Abstract

This article gives an outline of a lecture about ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs). Introduced in 1986, OBDDs nowadays are the state-of-the-art data structure for representation of Boolean functions in electronic design automation (EDA). An overview is given about the data structure, its properties, algorithmic behaviour, and the most important applications. Proofs and technical details have been omitted but can be found all in [28].
