Sinossi

The fruits of this investigation were surprisingly abundant: it was apparent from an initial implementation of recursive logic minimiza­ tion (ESPRESSO-I) that, if we merged our new results into a two-level minimization program, an important step forward in automatic logic synthesis could result.
