Software minimization of ternary functions using Matlab

In this paper a minimization algorithm for ternary function based on the Hurst method is presented. The algorithm minimizes ternary functions with two, three and four input variables and was implemented using the Matlab environment. Both, the partial results and final expressions are provided. The final expressions are obtained by combining two different partial results and are with respect to the truth table for the ternary input function. The friendly and intuitive interface makes the implemented algorithm easy to use, without requiring any background in the field of ternary minimization.
