Zadeh, as the extensions of Boolean functions many multiple-valued logic functions permitted to take truth values besides 0 and 1 have been investigated. Each one of multiple-valued logic functions motivated by the concept of fuzzy sets is one of the models of Kleene algebras, which have almost of the properties holding in Boolean algebras excluding the complementary laws. On the other hand, Kleene-Stone algebras have been proposed by G. Epstein and M. Mukaidono which have properties both Kleene algebras and Stone algebras. Therefore, it is considered that Kleene-Stone algebras correspond to non-classical logic system besides that of Kleene algebras. In the paper, we describe a typical example of Kleene-Stone algebras, which is called Kleene-Stone logic functions. Some properties of Kleene-Stone logic functions are clarified in the paper, especially an algorithm to derive a minimal form of a given Kleene-Stone logic function.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":137138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 24th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL'94)","volume":"884 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133847390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper proves that there are 2/sup r/-2 Boolean maximal sets in r-valued set logic and gives their description using equivalence relations. A set F is then Boolean complete if it is not a subset of any of these 2/sup r/-2 Boolean maximal sets, which is a completeness criteria in many-valued set logic under compositions with Boolean functions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":137138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 24th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL'94)","volume":"22 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120938823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Any positive resistance in series with an RTD can give rise to hysteresis, especially at high frequencies, The hysteresis effect limits the operation of some multi-valued circuits, but can be utilized to produce some useful functions in other applications. In most applications, the input connection and the output connection are sequentially clocked to achieve isolation. An RTD can achieve higher operating frequency operation than conventional devices, and the maximum operating frequency is often limited by the dynamic hysteresis effect.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":137138,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 24th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic (ISMVL'94)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121878065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
