Thesis
Guan, Z. A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4340

Reed-Muller algebraic techniques, as an alternative means in logic design, became more attractive recently, because of their compact representations of logic functions and yielding of easily testable circuits. It is claimed by some researchers that R... Read More about A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques.
