چکیده
In this paper a Boolean minimization algorithm is considered and implemented as an applet in Java. The application is based on the Quine-McCluskey simplification technique with some modifications. The given application can be accessed on line since it is posted on the World Wide Web (WWW), with up to four variables, at the URL http://www.csam.montclair.edu/∼antoniou/bs. After extensive testing, the performance of the algorithm has been found to be excellent. The proposed application is a useful aid for students and professors in the fields of electrical and computer engineering and computer science as well as a valuable tool for digital designers.

Logic Synthesis for Disjunctions of Boolean Functions
This paper develops theoretical foundations and presents a practical algorithm for optimizing multi-output Boolean function M(x) whose outputs are combined using Boolean OR operator into a single-output Boolean function S(x). The proposed algorithm simplifies the logic structure of function M(x) and may change or remove some of its outputs, while preserving the functionality of function S(x). A...
متن کاملCompact and Testable Circuits for Regular Functions
We propose a new synthesis approach based on the SPP three-level logic minimization of D-reducible Boolean functions. This approach supplies a new tool for efficient minimization, based on the idea of exploiting a Boolean function regularity to get more compact expressions. D-reducible functions can be efficiently synthesized giving rise to new four-level logic forms called DRedSPP. These forms...
متن کاملOn the Relationship between Abductive Reasoning and Boolean Minimization
Abductive reasoning involves determining a parsimonious set of explanations that can account for a set of observations. In the Boolean minimization problem, the designer attempts to express a Boolean formula as a sum of products or product of sums expression of the smallest size that satisfies the desired function. In this paper, we show that independent abduction problem can be encoded as an i...
متن کاملPrograming implementation of the Quine-McCluskey method for minimization of Boolean expression
A Boolean function is a function that produces a Boolean value output by logical calculation of Boolean inputs. It plays key roles in programing algorithms and design of circuits. Minimization of Boolean function is able to optimize the algorithms and circuits. Quine-McCluskey (QM) method is one of the most powerful techniques to simplify Boolean expressions. Compared to other techniques, QM me...
متن کاملMinimization of Boolean Functions
This thesis presents two new methods of test-per-clock BIST design for combinational circuits. One of them is based on a transformation of the PRPG code words into test patterns generated by an ATPG tool. This transformation is done by a combinational circuit. For a design of such a circuit two major tasks have to be solved: first, the proper matching between the PRPG code words and the test pa...
