Use a Karnaugh map to minimize the following SOP expression:

F(A,B,C,D)=AˉDˉ+ABˉDˉ+AˉCˉD+AˉCDF( A, B, C, D) = \bar{A}\bar{D}+A\bar{B}\bar{D}+\bar{A}\bar{C}D+ \bar{A}C D

Map the SOP expression on a 4-variable Karnaugh map. Note that the four cells in the four corners are also adjacent and they can form a group in Figure 3.6.12.
The resulting minimum SOP expression is

F(A,B,C,D)=Aˉ+BˉDˉF(A,B,C,D)={\bar{A}}+{\bar{B}}{\bar{D}}
