Abstract

We present an exact algorithm to find an optimal linear transformation for the variables of a Boolean function to minimize its corresponding ordered Binary Decision Diagram (BDD). To prune the huge search space, techniques known from algorithms for finding the optimal variable ordering are used. This BDD minimization finds direct application in FPGA design. We give experimental results for a large variety of circuits to show the efficiency of our approach.
