On a combinatorial problem for the set of binary vectors
K. D. Kirichenko Irkutsk State University, 1, K. Marx st., Irkutsk, 664003
Abstract:
In this paper we introduce a new combinatorial problem
for covering binary sets. This problem appears in connection to research of
complexity of ESOP. Shannon function is called maximum from complexities of
the shortest representation of each Boolean function. Hence the upper
bound of the Shannon function guarantees the existence of the representation
of any Boolean function with this complexity. It is important for applications.
As usual implicit algorithms of minimisation working with any Boolean function
are used for defining the upper bound of Shannon function. Previously we
have developed the algorithm of minimisation of Boolean functions in ESOPs which
uses the combinatorial technique connected with tasks of finding covering and
packing of binary sets. ESOP for given Boolean function is built by pattern which
is described of non-singular matrix over the field $Z_2$ in that earch row and
column matches any binary set. These binary sets should have the packing with
density $1+o(1)$ for getting the effective upper bound.
It is normal to use error-correcting linear codes for building a matrix
of pattern. In this case Hamming code may by used. And so it lets use
terms of the linear codes theory in definitions of combinatorial problems.
In this paper we investigate a problem which belongs to covering and packing design.
In doing so requirements to matrix impose several conditions to cover.
In this work some of possible covers are introduced which have been
described in terms of error-correcting linear codes.
Keywords:
boolean function, ESOP, Hamming code, covering design.
