Canonical normal form

In Boolean algebra, any Boolean function can be expressed in the canonical disjunctive normal form (CDNF), minterm canonical form, or Sum of Products (SoP or SOP) as a disjunction (OR) of minterms. The De Morgan dual is the canonical conjunctive normal form (CCNF), maxterm canonical form, or Product of Sums (PoS or POS) which is a conjunction (AND) of…
