We consider the classification of detonation logic elements (DLE), tha
t is, devices in which logical operations are effected by means of exp
losive signals. The technical implementation of the DLE studied is bas
ed an the physical principle of the ''corner effect.'' Methods of desc
ribing the functional properties of DLE using Boolean functions are an
alyzed. Examples are given of the application of Boolean functions to
detonation elements of single-step and two-step logic.
