Description
Abstract:	The approach to minimization of multiple-output combinational systems considered in this study is based on the directed search algorithm that was designed for single-output system. Here the directed search algorithm is extended to minimize multiple-output systems. Unlike most minimization techniques, the algorithm in this study does not identify and select implicants in two separate operations, but rather, it identifies and selects implicants in a single operation.
