Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD) is used on computer aided design of VLSI, because of that's goodness of memory spacing on computers for representing boolean functions. Recently, though, big size boolean functions such that are not able to be represented by BDD appear on VLSI design. We presented an implicit representation of BDDs (iBDD) which is a new representation method by representing characteristics of BDD in meaning of graph implicitly, and algorithms manipulating this. This method is effective in representation size, but requires huge manipulation time. In this paper, a new faster manipulation method is presented. The negative edge technique and recursive applying method used in BDD are introduced. Experimental results on n bit adder functions says this method reduces manipulation time from O (n^<2.14>) to O (n^<1.01>).
