Abstract :
We present methods for the construction of small Ordered Kronecker Functional Decision Diagrams (OKFDDs). OKFDDs are a generalization of Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs) and Ordered Functional Decision Diagrams (OFDDs) as well. Our approach is based on dynamic variable ordering and decomposition type choice. For changing the decomposition type we use a new method. We briefly discuss the implementation of PUMA, our OKFDD package. The quality of our methods in comparison with sifting and interleaving for OBDDs is demonstrated based on experiments performed with PUMA
