Abstract

In this paper we introduce new algebraic forms, SOP +  and DSOP + , to represent functions f:{0,1}n →ℕ, based on arithmetic sums of products. These expressions are a direct generalization of the classical SOP and DSOP forms. We propose optimal and heuristic algorithms for minimal SOP +  and DSOP +  synthesis. We then show how the DSOP +  form can be exploited for Data Mining applications. In particular we propose a new compact representation for the database of transactions to be used by the LCM algorithms for mining frequent closed itemsets.
