Background,The main purpose of this chapter is to provide the necessary background for the ideas and algorithms presented in the following chapters. In the second section we define the basic concepts of Boolean algebra and of finite-state machines with binary inputs and outputs. This material is prerequisite for the rest of the chapter.

Introduction,. Despite numerous adverse predictions, “Moore’s Law” has held for the last 35 years, although recently the rate has slowed to about 1.5 times per year, or to quadrupling every three years [mein95]. In the dominant CMOS technology, the increase in integration comes with numerous beneficial effects.

Thus more powerful techniques are needed for optimizing parts of a design which are not specified as finite-state machines. To increase the size of the circuits that ca
