It has been claimed for some time that the Reed-Muller technique can yield a simpler arithmetic circuit if it is employed in the design procedure. In fact, no practical application in this field can be found in the open literature. This paper attempt... Read More about One-bit adder design based on Reed-Muller expansions.
