This book covers theory for analysis and design of logic networks and assumes the reader has knowledge of introductory material in digital networks. Approximately onehalf of the material is graduate level and the remaining part is suitable for advanced undergraduate courses. Chapter 1 contains a brief introduction to sets and Chapter 2 introduces algebraic systems. Some topics on logic elements and functions are discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 contains two methods to simplify AND-OR two level logic networks and Chapter 5 contains selected properties of various logic functions. Sequential networks are introduced in Chapter 6 and optimization of sequential networks is discussed in Chapter 7. Delay in logic networks is covered in Chapter 8. The remaining part of the book treats advanced topics. In particular, multi-valued input, two-valued output functions are studied in Chapter 9 and some heuristic minimization programs are introduced in Chapter 10. In Chapter 11, multi-level logic network synthesis is studied. Logic network design using modules is considered in Chapter 12 and in Chapter 13, logic network design using EXOR gates is discussed. There are exercises and brief bibliographical notes at the end of each chapter. A brief history of switching theory is given in an appendix and an extensive list of references appears at the end of the bock.
