Abstract(in English) This paper presents a method for enumerating and indexing all the walks between any two points in a given graph. It is known that paths, which contain each vertex at most one time, can be enumerated and indexed with a Zero-Suppressed Binary Decision Diagram (ZDD) based methods. Since a ZDD efficiently handles a family of sets, the methods naturally represents a set of paths by regarding each path as a set of edges. However, ZDDs are hard to represent walks, which may contain same vertices more than one time. We consider representing walks by SeqBDD, which is a data structure that compactly represents a set of sequences. It is also well known that the numbers of walks between any two vertices can be calculated by a series of multiplication of an adjacent matrix. We propose an extension of an adjacent matrix called SeqBDD matrix. Instead of usual numbers, non-zero elements in a SeqBDD matrix are filled with SeqBDDs. We specify that multiplication of the SeqBDD matrix can enumerate walks and index them as SeqBDDs. We also present some operations such as narrowing down the resulting SeqBDDs and counting with some experimental results.
