Redundant Prime Implicants
The prime implicants for which each of its minterm is covered by some essential prime implicant are redundant prime implicants(RPI). This prime implicant never appears in the final solution.
Example of Redundant Prime Implicants
Here we have 2 examples of prime implicant for better understanding given below :
Various Implicants in K-Map
Implicant is a product/minterm term in Sum of Products (SOP) or sum/maxterm term in Product of Sums (POS) of a Boolean function. For example, consider a Boolean function, F = AB + ABC + BC. Implicants are AB, ABC, and BC.
In this article, we will explore various implicants in K-Map with examples for better understanding and k-map diagram. Also, we will look into the Boolean expressions formed for each k-map.
