De Morgan's Laws

Natural & Formal Sciences Dictionary
Definition
Rules in propositional logic and set theory stating that the negation of a conjunction equals the disjunction of the negations, and the negation of a disjunction equals the conjunction of the negations (¬(A∧B) ⇔ ¬A∨¬B and ¬(A∨B) ⇔ ¬A∧¬B), with corresponding set complement analogues.

Definition
Two algebraic rules that describe how complementation (logical negation or set complement) distributes over the binary operations of union and intersection (or OR and AND): the complement of a union equals the intersection of the complements, and the complement of an intersection equals the union of the complements.
