Abstract: A significant problem in electronic system design is that of partitioning the functional elements of an equipment schematic into subsets which may be regarded as modules. The collection of all such subsets generated by a particular partitioning forms a potential modular design. The specific problem is to determine that partitioning of the schematic that minimizes a cost function defined on the subsets subject to specified hardware, design, packaging, and inventory constraints. This problem is termed the modularization problem. This paper presents a method for obtaining restricted solutions to the modularization problem by employing some recent developments in linear graph theory obtained by one of the coauthors. Numerical results from the solution of several typical problems are presented.
