In this paper, we intend to introduce a heuristic algorithm to apply maximum minimization to booleanfunctions with normal SOP form. To implement the proposed algorithm, we use the graph data structure and define the adjacencies. Also, we demonstrate some conditions to achieve the maximum minimization. Through this paper, the problem of shared vertices in more than one adjacency is talked, and the solution is presented. Also, don't-care statements are considered and the way of behaving with them is explained. Karnaugh map is used to clarify the matter.

The paper presents a new concept of the selection of prime implicants in a two-level logic minimization of boolean functions. The method is based on the two-level minimization process of the booleanfunctions, according to the Quine-McCluskey approach. Initially, the set of prime implicants for the logic function ought to be calculated. Next, the selection process is applied to achieve the minimal formula. Such an operation is a typical covering problem and in general case it has exponential computational complexity. In the paper we propose a new prime implicants selection method. An idea is based on the hypergraph theory. The prime implicants matrix (chart) is formed as a selection hypergraph. If the selection hyper-graph belongs to the Exact Transversal Hypergraph class (xt-doss), the solution may be obtained in a polynomial time, which is not possible in a general case. The proposed method is illustrated by an example All necessary steps will be shown in order to apply the proposed selection algorithm to minimize an exemplary boolean function.

A novel scheme has been devised to represent binary images as minimized booleanfunctions. The blocks corresponding to the essential prime implicants are stored as ternary numbers. The scheme has been shown to be simple and very much storage-saving. Based on this new scheme, the present paper describes the formula, computational techniques and algorithms of various set operations (viz. intersection, union, complement) and geometric operations (viz. area and centroid) on binary images. The computational complexities of the algorithms are also discussed. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

A scheme for representing binary images, based on minimization of boolean functions is introduced. The binary image is considered as a map of boolean function and the Quine-McCluskey method is applied to minimize the function. The terms of the minimized function represent the image. Drastic saving of storage is achieved compared to linear quadtrees and interpolation-based bintrees. Properties of the code are also discussed. Experiment shows that the number of codes required to represent a binary image by the proposed method is about 40% of that by the linear quadtree method and 55 to 60% of that by the interpolation-based bintree method.

The derivatives of a boolean function are defined up to any order. The Taylor and MacLaurin expansions of a boolean function are thus obtained. The last corresponds to the ring sum expansion (RSE) of a boolean function, and is a more compact form than the usual canonical disjunctive form. For totalistic functions the RSE allows the saving of a large number of boolean operations. The algorithm has natural applications to the simulations of cellular automata using the multi-site coding technique. Several already published algorithms are analyzed, and expressions with fewer terms are generally found.

A formal analysis is made of how project an attribute criterion into the hierarchical classes model for object by attribute data proposed by De Boeck and Rosenberg. The projection is conceptualized as the prediction of the attribute criterion by means of a logical rule defined on the basis of attribute combinations from the model. Eliminative and constructive strategies are proposed to find logical rules with maximal predictive power and minimal formula complexity. Logical analyses of a real data set are reported and compared with a logistic regression to demonstrate the usefulness of the logical strategies, and to show the complementarity of logical and probabilistic approaches.
