Abstract :
The realization of arbitrary switching functions using the universal logic modules of Yau and Tang [1], [2] has the disadvantage that, in general, large trees of modules result. A decomposition theorem and an algorithm are given for reducing the size of such trees, using what is called a chain decomposition.
