  • Abstract
    The polynomial time algorithm obtained earlier by the authors is extended to find a minimal cardinality path set that long covers each lead or gate input of a digital logic circuit. It is shown how to find, in polynomial time, a minimal cardinality set MinMaxSP for a given combinational logic circuit. Combinational circuit verification is used to verify the sequential circuit delays
