Feb 28, 2014 at 15:31 comment added Peter Taylor Ahem. OR is, of course, not the same as + in GF(2). But * and + is still the conventional notation for operations over the Boolean semiring.

Feb 26, 2014 at 17:11 comment added Peter Taylor For the expression: rather than using A and V, why not * and +? That's fairly conventional use of field notation to represent GF(2).
Feb 26, 2014 at 16:47 comment added Justin @Howard Good point. I'll restrict it to 4 or less variables.
Feb 26, 2014 at 16:44 comment added Justin @PeterTaylor In priority: Biggest rectangles, then least number. That is a big rectangle, but it is redundant with the others because every 1 in it is already circled.
Feb 26, 2014 at 9:38 comment added Howard Also for higher number of variables you have to either go to n dimensional K-maps or you won't find all possible rectangles (they are no longer adjacent in the matrix).
Feb 26, 2014 at 9:33 comment added Howard @PeterTaylor You're right - didn't read that line. But still my main concern is correct: it is not unique. Or as your remark shows it is not optimal if you choose all rectangles.
Feb 26, 2014 at 9:29 comment added Peter Taylor Although @Howard's concern is partially answered by "rectangles whose dimensions are the largest possible powers of two", it's not obvious to me why you haven't also circled the entire row 10 and the bottom-right quadrant.
Feb 26, 2014 at 9:02 comment added Howard I think the grouping is not unique and therefore I might choose the most basic grouping (i.e. none).
