Map Simplification

The complexity of the logic diagram that implements a Boolean function is related directly to the complexity of the algebraic expression from which the function is implemented. The truth table representation of a function is unique, but the function can appear in many different forms when expressed algebraically. The expression may be simplified using the basic relations of Boolean algebra. However, this procedure is sometimes difficult because it lacks specific rules for predicting each succeeding step in the manipulative process. The map method provides a simple, straightforward procedure for simplifying Boolean expressions. This method may be regarded as a pictorial arrangement of the truth table which allows an easy interpretation for choosing the minimum number of terms needed to express the function algebraically. The map method is also known as the Karnaugh map or K-map.
