C-Form of Switching Functions and Its Applications

Abstract

C-Form of switching function is one of the canonical froms of switching functions, which is defined by the three usual operations (addition, multiplication and scalar multiplication) over the real field, instead of the logical operations. In this paper, we consider some properties of switching functions by using this form and apply them to the analysis of the cycle structure of autonomous sequential circuits. These results are expressed in terms of linear algebra. A method of learning identification for sequential circuits is derived and discussed.
