A method for the combined row-column reduction of flow tables
A. Grasselli, Fabrizio Luccio · Annual Symposium on Switching & Automata Theory · 1966
A systematic method for the combined row-column reduction of incompletely specified flow tables is presented. A generalized cover of a flow table is defined in terms of compatibility classes of rows and columns. The problem of finding a minimal generalized cover is solved by an integer-restricted linear program, or, equivalently, by a tabular method.
