Switching function canonical forms based on commutative and associative binary operations: The switching function
Peter Calingaert · Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers Part I Communication and Electronics · 1961
It is often convenient to consider the arguments of a switching function to be the components zero or 1 of a vector. It is appropriate, therefore, to employ a vector notation for the theory of switching. The notation developed by Iverson1 for the study of automatic data processing is admirably suited, with a few modifications, to the theory of switching as well. Those features of the Iverson notation that are appropriate have been adapted for the present discussion, and are set forth below.
