Maxterms

• Variables appears exactly once in each maxterm, in true or inverted form (but not both)

short-hand notation formaxterms of 3 variables

F in canonical form: F(A,B,C) = ?M(0,2,4) = M0 • M2 • M4

= (A+B+C)(A+B'+C)(A'+B+C)

canonical form ? minimal form F(A,B,C) = (A+B+C)(A+B'+C)(A'+B+C)

= (A+B+C)(A+B'+C)•

(A+B+C)(A'+B+C)

= (A + C) (B + C)
