Abstract : The following problem arises in the context of object representation: given two endpoints of an interval in a Gray code table, find a Boolean function in DNF that represents this interval, with as few prime implicants as possible. This paper shows that there is a unique minimal representation and presents a polynomial algorithm that finds it.
