Abstract: The set covering problem and the minimum cost assignment problem (respectively known as unate and binate covering problem) arise throughout the logic synthesis flow. This paper investigates the complexity and approximation ratio of two lower bound computation algorithms from both a theoretical and practical point of view. It also presents a new pruning technique that takes advantage of the partitioning. 1 Introduction The (unate or binate) covering problem is a well known intractable problem. ... (Update)

...the essential columns found form a minimal solution. Otherwise, the problem can be solved exactly by branch and bound algorithm [11]. In this scheme, a high lower bound and a low upper bound on the optimal solution are extremely effective in terminating useless searches....

...in the ability to solving large and complex instances of BCP. Examples of these techniques include, among others, partitioning [3], limit lower bound [4] negative thinking [8] for unate covering) and linear programming lower bounds [10] Despite these improvements,...
