Block-folding and variable-folding are widely used techniques for reducing the physical area of Programmed Logic Arrays (PLA). Both block-and variable-folding problems are known to be NP-hard. We define the compatibility graph of a PLA as the complement of its column-disjoint graph, and prove that both block-folding and variable-folding can be solved in polynomial time on PLA whose compatibility graph does not contain a claw or a (K5 − e) as induced subgraph.
