Abstract :
Based on the new concept of permissible functions, a heuristic procedure to design logic networks with as few gates as possible, without guaranteeing the minimality of designed networks, is developed. This procedure, which is drastically different from conventional logic-design procedures, is called the transduction method, because an initial network designed by any conventionally known logic-design method is first transformed into a different network configuration and then reduced to a simpler network by calculating permissible functions at the outputs of gates and connections throughout the network
