Decomposition of a group function is used to find a canonical form. We show that the Walsh spectrum specifies the canonical form, and the number of non-zero coefficients in the spectrum is proportional to the number of cells in the cascade. Finally, we show a design algorithm for a p-valued function f:{0, 1}/sup n//spl rarr/{0, 1, ..., p-1}. The designed cascades are reversible and conservative.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

Using an integrated suite of utility programs employing fast transforms, we provide statistics on the performance of six different algebras for two, three, four and five variables. Based on experimental results we suggest that the choice of basis functions has only a marginal effect for random samples from the entire function space. In addition we provide evidence which suggests that providing additional polarities has a more and more marginal effect upon efficiency.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

Next, for certain monoids whose centralizer is the smallest clone J/sub k/, we study the centralizers of some of its proper submonoids. In particular, we report the existence of a considerably small monoid whose centralizer is J/sub k/ as well.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

Thus, many optimization problems in Multiple-valued Logic Design have been successfully approached using ideas and techniques from Artificial Intelligence. In particular, improvements in multiple-valued logic design have been made by utilizing information/uncertainty measures. In this respect, the paper addresses the problem known as discretization and introduces a method of finding an optimal representation of continuous data in the multiple-valued domain. The paper introduces new information density measures and an optimization criterion. We propose an algorithm that incorporates new measures and is applied to both unsupervised and supervised discretization. The experimental results on continuous-valued benchmarks are given to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

The spectra of such MVL functions is of interest to circuit designers and automated design tool researchers and developers. Spectral transforms are described that are applicable to such functions over the elementary additive (mod(p)) Abelian groups. Three formulation of such transforms are described here; a linear transformation matrix derived front a group character table, a Kronecker-based expansion allowing for a 'fast' transform algorithm, and a Cayley graph spectrum computation. It is shown that a particular spectral transformation of a discrete mixed-radix function over Z/sub 6/ is equivalent to that over Z/sub 2/ /spl times/ Z/sub 3/ within a permutation. Also, it is shown that a Cayley graph may be formed over Z/sub 6/ with a generator corresponding to the discrete function of interest.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

In this paper we show that this problem can be avoided by implementing multiple-valued functions using the following technique. First, the input domain of an m-valued n-variable function f is partitioned into m m-valued input binary-valued output characteristic functions. Then, each of these functions is treated as a function of n/spl middot/m binary variables, representing the literals of the variables off. The fact that any multiple-valued function can be implemented that way is known. The main contribution of this paper is to show a technology, for which this type of implementation is natural and results in no hardware overhead.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

The SPICE simulation showed that the RTD with its peak-to-valley current ratio of 12 could increase the effective TMR ratio from 15% to more than 100%.
