The sum-of-product type MVL (Multiple-valued logic) functions can be directly transformed into the exclusive-sum-of-literal-product(ESOLP) type MVL functions with a substitution of the OR operator with the exclusive-OR(XOR) operator. This paper presents an algorithm that can reduce the number of minterms for the purpose of minimizing the hardware size and the complexity of the circuit in the realization of ESOLP-type MVL functions. In Boolean algebra, the joinable true minterms can form the cube, and if some cubes form a cube-chain with adjacent cubes by the insertion of false cubes(or, false minterms), then the created cube-chain can become a large cube which includes previous cubes. As a result of the cube grouping, the number of minterms can be reduced artificially. Since ESOLP-type MVL functions take the MIN/XOR structure, a XOR circuit and a four-valued MIN/XOR dynamic-CMOS PLA circuit is designed for the realization of the minimized functions, and PSPICE simulation results have been also presented for the validation of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents a method for the generation of GRM coefncients over GF(3) by using a comparison of polarity. In general production method to GRM coefficients over GF(3) is searching for pn different polarity of an n-variable and from these optimal function according to the maximum number of zero coefficients is selected. This paper presents a method for the generation of GRM coefficients by means of compare to the number of zero coefficients without constructing the whole polarity GRM coefficients.

This paper presented a method of extracting algorithm for Edge Multiple-Valued Decision Diagrams(EMVDD), a new data structure, from Binary Decision Diagram(BDD) which is resently using in constructing the digital logic systems based on the graph theory. We discussed the function minimization method of the n-variables multiple-valued functions and showed that the algorithm had the regularity with module by which the same blocks were made concerning about the schematic property of the proposed algorithm. We showed the EMVDD of Full Adder by module construction and verified the proposed algorithm by examples. The proposed method has the visible, schematical and regular properties.

This paper presents a method of constructing multiple-valued logic functions based on Galois field. The proposed algorithm assigns all elements in GF(2**m) to bit codes that are easily converted binary. We have constructed an adder and a multiplier using a multiplexer after bit code operation (addition, multiplication) that is performed among elements on GF(2**m) obtained from the algorithm. In constructing a generalized multiple-valued logic functions, states are first minimized with a state-transition diagram, and then the circuits using PLA widely used in VLSI design for single and multiple input-output are realized.

This paper presents modular design techniques of multiple-valued logic functions about the function decomposition method and input variable management method. The function decomposition method takes avantage of the property of the column multiplicity in a single-column variable partitioning. Due to the increased number of identical modules, we can achieve a simpler circuit design by using a single T-gate, which can eliminate some of the control functions in the module libraty types. The input variable management method is to reduce the complexity of the input variables by proposing the look up table which assign input variables to a code. In this case as the number of sub-functions increase the code-length and the size of the code-assignment table grow. We identify some situations where shard input variables among sub-functions can be further reduced by a simplicication technique. According to the result of adapting this method to a function, we have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed methods which is bing decreased to about 12% of interconnection and about 16% of T-gate numbers compare with th eexisting for th enon-symmetric and irregular function realization.

This paper presents a production method to GRM coefficients which are consist of $P^n$ polarities to n variables over GF(p). In general production method to GRM coefficients is derived from RM coefficients to polarity 0 using RM expansion and extended to GRM coefficients. The procedure of proposed production method to GRM coefficients is consists of 2 steps. First, obtain the optimal polarity which is contains a minimal operation to single variable and then apply the same process to all generation process of GRM coefficients using cyclic property of the polarity. Proposed method simplify the generation procedure and reduces a number of operators because of the cyclic property of polarity.
