A Karnaugh map (KM or K-map) is a diagram that can be used to simplify a Boolean algebra expression. Maurice Karnaugh introduced it in 1953 [ 1 ] [ 2 ] as a refinement of Edward W. Veitch 's 1952 Veitch chart , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] which itself was a rediscovery of Allan Marquand 's 1881 logical diagram [ 5 ] [ 6 ] (aka.
There are 2 n minterms of n variables, since a variable in the minterm expression can be in either its direct or its complemented form—two choices per variable. Minterms are often numbered by a binary encoding of the complementation pattern of the variables, where the variables are written in a standard order, usually alphabetical.
Positive maps are monotone, i.e. () for all self-adjoint elements ,. Since ‖ ‖ ‖ ‖ for all self-adjoint elements , every positive map is automatically continuous with respect to the C*-norms and its operator norm equals ‖ ‖.
Karnaugh map of AB ∨ A C ∨ BC. Omitting the red rectangle does not change the covered area. Omitting the red rectangle does not change the covered area. In Boolean algebra , the consensus theorem or rule of consensus [ 1 ] is the identity:
The current example illustrations of K maps on this page are atrociously har to read due to the coloration system used. Such simple examples are made so awfully difficult to make out. I propose replacing these with normal, standard K map illustrations that use colored outlines and no shading. 152.3.68.83 19:26, 5 March 2013 (UTC) Agreed.
Because a + b + c = K for all substances being graphed, any one variable is not independent of the others, so only two variables must be known to find a sample's point on the graph: for instance, c must be equal to K − a − b. Because the three numerical values cannot vary independently—there are only two degrees of freedom—it is ...
For a function of n variables the number of prime implicants can be as large as /, [25] e.g. for 32 variables there may be over 534 × 10 12 prime implicants. Functions with a large number of variables have to be minimized with potentially non-optimal heuristic methods, of which the Espresso heuristic logic minimizer was the de facto standard ...
