Abstract

Application of Boolean algebra to the logical design of switching circuits is discussed. It is pointed out that for the design of a circuit requiring the minimum number of elements the Boolean function must be minimized by either an algebraic or a graphical method. A graphical method developed at the Institute of Mathematical Machines, Czechoslovakia, for minimizing a Boolean function is described.
