•Given an ND relation, e.g. the complete
flexibility, its i-set is the set of input minterms that can produce output value i.
•For each i-set,
generate all its primes, Pi
•Form
covering table with
–one
column for each pj in Pi for all i
–one row
for each minterm in the input space
•Solve minimum covering problem
–Primes
chosen from Pk is the cover for kth i-set.
