Algorithm-QuineMcCluskey
version 1.00
This module creates objects designed to solve boolean expressions via the Quine-McCluskey algorithm. Its effectiveness is dependent on the size of problem; the number of minterms that can be set goes up exponentially with the number of variables, which limits the size of the problems that can be solved.
Currently, a test with 12 variables (meaning there are 4,096 terms) takes 3 minutes to solve on a not-terribly-modern i7 Pentium laptop computer with 4G of memory. This would seem to be a reasonable upper limit to what this algorithm can solve.
