Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The computation of the Tutte polynomial of a graph, even a planar one,
is \#P-complete, and yet more efficient exponential-time algorithms
have been developed. Inspired by a recent $O^*(2^n)$-time algorithm
for this problem of a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges by
Bj\"{o}rklund, Husfeldt, Kaski, Koivisto, we revisit our BDD-based
algorithms devised around 1995 from the current viewpoints, where
$O^*$ ignores a polynomial factor in $m,n$. First, the problem is
shown to be solvable in $O^*(n^{n-2})$ even for graph with parallel
edges. Next, a tighter bound on the width of BDD representing all
trees of a graph is given, specificaly, using the Bell number $B_a$ of
the number of partitions of $a$-element set, $B_{n-2}$ to
$B_{n-O(n/\log n)}$. The BDD-based algorithm yet has the best time
bound for planar graphs, whose case have applications in statistical
physics, knot theory, etc., and, by the current computing power, we
demonstrate that the Tutte polynomial of a $15\times 15=225$ lattice
graph can be computed by our algorithm.
