Boolean logic — is a complete system for logical operations. It was named after George Boole, who first defined an algebraic system of logic in the mid 19th century. Boolean logic has many applications in electronics, computer hardware and software, and is the… … Wikipedia
Boolean algebra (logic) — For other uses, see Boolean algebra (disambiguation). Boolean algebra (or Boolean logic) is a logical calculus of truth values, developed by George Boole in the 1840s. It resembles the algebra of real numbers, but with the numeric operations of… … Wikipedia
Boolean-valued function — A boolean valued function, in some usages a predicate or a proposition, is a function of the type f : X → B, where X is an arbitrary set and where B is a boolean domain.A boolean domain B is a generic 2 element set, say, B = {0, 1}, whose… … Wikipedia
Circuit minimization — In Boolean algebra, circuit minimization is the problem of obtaining the smallest logic circuit (Boolean formula) that represents a given Boolean function or truth table. The general circuit minimization problem is believed to be intractable,[1]… … Wikipedia
Canonical form (Boolean algebra) — In Boolean algebra, any Boolean function can be expressed in a canonical form using the dual concepts of minterms and maxterms. Minterms are called products because they are the logical AND of a set of variables, and maxterms are called sums… … Wikipedia
DFA minimization — In computer science, more specifically in the branch of automata theory, DFA minimization is the task of transforming a given deterministic finite automaton (DFA) into an equivalent DFA that has minimum number of states. Here, two DFAs are called … Wikipedia
