Abstract

Ordered binary and functional decision diagrams (OBDDs and OFDDs) have turned out to be useful representations of Boolean functions with many applications. Since it is NP-hard to compute an optimal variable ordering or to improve a given variable ordering, local search and simulated annealing algorithms are used to improve variable orderings. The effect of local changes in variable orderings is studied and a simulated annealing algorithm for the computation of good variable orderings is presented. For several benchmark circuits the best known variable orderings are improved significantly.
