Functions Introduction A function represents a logical relationship between one or more input variables (operands) and an output variable (result). Boolean functions take binary values (0 or 1) as inputs and produce binary values as outputs. The function is defined by specifying the output value for every possible combination of input values. Boolean algebra is a fundamental concept that deals with the algebraic structures of sets, particularly with operations such as conjunction, disjunction, and negation. It plays a crucial role in the design and optimization of digital circuits, as well as in the development of algorithms and programming languages. Boolean Algebra.

Boolean 02.

Basic Concepts and Operations Logical Operators Boolean algebra is based on three fundamental logical operations: AND, OR, and NOT. The AND operator represents the intersection of two sets, where both conditions must be true for the result to be true. The OR operator represents the union of two sets, where at least one condition must be true for the result to be true. The NOT operator negates the value of a statement, transforming true into false and false into true. Basic Boolean Laws and Identities ● Commutative Law: p AND q = q AND p ● Associative Law: p AND (q AND r) = (p AND q) AND r ● Distributive Law: p AND (q OR r) = (p AND q) OR (p AND r) These laws and identities provide a formalized way to manipulate and simplify complex Boolean expressions, making it easier to analyze and design logical circuits. These operators form the building blocks of Boolean algebra and are used to manipulate logical values, making it a fundamental tool in digital logic design and computer science..

NOT Basic principles and operations The AND is a fundamental logic that produces an output only when all its inputs are true. The OR is another crucial logic that generates an output when at least one of its inputs is true. The NOT, also known as an inverter, produces an output that is the inverse of its input. The XOR (Exclusive OR) outputs true only when the number of true inputs is odd. AND OR XOR.

Functions 03.

Functions and representations Boolean functions ● In Boolean algebra, a Boolean function is a function that maps a set of inputs to a set of outputs, where both the inputs and outputs are binary values (0 or 1). These functions play a crucial role in digital logic design, as they can express logical operations and decision-making processes. Truth tables ● A common way to represent Boolean functions is through truth tables, which provide a systematic way to list all possible combinations of input values and the corresponding output of the function. This visual representation helps in understanding the behavior and logic of the function..

Difference in Boolean & mathematical function ● Domain and Range: Mathematical functions can have continuous or discrete domains and ranges, while Boolean functions have finite domains and ranges limited to binary (0 or 1). ● Output Values: Mathematical functions output real or complex numbers, while Boolean functions output binary values. ● Representation: Mathematical functions can be represented algebraically, graphically, or geometrically, whereas Boolean functions are typically represented with truth tables, Boolean expressions, or logic gates. ● Operations: Mathematical functions involve arithmetic and mathematical operations, whereas Boolean functions involve logical operations. ● Applications: Mathematical functions are used in various fields, while Boolean functions are primarily applied in digital logic, computer science, and electronics..

Algebraic Expressions Representation of Functions Functions can also be represented using algebraic expressions, which involve variables, constants, and mathematical operations. Truth tables used to represent the outputs of a logical function for all possible combinations of inputs. Each row in the truth table represents a unique combination of inputs, and the corresponding output is indicated. Truth Tables.

Example X1 AND is an example of a Boolean function commonly used in digital logic circuits. It takes two or more input signals and produces an output signal that is True (1) only if all the input signals are True (1). Represented By – ( A . B ) Here's the truth table for a two-input AND function : A B A and B - ( A . B ) 0 - F 0 - F 0 – F 0 – F 1 - T 0 – F 1 - T 0 - F 0 - F 1 - T 1 - T 1 - T.

Example X2 OR is also an example of a Boolean function commonly used in digital logic circuits. It takes two or more input signals and produces an output signal that is True (1) when at least one of the input signals are True (1). Represented By – ( A + B ) Here's the truth table for a two-input OR function : A B A or B - ( A + B ) 0 - F 0 - F 0 – F 0 – F 1 - T 1 - T 1 - T 0 - F 1 - T 1 - T 1 - T 1 - T.

Example X3 NOT is another example of a Boolean function commonly used in digital logic circuits. It takes only one input signal and produces an output signal that is opposite to the input. Represented By – ( ~A ) Here's the truth table for the one-input NOT function : A Not A - ( ~A ) 0 - F 1 - T 1 - T 0 – F.

Example X4 XOR is an example of a Boolean function commonly used in digital logic circuits. It takes two or more input signals and produces an output signal that is True (1) only if both the input signals are True (1) or False(0). Represented By – ( A ⊕ B ) Here's the truth table for a two-input XOR function : A B A xor B - ( A ⊕ B ) 0 - F 0 - F 1 - T 0 – F 1 - T 0 – F 1 - T 0 - F 0 - F 1 - T 1 - T 1 - T.

STD Forms 05.

Minterms Standard Forms In the standard Disjunctive Normal Form / Sum of Products Form, a Boolean function is expressed as the logical OR of multiple logical AND terms (products). In the standard Conjuctive Normal Form / Product of Sums Form, a Boolean function is expressed as the logical AND of multiple logical OR terms (sums). Minterms are the product terms in which all variables appear once in either true or complemented form. Each minterm corresponds to a unique combination of inputs. Maxterms are the sum terms in which all variables appear once in either true or complemented form. Each maxterm corresponds to a unique combination of inputs. DNF / SOP CNF / POS Maxterms.

DNF / SOP Disjunctive Normal Form : ( Sum of Product ) Let, f : Bn → B be a Boolean function. Then, f ( x1, x2, . . .xn ) = ( m1 ∪ m2 ∪ . . . ∪ mn ) Where, m1 = xi ∩ xj.

CNF / POS Conjuctive Normal Form : ( Product of Sum ) Let, f : Bn → B be a Boolean function. Then, f ( x1, x2, . . .xn ) = ( m1 ∩ m2 ∩ . . . ∩ mn ) Where, m1 = xi ∪ xj.
