SUMMARY
Shannon's Expansion Theorem provides a method for simplifying Boolean functions by expressing them in terms of a chosen variable. In the discussion, the function f is represented as f = x1'x2'x3' + x1x2'x3' + x1x2x3' + x1x2x3. The user seeks clarification on applying this theorem to design a 2-to-1 multiplexer, where x1 serves as the control input. Understanding this theorem is crucial for digital circuit design and optimization.
