Abstract :
RM (Reed-Muller) expansions have shown advantages compared with the traditional SOP (Sum-of-Products) forms in the areas of arithmetic logic, reversible logic synthesis and Boolean quantum circuit design. A new algorithm is presented for the conversion between SOP and RM forms of multiple output functions. This procedure is based on the cube set expressions and therefore independent on number of input variables. A verification method is also proposed to make sure the algorithm is correct. The experimental results show that the conversion algorithm is effective in terms of time for very large Boolean functions up to 199 inputs and 67 outputs.
