The Prospects for Multivalued Logic: A Technology and Applications View
Abstract
Advances in multiple-valued logic (MVL) have been inspired, in large part, by advances in integrated circuit technology. Multiple-valued logic has matured to the point where four-valued logic is now part of commercially available VLSI IC's. Besides reduction in chip area, MVL offers other benefits such as the potential for circuit test. This paper describes the historical and technical background of MVL, and areas of present and future application. It is intended, as well, to serve as a tutorial for the nonspecialist.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
