Abstract(in English) An ordered binary decision diagram(OBDD)is a graph representation of a Boolean function.It is observed that many practical Boolean functions are represented in feasible size.In this paper,the size of ordered binary decision diagrams representing threshold functions is studied.Two cases are treated: the order of variables is fixed in one case,and not fixed in the other case.We prove that a lower bound on the size of ordered binary decision diagrams representing n-variable threshold function is Ω(2.^n, 2>)in the former case,and Ω(2^(√n>)/2>)in the latter case.
