Get started for freeShow that \({\bf{x\bar y + y\bar z + \bar xz = \bar xy + \bar yz + x\bar z}}\).
Let \({\bf{x}}\) and \({\bf{y}}\) belong to \(\left\{ {{\bf{0,1}}} \right\}\). Does it necessarily follow that \({\bf{x = y}}\) if there exists a value \({\bf{z}}\) in \(\left\{ {{\bf{0,1}}} \right\}\) such that,
\(\begin{array}{l}{\bf{a) xz = yz?}}\\{\bf{b) x + z = y + z?}}\\{\bf{c) x}} \oplus {\bf{z = y}} \oplus {\bf{z?}}\\{\bf{d) x}} \downarrow {\bf{z = y}} \downarrow {\bf{z?}}\\{\bf{e) x}}|{\bf{z = y}}|z{\bf{?}}\end{array}\)
A Boolean function \({\bf{F}}\) is called self-dual if and only if \({\bf{F}}\left( {{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{, \ldots ,}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right){\bf{ = }}\overline {{\bf{F}}\left( {{{{\bf{\bar x}}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{, \ldots ,}}{{{\bf{\bar x}}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right)} \).
Show that \({\bf{F}}\left( {{\bf{x, y, z}}} \right){\bf{ = x y + x z + y z}}\) has the value \(1\) if and only if at least two of the variables \({\bf{x, y}}\), and \({\bf{z}}\) have the value \(1\) .
Use a \({\bf{K}}\)-map to find a minimal expansion as a Boolean sum of Boolean products of each of these functions in the variables \({\bf{w, x, y}}\) and \({\bf{z}}\).
\(\begin{array}{l}{\bf{a) wxyz + wx\bar yz + wx\bar y\bar z + w\bar xy\bar z + w\bar x\bar yz}}\\{\bf{b) wxy\bar z + wx\bar yz + w\bar xyz + \bar wx\bar yz + \bar w\bar xy\bar z + \bar w\bar x\bar yz}}\\{\bf{c) wxyz + wxy\bar z + wx\bar yz + w\bar x\bar yz + w\bar x\bar y\bar z + \bar wx\bar yz + \bar w\bar xy\bar z + \bar w\bar x\bar yz}}\\{\bf{d) wxyz + wxy\bar z + wx\bar yz + w\bar xyz + w\bar xy\bar z + \bar wxyz + \bar w\bar xyz + \bar w\bar xy\bar z + \bar w\bar x\bar yz}}\end{array}\)
Draw the Hasse diagram for the poset consisting of the set of the \({\bf{16}}\)Boolean functions of degree two (shown in Table \({\bf{3}}\) of Section \({\bf{12}}{\bf{.1}}\)) with the partial ordering \( \le \).
