Takeaways
- 📚 The video explains how to perform De Morgan's simplification in logical expressions.
- 🔍 Dominant operators in an expression are either 'OR' or 'AND', identified with a bar over multiple terms.
- 📝 Brackets in logical expressions serve to group terms, similar to how a bar collects them under it.
- ✅ The rule of De Morgan's simplification involves changing the dominant operator while applying bars to sub-expressions.
- 🔄 Simplification proceeds by working top-down, applying the rule to remove large bars and repeating the process for smaller bars.
- ✂️ Double bars in an expression cancel out, allowing further simplifications.
- 💡 The expression is rewritten after each simplification step, starting with the dominant operator and moving layer by layer.
- 🔄 The process involves rewriting terms, changing operators, and removing redundant bars or brackets as necessary.
- 🧠 Final expressions are often bracketed where larger bars have been removed for clarity.
- 🧮 The ultimate goal is to simplify the expression using truth tables, K-maps, or other logical rules, resulting in a minimal expression.
Q & A
What is the dominant operator in an expression with a large bar?
-The dominant operator in an expression with a large bar can only be 'OR' or 'AND'.
How do you identify a dominant operator in a logical expression?
-The dominant operator is identified by observing the terms under the large bar or within brackets. The dominant operator is the one that connects the largest sub-expressions.
What is the role of a bar in a logical expression?
-A bar over a term or sub-expression negates it. It acts like a bracket, collecting the terms under it, similar to how parentheses group terms.
What is the process for removing a large bar from an expression?
-When removing a large bar, you bar each sub-expression and change the dominant operator from 'OR' to 'AND' or vice versa.
What is a De Morgan term in a logical expression?
-A De Morgan term occurs when a bar goes over more than one letter, meaning it negates an entire sub-expression rather than just one variable.
How do you simplify an expression after removing the large bar?
-After removing the large bar, you repeatedly apply the same rule to smaller bars within the expression, simplifying it step by step until no De Morgan terms are left.
What does 'A bar bar equals A' mean in the context of De Morgan's simplification?
-'A bar bar equals A' is a rule stating that double negation cancels out, so the term becomes its original form without the bars.
How are the sub-expressions and operators typically highlighted in a logical expression?
-Sub-expressions are often circled or highlighted in red, while operators are shown in green to distinguish between the components of the expression.
Why do some terms in the final expression get removed during simplification?
-Some terms are removed during simplification due to redundancy, such as when a term includes both a variable and its negation (e.g., B and B bar), which results in zero.
What is the role of a truth table in the final simplification?
-The truth table helps in visualizing the output of each logical expression, allowing you to pinpoint when an expression evaluates to zero or simplifies further.

🔍 Understanding Dominant Operators and Sub-expressions
This paragraph introduces the concept of dominant operators and sub-expressions in logic simplification. It explains that operators such as 'or' and 'and' can dominate expressions, and how these operators are used in conjunction with brackets or bars to group terms. The example provided helps to identify the dominant operator (in this case 'and') and emphasizes the importance of applying De Morgan's laws to simplify expressions layer by layer until all bars are removed.
✏️ Applying Brackets and Removing Bars
Here, the focus is on the practical steps involved in simplifying an expression using De Morgan's laws. The paragraph explains how to remove large bars from an expression and apply necessary brackets to maintain the structure. It also covers the process of changing operators from 'or' to 'and' (or vice versa) and removing double bars from terms, which helps to simplify the expression further.
🧮 Final Simplification Using the Truth Table
The final paragraph demonstrates the use of a truth table for completing the last step of expression simplification. It involves working through each term in the expression, placing values in the truth table, and systematically simplifying until the final answer is obtained. The example concludes with the answer being determined by identifying a key zero in the table and simplifying accordingly.

hello and welcome in this video I'm
going to show you how to do the Morgan's
simplification before we start you have
to learn what is an operator and what is
a sub expression there you can see I
have indicated the dominant operators in
green the dominant operator of any
expression under a large bar can only
either be or or and in this case the
dominant operator is or and we know this
because the sub expressions there are
the sub expressions are contained
between the dominant operator a bracket
over a term is the same as a bar it
collects the terms under it just like
the bracket collects the terms within it
so here's another example can you spot
the dominant operator and the sub
expressions if you said and you would be
correct because and is the dominant
operator between these sub expressions
and there we have the sub expressions
circled in red the rule is to bar the
sub expressions and change the dominant
operator at the same time when removing
the big bar and then you subsequently
perform the same rule as you remove
smaller bars under the big bar start
from the top of the expression and work
down in layers
using the rule above repeatedly when you
remove each bar until no DeMorgan terms
are left ad morgan term is anytime a bar
goes over more than one letter continue
to simplify using the rules or karnaugh
maps after you finish removing all the
morgan terms until you get to the
simplest form now we're ready to apply
the rule to our first problem notice
I've written the sub expressions with
space between them and the big bar or
gray bar that goes over everything
completely removed here's what we do we
have changed from an R to an and and we
have put a bar over each of the sub
expressions now we rewrite the
expression removing the double bars over
the first and the third term and we have
rewritten the expression leaving a space
so that when we remove the bar over the
middle term we have an opportunity to
change the operator observe how we do
that that is the application of our same
rule to the bar that still remains the
de Morgan's term that still remains in
the middle of our expression once again
we can remove the double bar as we copy
back the expression
finally as you can see we have applied
brackets wherever a big bar was removed
in the first case we remove the gigantic
bar over the entire expression so we
bracketed well that top set of brackets
is not necessary because it brackets the
entire expression but when we remove the
double bars in the third sub expression
we had to bracket that and when we
remove the bar in the middle expression
as part of the expansion we had to
bracket that as well finally we see that
the big bars have been removed
wherever they go over more than one
letter
we sub-expressions are in red and the
operators are in green just as we did in
the last video and finally the rule that
allows us to remove the double bars is a
bar bar equal to a let's apply this rule
to the second expression first we remove
the big bar and we write out each of the
sub expressions with another bar over it
changing the operators as we did before
the first and the third term from the
left we need to use that procedure again
and the second and the fourth term from
the left half double bars which can
simply be removed we do that now first
removing the bar and barring the things
underneath and changing the operator and
then removing the double bars finally we
can remove the brackets in this
expression because it doesn't change the
sense of the operation we have ORS which
dominate and what's in the brackets is
and we only usually need to use brackets
when we have an x' dominating and ORS in
the brackets think the sum of products
and product of sums notice that the
product of sums has the brackets and is
sum of products does not so just like in
ordinary mathematics the brackets are
required for addition but not for
multiplication we're now ready to do our
final simplification first on the first
expression and then on the second so we
multiply out the brackets which should
give us four terms we multiply the a bar
C with
a bar and the B bar and then we multiply
the a bar C with the a bar and the C and
then finally we switch to the a bar CB
and multiply it with first the B bar and
then the C as shown now we can remove
redundant letters as you can see we have
we can remove an a bar from the first
term and a bar from annecy from the
second term the third term goes to zero
and we remove the CC in the last term
why does the third term go to zero well
as you can see it has B and B bar and
there is the rule that allows us to get
a zero for that third term finally we
can extract the B bar from the first
term using the rule for the first and
second and use the second term with the
last term to extract the B which gives
us a final answer of a bar C let us
complete the final simplification of the
second expression and we're going to do
that using the truth table so we take
the first term XY bar and we put in the
ones and then we take the next term XY
we put in the ones we do the same thing
for y bar z bar and X bar Z and we are
left with only one zero in the function
and that zero gives us our final answer
of X or Y bar or Z thanks for watching
and see you in the next video
