Abstract :
Generalized mergeability criteria for merging an arbitrary number of output sequences have been established under conditions of stochastic dependence and independence of line errors. In this paper, we report experimental results on ISCAS 85 benchmark circuits which were targeted for space compaction using these generalized mergeability criteria
