Minimization of Multidimensional Linear Iterative Circuits
Donald D. Givone, R.P. Roesser · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 1973
A model for two-dimensional linear iterative circuits is defined in the form of matrix equations. From the matrix equations, a two-dimensional characteristic function is defined. It is then proved that a matrix satisfies its two-dimensional characteristic function. This property is used to form a diagnostic matrix. Finally, the diagnostic matrix is used in a minimization technique.
