Minimum cover: heuristics<br />
• K-maps give optimal solution every time<br />
– Functions with > 6 inputs too complicated<br />
– Use computer-based tabular method<br />
• Heuristic<br />
• Finds all prime implicants<br />
• Finds min cover that is prime<br />
• Also optimal solution every time<br />
• Problem: 2 n minterms for n inputs<br />
– 32 inputs = 4 billion minterms<br />
– Exponential complexity<br />
– Solution technique where optimal solution not guaranteed<br />
– Hopefully comes close<br />
