F =( A * (B(Compliment))) + C (Compliment)) XOR ((A*B(compliment)CD(compliment)) NOR (B * D(compliment))

To solve and simplify the given Boolean expression:

\[
F = \left( A \cdot \overline{B} + \overline{C} \right) \oplus \left( (A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) \downarrow (B \cdot \overline{D}) \right)
\]

where:
- \( \overline{B} \) denotes the complement (NOT) of \( B \),
- \( \oplus \) denotes XOR (exclusive OR),
- \( \cdot \) denotes AND (multiplication),
- \( + \) denotes OR (addition),
- \( \downarrow \) denotes NOR.

### Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. **Left Side:**
   \[
   A \cdot \overline{B} + \overline{C}
   \]
   This part involves a simple OR operation between \( A \cdot \overline{B} \) and \( \overline{C} \).

2. **Right Side:**
   \[
   (A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) \downarrow (B \cdot \overline{D})
   \]
   This is the NOR operation between two terms:
   - The first term: \( A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D} \),
   - The second term: \( B \cdot \overline{D} \).
   
   The NOR operation is equivalent to \( \overline{(A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) + (B \cdot \overline{D})} \).

3. **Apply XOR:**
   The final step is to perform an XOR between the result of the left-hand side and the simplified result of the right-hand side.

#### Simplification Steps:
Let's proceed step-by-step to simplify each part:

1. **Simplify the left-hand side:**
   \[
   A \cdot \overline{B} + \overline{C}
   \]
   This expression cannot be simplified further and remains as it is.

2. **Simplify the right-hand side:**
   We need to simplify:
   \[
   (A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) \downarrow (B \cdot \overline{D}) = \overline{(A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) + (B \cdot \overline{D})}
   \]
   First, simplify the OR:
   \[
   (A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) + (B \cdot \overline{D})
   \]
   This expression involves two terms, but they cannot be simplified further because they don't share common factors. Thus, the NOR is:
   \[
   \overline{(A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) + (B \cdot \overline{D})}
   \]

3. **Final Expression:**
   The Boolean function \( F \) is:
   \[
   F = \left( A \cdot \overline{B} + \overline{C} \right) \oplus \overline{(A \cdot \overline{B} \cdot C \cdot \overline{D}) + (B \cdot \overline{D})}
   \]

This expression involves an XOR operation, so the simplification of the expression would require testing its behavior in truth tables to see if further reduction is possible.
