G&amp;#039;&amp;#039;(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;V&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;E&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) composed of vertex set &amp;#039;&amp;#039;V&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and directed edge set &amp;#039;&amp;#039;E&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Each vertex in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;V&amp;#039;&amp;#039; represents the truth status of a [[Boolean literal]], and each directed edge from vertex &amp;#039;&amp;#039;u&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to vertex &amp;#039;&amp;#039;v&amp;#039;&amp;#039; represents the [[material implication]] &amp;quot;If the literal &amp;#039;&amp;#039;u&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is true then the literal &amp;#039;&amp;#039;v&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is also true&amp;quot;. Implication graphs were originally used for analyzing complex [[Boolean expression]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Applications==&lt;br /&gt;
A [[2-satisfiability]] instance in [[conjunctive normal form]] can be transformed into an implication graph by replacing each of its [[disjunction]]s by a pair of implications. An instance is satisfiable if and only if no literal and its negation belong to the same [[strongly connected component]] of its implication graph; this characterization can be used to solve 2-satisfiability instances in linear time.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|author = Aspvall, Bengt; [[Michael Plass|Plass, Michael F.]]; [[Robert Tarjan|Tarjan, Robert E.]]|title = A linear-time algorithm for testing the truth of certain quantified boolean formulas|journal = Information Processing Letters | volume = 8 | issue = 3 | pages = 121–123|year = 1979|doi = 10.1016/0020-0190(79)90002-4}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
