ESOP expression minimizationincompletely specified functionsnonlinear integer optimizationlogic circuitsA novel approach is suggested in this paper for the minimization of Boolean expressions. This is particularly useful in logic synthesis, since it leads to simpler logic circuit implementations. Although the ...
The most significant limitation of the Karnaugh map is that it is only efficient when the Boolean expression has less number of variables. It becomes quite complicated with the higher number of variables in the logical expression. The simplification of a Boolean function having more than or equal...
An application of linear programming to the minimization of Boolean functions A method is described for converting a boolean expression to a disjunctive normal equivalent (two level OR-AND circuit) which is minimal under some criteri...

1952; Quine Problem Definition Find a minimal sum-of-products expression for a Boolean function. Consider a Boolean algebra with elementsFalseandTrue. A Boolean functionf(y1, y2, …, yn) ofnBoolean input variables specifies, for each combination of input variable values, the function’s ...
This chapter presents methods to derive a fixed polarity Reed-Muller expression (FPRM) and a Kronecker expression (KRO) having the minimum number of products for a given logic function. The minimization methods use EXOR ternary decision diagrams (ETDDs) and multi-terminal binary decision diagrams ...
An XPath expression defines a way of navigating an XML tree and returns the set of nodes which are reachable from one or more starting nodes through the paths specified by the expression. The problem of efficiently answering XPath queries is very interesting and has recently received increasing ...
This command creates a variable called cpto with the value given by the MATLAB expression expr. TensCalc looks for zero entries in expr and will eventually use its sparsity structure to optimize the code. The value of variables declared with Tconstant will be hard-wired into the code of the...
Section 4. describes how the problem of minimizing a given test suite can be reduced to determining a minimal column coverage of a Boolean matrix, and in Section 5. we present some conclusions. Test suite minimization for embedded nondeterministic finite state machines 239 2. PRELIMINARIES This ...

Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider two standard variants of this problem. The first one is two-level logic minimization or finding a minimal DNF formula...
