Heuristic minimization of Boolean relations using testing techniques
Abhijit Ghosh, Srinivas Devadas, A. Richard Newton · 2002
Minimization of Boolean relations is important from the point of view of synthesis, especially in synthesis for testability. A very fast heuristic procedure for finding an optimal sum-of-products representation for a Boolean relation is described. Starting with a function compatible with the relation, a process of iterative logic improvement based on test generation techniques is used to derive a minimal function compatible with the Boolean relation.>
