A Literal Code Method For Minimizing Boolean Functions

This paper describes a method for deriving minimal sums of Boolean functions. The method, unlike most others, does not assign numerical values to minterms. Instead it deals with minterms and terms directly by means of literals. The use of literals lends itself to an algebraic approach. The speed and efficiency of the calculations make the method suitable for handling functions of a relatively high number of literals.

Received September 1987. revised April 1990.
