I did a quick hack by modifying power's constructor, eval() and expand(). This is very dirty. Your solution is much more elegant. Thanks a lot! Best regards, argama On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 5:16 AM, Vladimir V. Kisil <kisilv@maths.leeds.ac.uk>wrote:

The nearest solution I can propose, is to define a new function bool() of one variable and use, say, bool(x) and bool(y) instead of your Boolean variables x and y.
The point is: for a function you have possibility to define its own behaviour under exponentiation, in particular, bool(x)^2=bool(x).
