Abstract
Fast transforms for computing modulo-2 ring-sum canonical expansions o f a Boolean function are described using Kronecker products of element ary Boolean matrices. These transforms unify and generalize existing o nes in the literature. Previous algorithms which employ such transform s for finding a minimal fixed polarity expansion (FPE) are reviewed, a nalyzed, and extended to a minimal fixed basis expansion (FBE).
