  • Abstract
    Given an incompletely specified index generation function, the number of variables to represent the function can often be reduced by properly assigning don´t care values. In this paper, we derive a lower bound on the number of variables necessary to represent a given incompletely specified index generation function. We also derive three properties of incompletely specified index generation functions. We confirm these properties by experiments using random index generation functions.
