title = "Synthesis of MVL functions - Part II: The ant colony optimization approach",
abstract = "In this paper, an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based algorithm for synthesis of Multiple-Valued Logic (MVL) functions is proposed. The algorithm is tested using 50000 randomly generated 2-variable 4-valued functions. The proposed approach was compared to the existing direct cover techniques [2] [6] [7] as well as the approach proposed in [9]. The results obtained show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other approaches in terms of the average number of product terms required to realize a given MVL function.",
