Abstract:

The structure of a canalizing function is discussed. Using a new matrix product, namely semitensor product, the logical function is expressed in its matrix form. From its matrix expression, a criterion is obtained to test whether a logical function is a canalizing function. Then a formula is obtained to calculate the number of canalizing functions. Moreover, an algorithm is presented to generate canalizing functions. Finally, some results obtained are extended to seminested canalizing functions.

Key words: Canalizing function Boolean function Seminested canalizing function
