BooleanMinterms

BooleanMinterms[k,n]

represents the k^(th) minterm in n variables.

BooleanMinterms[{k1,k2,…},n]

represents the disjunction of the minterms ki.

BooleanMinterms[{{u1,…,un},{v1,…},…}]

represents the disjunction of minterms given by the exponent vectors ui, vi, ….

BooleanMinterms[spec,{a1,a2,…}]

gives the Boolean expression in variables ai corresponding to the minterms function specified by spec.

BooleanMinterms[spec,{a,a2,…},form]

gives the Boolean expression in the form specified by form.
