ABSTRACT

The Boolean vector function synthesis problem can be stated as follows:  Given a truth table with N input variables and M output variables, synthesize a Boolean vector function that describes the table.  In this paper we describe a new formulation of the Boolean vector function synthesis problem as a particular type of Satisfiability Problem.  The Satisfiability Problem is translated into an integer programming feasibility problem, that is solved with an interior point algorithm for integer programming.  Preliminary computational results are presented.
