Abstract

In this paper, we propose a compact representationof logic functions using Multi-valued Decision Diagrams(MDDs) called heterogeneous MDDs. In a heterogeneousMDD, each variable may take a different domain. By partitioningbinary input variables and representing each partitionas a single multi-valued variable, we can produce aheterogeneous MDD with 16% smaller memory size than aReduced Ordered Binary Decision Diagram (ROBDD), andwith as small memory size as the Free Binary Decision Diagrams(FBDDs). We minimized a large number of benchmarkfunctions to show the compactness of heterogeneousMDDs.
