An Incompletely specified function is a Boolean function that only define output values for a subset of its inputs - i.e. a Boolean function whos output is a don't care for at least one of its input combinations. Incompletely specified functions often make no guarantees as to the unspecified output whatsoever.

Overview

In many situations when working with combinational circuits, some combinations of inputs should not occur under normal working conditions. For circuits with such combinations, those combinations can be treated as either 0 or 1 depending on whichever yields a more simplified Boolean expression.
