Still not minimal — better grouping: m8,m9,m11? Not valid. Instead, m8,m9,m10,m11 would be a 4-cell group, but m10=1010 is not in the function. So m11 isolated.
For POS, you’d group zeros, but that’s another example. | Group Size | Variables Eliminated | Example (4-var) | |------------|----------------------|------------------| | 1 cell | 0 | A'B'C'D' | | 2 cells | 1 | A'B'C' (D gone) | | 4 cells | 2 | A'B' (C,D gone) | | 8 cells | 3 | A' (B,C,D gone) | | 16 cells | 4 (all) → 1 or 0 | Always 1 | 8. Conclusion 4-variable Karnaugh maps provide a visual, error-resistant method for minimizing logic functions up to 4 inputs. By correctly grouping adjacent 1s (or 0s) and using don't-care conditions, one can achieve the simplest SOP or POS form, reducing gate count in digital circuits. mapas de karnaugh 4 variables ejemplos resueltos

Let's list: m0(0000)=1, m2(0010)=1, m5(0101)=1, m8(1000)=1, m10(1010)=1, m15(1111)=1. Don't cares: m3(0011)=X, m7(0111)=X, m12(1100)=X, m13(1101)=X. Still not minimal — better grouping: m8,m9,m11
