  • Abstract
    A simple refinement of Morreale´s method yields a useful criterion to identify and cancel the redundant subfunctions generated in the application of the Pi-algorithm. Use of such a criterion improves the efficiency of the algorithm. Extension to multiterminal Boolean functions is also presented.
