Abstract
This paper is concerned with an algorithm for Boolean factoring. In an earlier paper [1993], the author proposed a new algorithm for Boolean factoring that does not require any minimization step. The technique used for generating Boolean products rests on the notion of elementary rectangle. In this paper, we present two substantial improvements to this algorithm. The first is a new factoring strategy. The second is a new expansion technique. The modified algorithm outperforms the original one both in efficiency and quality of results.>
