SOME REMARKS ON APPLICATION OF HIGHER ORDER KARNAUGH MAP TO RELIABILITY ORIENTATION

Abstract

In this paper the Karnaugh map is performed with some practical contributions from the point of engineering applications. The properties of adjacency of Karnaugh maps are more clearly explained by the equivalence existing between its planar representation and its axonometrical one. Some algorithms and examples are presented for a more easy understanding of the method of this map. A few reversion problems are presented and solved which seem important for system reliability evaluations and circuit designs. To avoid misunderstanding and save time to the reader a short appendix is given.
