Graph driven BDDs — a new data structure for Boolean functions
1995
Theoretical Computer Science
Since an ordering of the variables may be stored as a list, OBDDs may also be called list driven BDDs. Two new generalized models of graph driven BDDs are presented. ...
The above mentioned and many other functions can be represented in small polynomial size in this model and the usual operations on OBDDs can be performed efficiently also for graph driven BDDs. ...
Furthermore, we have proved that the clever lower bound technique due to Bryant [9] works only for list driven BDDs and not for graph driven BDDs or for read-once branching programs. ...
