New mathomatical simplification method of Karnaugh map

Zhu G · Hebei ke-ji daxue xuebao · 2012

A mathematical method is provided to get the combination solution of variables in the encircling of Karnaugh map.Based on the basic theory of K-map,two key points of the method are: Ascertaining the complementary variables by the differences of the corresponding decimal indexes of the two miniterms;Eliminating the complementary variables from the corresponding miniterm in the encircling and qetting get the combination results.The method provides more efficient and accurate way to simplify logic functions based on K-map.It can also be applied to Karnaugh map of any number of variables and to simplification by K-map with computer assistance.
