Two new sets of results are presented that extend work on state assignment for multilevel logic implementation previously reported by the authors (see Proc. IEEE/ACM 25th Design Autom Conf., p.433-8, 1988). Results are presented for several state assignment algorithms that were compared using an improved logic optimization method. The resulting logic implementations were smaller in absolute size and showed considerably more variation in random state assignment than in previous experiments. A new set of experiments that compare state assignment implementations in two-level and multilevel implementations using randomly generated state assignments is reported. These experiments show that, for the benchmark set used, a state assignment that gives a good two-level implementation also gives a good multilevel implementation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
