Consider the function defined in
Tab. 1 whose PDNF is
(3) | |||
i.e. and are relevant, while is irrelevant.
Then, considering that every positive Boolean function can be expressed only through its relevant variable, we obtain that can be equivalently described by using only three variables (Tab. 2). Its irredundant PDNF is
Furthermore, the following expression profile, including , and , gives a compact representation of .
