Boolean Minimization
Boolean Minimization is a process used in computer science and digital logic design to simplify Boolean expressions. The goal is to reduce the number of terms and variables in an expression while maintaining its original functionality. This simplification helps in designing more efficient circuits and algorithms.
Common methods for Boolean Minimization include Karnaugh Maps and Quine-McCluskey Algorithm. These techniques systematically eliminate redundant terms, making it easier to implement logic functions in hardware. By minimizing Boolean expressions, designers can create faster and more cost-effective digital systems.
