Abstract :
A kind of ternary logic function called ternary-extended-from-binary (TEB) logic function is introduced, its relationship to previously studied B-ternary logic is mentioned, and its relationship to the evaluation of binary logic functions is studied. A method of evaluating binary logic functions using TEB-ternary functions is proposed. An advantage of the method is that it is possible to avoid unnecessary searches.<>
