Technology independent optimization when implementing sparse systems of disjunctive normal forms of Boolean functions in ASIC by P. N. Bibilo, S. N. Kardash

“…When implementing sparse DNF systems of Boolean functions in ASIC, along with traditional methods of joint minimization of systems of functions in the DNF class, methods for optimizing multilevel representations of Boolean function systems based on Shannon expansions can be used for technologically independent optimization, while separate minimization and joint minimization of the entire system as a whole turn out to be less effective compared with block partitions and coatings of the DNF system and subsequent minimization of multilevel representations. …”
