Abstract

ABSTRACT The application of pattern recognition methods in the reduction of two-valued switching functions, in order to achieve minimum redundancy in the number of components, is well known. The object of the present study is to show that in certain special cases it is possible to synthesize switching systems by examining directly the topology of the switching function table and in this way to obtain a system which uses a minimum number of components. The alternative method in such cases is normally to apply the classical methods of Boolean algebra ; however, these are often lengthy and in many of the cases related to complex systems prove quite impracticable. The eventual aim of these pattern recognition techniques is to make possible the synthesis of so-called sequential switching systems.
