An Improved Algorithm for the Simplification of Switching Functions Using Unique Identifiers on a Karnaugh Map
Alan B. Marcovitz, Charles M. Shub · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 1969
The use of unique identifiers to indicate covered terms in a Karnaugh map minimization algorithm significantly improves the chances of obtaining a minimum cover for complex functions. This correspondence presents a technique that takes advantage of unique identifers.
