Abstract

Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are a powerful tool and are frequently used in many applications in VLSI CAD, such as logic synthesis and verification. However, these data structures are very sensitive to variable ordering and their resulting size often becomes intractable for practical implementation. Several techniques for variable (re-)ordering have been proposed. (For an overview see [43])
