Answer
Defining rows and columns of a 4 × 16 map for Boolean functions in six variables using the Gray codes
1111, 1110, 1010, 1011, 1001, 1000, 0000, 0001, 0011,
0010, 0110, 0111, 0101, 0100, 1100, 1101 to label the
columns and 11, 10, 00, 01 to label the rows need to be
considered adjacent so that cells that represent minterms
that differ in exactly one literal are considered adjacent
Work Step by Step
--Rows 1 and 4 are considered adjacent.
--The pairs of columns considered adjacent are:
- columns 1 and 4,
- 1 and 12,
- 1 and 16,
-2 and 11,
- 2 and 15,
-3 and 6,
- 3 and 10,
-4 and 9,
-5 and 8,
- 5 and 16,
-6 and 15,
- 7 and 10,
-7 and 14,
-8 and 13,
- 9 and 12,
- 11 and 14,
- 13 and 16.
