On Indication of External Factors by Circuits of Functional Elements

Abstract

We consider functions f(x ₁, ..., x _n , z ₁, ..., z _m ) of k-valued logic, where x ₁, ..., x _n are ordinary k-valued variables and z ₁, ..., z _m are improper k-valued variables indicating external factors. An algorithm is presented for designing a circuit of k-valued functional elements, which realizes a k-valued indicator z, z ∈ {z ₁, ..., z _m }.
