Abstract :
The paper presents algorithms for two-level logic minimization of Boolean functions represented by Modified Binary Decision Diagrams (MBDs). MBDs allow the representation of the don´t care set in the same graph. The main goal is to produce prime and irredundant covers for these MBDs. A new kind of mixed two-level representation is adopted, where each cube is itself a MBD. Results obtained are comparable to those from ESPRESSO
