Abstract
This paper offers a novel treatment of the generalized Type-2 problem, a prominent fundamental problem of digital circuit design. We adapt the input-domain constraining technique via utilization of Variable-Entered Kamaugh Maps (VEKMs) together with careful employment of modem don't-care notation. Our analysis covers the cases when an honest translator is possible or a sneaky translator is warranted, and is effective whether side inputs are absent or present, and for scalar or vectorial outputs.
