We prove that binary decision diagrams [1] can be polynomially simulated by the extended resolution rule of [2]. More precisely, for any unsatisfiable formula , there exists an ex...
There are many different ways of proving formulas in proposition logic. Many of these can easily be characterized as forms of resolution (e.g. [12] and [9]). Others use so-called...
We present a method to convert the construction of binary decision diagrams (BDDs) into extended resolution proofs. Besides in proof checking, proofs are fundamental to many applic...
Groote and Zantema proved that a particular OBDD computation of the pigeonhole formula has exponential size, and that limited OBDD derivations cannot simulate resolution polynomia...
In many veri cation techniques fast functional evaluation of a Boolean network is needed. We investigate the idea of using Binary Decision Diagrams BDDs for functional simulatio...
