  • Abstract
    The geometric map described in this paper is a graphic representation, using vectors, of the conditions desired in the design of switching networks. This mapping technique makes the well-known techniques such as Boolean algebra, the Quine-McCluskey minimization chart, and Huffman´s flow table more effective when designing optimum circuits. Its degree of flexibility in the selection of vectors is advantageous in certain problems.
