Variable sequence determining method for a dichotomy determination graph
 A variable sequence determining method for determining the optimum sequence of variables in generating a dichotomy determination graph representing a logical function of a two-step logical circuit. A logical expression representing a logical function in a two-step logical circuit is converted to a sum-of-products format for simplification. Then, the number of product terms represented in the positive or negative format in each variable in the logical expression is counted, and a variable having a larger number of said product terms is assigned a higher priority in generating a dichotomy determination graph, thus determining the sequence of variables in generating a dichotomy determination graph for a two-step logical circuit.
