- I am looking for references on ternary IF-THEN-ELSE connectives in
- logic. Church, for instance, treats expressions of the form [A,B,C],
- meaning "(B -> A) & (~B -> C)", in his book "Introduction to
- mathematical logic".
-
- Does anyone know of other papers/books on this? I am aware of Bauer &
- Wirsing (1991), Orlowska (1967 and 1969), and Shannon (1938).
-
- I am not looking for references on BDDs, which are closely related to
- this, but on publications written from a logical point of view. The
- reason I am asking is that I am writing a paper on BDDs and intend to
- give a brief description of the (historical) background. So, references
- to early publications are appreciated as well.
-
- As this is probably not of general interest, please respond by email.
-
- Thanks in advance
-
- Joachim.
