Abstract
There exist a number of methods for finding minimal or nonminimal irredundant solutions of switching functions. Recently in a paper by Marcovitz and Shub, an improved algorithm for simplifying switching functions using a Karnaugh map is suggested. The present study extends the basic idea of the authors in finding minimal and nonminimal irredundant solutions by using the cover table representation of switching functions instead of the map.
