Boolean Matrices and the Design of Combinational Relay Switching Circuits
Franz E. Hohn, L. Robert Schissler · Bell System Technical Journal · 1955
The p-terminal generalization of a two-terminal switching function is a matrix of switching functions representing the conditions under which the terminals are interconnected. The properties of these “switching matrices” are studied, and examples are given to show how they may be employed effectively in the design of switching circuits. Some basic problems are outlined and a bibliography is attached.
