| 11. | The NAND gate is significant because any boolean function can be implemented by using a combination of NAND gates.
|
| 12. | The boolean function \ rho is the principal component of the regularity 4-tuple, which is defined as
|
| 13. | Minimizing Boolean functions by hand using the classical Karnaugh maps is a laborious, tedious and error prone process.
|
| 14. | The largeness condition requires that the property hold for a sufficiently large fraction of the set of all boolean functions.
|
| 15. | Thus, identity of Boolean functions computed by read-once branching programs can be reduced to polynomial identity testing.
|
| 16. | The only canonical way to do this is to extend it with " all " possible Boolean functions.
|
| 17. | In addition to storing states and performing Boolean functions, these structures can interact, create, and destroy static structures.
|
| 18. | Each gate corresponds to some Boolean function that takes a fixed number of bits as input and outputs a single bit.
|
| 19. | A knowledge of the length of the shift register and the boolean function of the gates will yield the PR pattern.
|
| 20. | Any particular Boolean function can be represented by one and only one full disjunctive normal form, one of the canonical forms.
