    Study Notes

    Course Overview

    • Boolean algebra is integral to logic circuits and digital design, originating from mathematician George Boole.
    • Focuses on operations with logical elements, variables, and operators, utilizing axioms and postulates.
    • Course outcomes include relating Boolean operations to circuits, proving theorems, reducing expressions, and producing function complements.

    Basic Postulates and Theorems

    • Closure: Structures are closed under operators '+' (OR) and '⋅' (AND).
    • Identity:
      • ( x + 0 = x )
      • ( x \cdot 1 = x )
    • Complement:
      • ( x + x' = 1 )
      • ( x \cdot x' = 0 )
    • Theorems:
      • ( x + x = x ) and ( x \cdot x = x )
      • ( x + 1 = 1 ) and ( x \cdot 0 = 0 )

    Properties and Principles

    • Involution: ( (x')' = x )
    • Commutative:
      • ( x + y = y + x )
      • ( x \cdot y = y \cdot x )
    • Associative:
      • ( x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z )
      • ( x \cdot (y \cdot z) = (x \cdot y) \cdot z )
    • Distributive:
      • ( x(y + z) = xy + xz )
      • ( x + yz = (x + y)(x + z) )
    • DeMorgan’s Theorems:
      • ( (x + y)' = x'y' )
      • ( (xy)' = x' + y' )
    • Absorption:
      • ( x + xy = x )
      • ( x(x + y) = x )

    The Duality Principle

    • Every algebraic expression is valid when operators and identities are interchanged; proofs for theorems exhibit duality.

    Operator Precedence

    • Parentheses, NOT, AND, and OR determine the order of operations in Boolean expressions.

    Boolean Functions

    • Defined by algebraic expressions of binary variables with operations/0s and 1s.
    • Represented via truth tables, algebraic expressions, or logic circuit diagrams.
    • A single Boolean function has one truth table but multiple algebraic forms or circuit diagrams.

    Expression Reduction

    • Simplification of Boolean expressions reduces circuit complexity:
      • Example function ( f = x'y'z + x'yz + xy' ) can be simplified to ( f_1 = x'y' + x'z + xy' ) using Boolean rules.
    • Simplification process maintains equality, proven through truth tables.

    Function Complementation

    • The complement of a function ( f ) changes output 1 to 0, or 0 to 1, denoted ( f' ).
    • Obtained by adding inverters or applying DeMorgan's theorems.
    • Examples show complements through manipulation of algebraic expressions.
