Abstract

A heuristic method for the determination of optimum or near-optimum fixed polarity Reed-Muller (FPRM) representation of multiple output, completely specified Boolean systems is presented. The Reed-Muller (RM) tree representation forms the conceptual framework for the method, which involves manipulations of arrays of cubes. A coding method that is well adapted to RM tree representation is presented. The minimisation method takes as input a disjoint sum of cubes representation of the Boolean system. Using Karpovsky's complexity estimates as the basis for polarity selection, the method obtains the FPRM expansion by generating in one run an optimum or near optimum Reed-Muller tree representation.
