Abstract :
This paper presents an algorithm for finding, for any given Boolean function, a least cost three-level AND-NOT network having uncomplemented inputs where the cost criterion is the number of gates. The approach taken is similar to the Quine-MeCluskey algorithm for two level AND/OR network synthesis.
