DESCRIPTION:Eleonora Testa\nEDIC candidacy exam\nExam president: Prof. Pao
 lo Ienne\nThesis advisor: Prof. Giovanni De Micheli\nCo-examiner: Prof. Vi
 ktor Kuncak\n\nAbstract\nMajority logic has recently gained much popularit
 y\; it has been employed in logic synthesis to optimize Boolean functions\
 , and it naturally abstracts many emerging nanotechnologies. Majority logi
 c is closely related to threshold logic\, which is at the core of many neu
 ral networks. In this research plan\, three papers on majority logic are p
 resented: the first work (1962) presents a majority-based synthesis proced
 ure that works with truth tables\; the second paper (2016) introduces Majo
 rity-Inverter Graphs (MIGs)\, a data structure for Boolean functions based
  on the 3-input majority function\; the last paper (2007) concerns the app
 lication of logic synthesis in nanotechnology. A detailed research plan is
  presented\, focusing mainly on algorithms based on majority and threshold
  logic. The theoretical results in our research are validated on nanotechn
 ology applications in a practical context.\n\nBackground papers\nS. B. Ake
