2 Example Fgure shows BDD for the functon f ( x, x3, x4) = xx4 + xx4 + x3 + x3 x x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 4 Fgure BDD for f n Example A BDD s called ordered f each varable s encountered at most once on each path from the root to a termnal node and f the varables are encountered n the same order on all such pats A BDD s called reduced f t does not contan nodes wth somorphc sub-graphs or wth both edges pontng to the same node For functon represented by reduced BDDs effcent manpulaton are possble [2, 3] n m For a mult-output Boolean functon f : B B t s possble to use a shared BDD, as a common BDD for a set of functons ϕ = { f, ( =,2, Km)}, where f s the -th output In ths case, the order of the varables s fxed for all functons 2 Lnearly Transformed Bnary Decson Dagrams Defnton [4] A Lnear Transformaton of a set of nput varables X = x, x, x } s a bectve mappng n f { 2 n n n τ : B B that maps each varable x to a lnear combnaton of a set of varables x' = x V x V e, Ths can also be seen as a re-encodng of the varables whch can be represented by a nonsngular n n matrx over the Galos feld ( B,, ) Instead of representng a functon f drectly by a BDD, a lnearly transformed functon f s represented such that f ( x,, xn ) = f '( τ ( x,, xn )) The correspondng decson dagram s called Lnearly Transformed BDD (LTBDD) In other words, nstead of labelng nodes wth one sngle varable, nodes are labeled wth a lnear combnaton of a subset of varables, Fgure 2 Note that the read-once property does not hold n LTBDDs, e, one (untransformed) varable may appear more than once on a path from the root to a termnal node LTBDDs are a canoncal representaton for a fxed varable orderng and the lnear transformaton specfed Example 2 For the functon f n Example, the transformaton τ ( x, x3) = ( x 4, 3, x3, x4 ) s an automorphsm and converts f nto f x, x, x, x ) = ( x ) + ( x ) ( x3 The LTBDD for f after the transformaton s shown n Fgure 2 x 2 + x x 3 + f x 4 Fgure 2 LTBDD of the functon n Example 2 In [5,6] t s shown that an exponental reducton of the BDD by usng lnear transformatons s possble, e, there s a set of functons f whch can be represented by LTBDDs of the lnear sze, but all OBDDs for these functons have the exponental sze 3 Complexty of DDs There are many dfferent defntons of DD complexty Here wll be done tree, usualz used n Defnton 2 In a decson dagram (DD), the number of nodes n the DD, denoted by NN_,, ncludes only nontermnal nodes Defnton 3 In a decson dagram (DD), the number of -paths, denoted by NOP, s defned as the total number of paths from the root node to the constant node showng the logc value, [5] Defnton 4 In a decson dagram (DD), the average path length, denoted by APL, s defned as the number of non-termnal nodes along all the paths n the decson dagram dvded by the number of paths [6] In ths paper, the proposed algorthm for constructon of LTBDDs wll be evaluated wth respect to all those tree measures Example 3 For the BDD n Fgure the number of non termnal nodes (NN) s 9, the number of ones path (NOP) s 8, and the average path length (APL) s 366
3 Example 4 For the LTBDD n Fgure 2 the number of non termnal nodes (NN) s 2, the number of -paths (NOP) s 2 and the average path length (APL) s,66 Thus, the complexty of ths decson dagrams s smaller then the complexty of the BDD n Fgure 4 Walsh-Hadamard transform Let F(n) = [F ], =, 2 n n -, be the 2 element vector representng the truth-vector of an n-nput Boolean functon f ( x, K xn ) n {,-} encodng, e, such that F s when the correspondng value of f s logc, and F s - when ths value s logc The Walsh spectrum of f s the n 2 element vector determned as: R( n) = W( n) F( n), () n n where W(n) s the 2 2 Walsh-Hadamard matrx: W( n ) W( n ) W( n ) =, () = ( ) ( ) W (2) W n W n The Walsh transform defned by () produces the Walsh coeffcents n the Hadamard orderng [6], n ths paper denoted as WH coeffcents For n = 4, ths vector s: R, R4, R3, R34, R2, R24, R23, R234 R (4) = R, R4, R3, R34, R24, R24, R23, R234 In our consderaton some subset of WH coeffcents wll be used and here we wll ntroduce a notaton for ths The subset of coeffcents n the spectrum R (n) wth the symbol n the ndces of the coeffcents wll be denoted as R ( { } n) and the subset of coeffcents wthout n the ndces wll be denoted as R ~ } ( n) For { example, for n = 4 and = 3, the subsets R ) and R ~ (4) are: { 3} R and {3}(4 [ R, R, R, R, R, R, R ] { 3} 4) = , ( R [ R, R, R, R, R, R, R ] 234 R ( 4) = { 3} , R24 Smlarly, the subset of WH coeffcents wth and n the ndces wll be denoted by R{, }( n) whle R ~ ( n) wll be a subset of coeffcents wthout and {, } wth n the ndces For example, [ R, R, R ] R ( R and { 2,3} 4) = , [ R, R, R ] R ( R 4) = { 2,3} , Each WH coeffcent may be consdered as a measure of the correlaton (lkeness) between a gven functon f and the correspondng Walsh functon, whch further corresponds to the relatonshps between f and lnear swtchng functons [8,3] For example, the coeffcent R (zero-order coeffcent) s the measure of the correlaton between a functon f and constants and The frst order coeffcents ( R, R2, K, Rn ) are measures of correlatons between the functon f and nput varables: x, K, x n, whle the value of hgh order coeffcents depends on the correlaton between a functon f and EXOR sums of nput varables: x, x, x K,etc PROCEDURE FOR LINEAR TRANSFORMATION When the spectra of a number of functons of any gven n are compared, t wll be evdent that dentcal sets of magntudes occur n many spectra, albet wth poston and sgn changes It s well known that some operatons over f, denoted as spectral nvarant operatons, change the order, but not the values of coeffcents n Walsh- Hadamard spectrum [8, 3] Those nvarant operatons are effcently used n several tasks n swtchng theory and applcatons, as for example n classfcaton and crcut realzaton of swtchng functons [7] Lnear transformaton s one of the nvarant transforms and s defned as follows: Theorem, [7] For the functon f ( x, xn) replacement of any varable x wth: x K xk, K k, and, k, n, n the WH spectrum of the f doman requres the nterchange of the subset of WH coeffcents R {, wth the subset R {, Kk } In ths paper, ths nvarant operaton wll be used for lnear transformaton of the BDDs For ths transformaton followng smple heurstc wll be used: If consdered functon has larger correlaton wth some EXOR sum of varables x K x compared to correlaton wth the varable x k then, at the th level of the BDD representng functon, the correspondng lnear transformaton wll be performed As measure of ths correlaton the absolute values of the WH coeffcents wll be consdered If the coeffcent R has the largest absolute value n subset of WH coeffcents, then n the nodes the R { } ( n) at the -th level of the BDD the varable x wll be used When the coeffcent R has not the maxmum absolute value n the subset R ), then a lnear transformaton { } ( n wll be performed, and the nodes at the -th level of the BDD wll be labelled by the EXOR sum of varables, wth ndces dentcal to the ndces of the coeffcent wth the maxmum absolute value n the subset R ) x n { } ( n
4 Ths transformaton n spectrum doman wll be performed as a permutaton of subsets of coeffcents If x s replaced wth the lnear combnaton: x K k, then R{, subset of coeffcents wll be replaced wth the subset R and vce versa {, Kk } Ths consderaton wll be performed at all levels, and n each step prevously transformed spectrum wll be used Ths procedure wll be formulated as follows: 4 Procedure for transformaton of BDD nto LTBDD Input: BDD of the functon f ( x, K, xn) Output: LTBDD of the functon f ( x, K, xn) Step Generate the BDD of the gven functon f Step 2 Calculate the spectrum R ( n ) as WH spectrum of the functon f (The superscrpt n the notaton above s used to denote the frst teraton n transformaton of the spectrum) Step 3 for := to n do begn In the subset of coeffcents R {} of the spectrum R (n) fnd the coeffcent R, k wth the maxmum absolute value If R, K, k > R at the -th level of the BDD perform lnear transform x = x K k Calculate R I + ( n ) by replacng the subset of coeffcents R {, wth the subset R {, end End of procedure Note that the LTBDD gven wth ths transformaton s the BDD of the functon wth the WH spectrum R n+ ( n) Ths procedure wll be llustrated step by step for the functon f n Example Example 3 The Walsh-Hadamard spectrum for f n Ex- R (4) = 8,,,,,,8,,,8,,,,,,8 ample s [ ] Step The coeffcent wth the maxmum value n the subset R {} s the coeffcent R 4 whch means that the sum of varables x 4 wll be selected for the node at the level Ths corresponds to the lnear transformaton x = x 4 In the doman of WH spectrum, ths lnear transformaton s performed as the permutaton between the coeffcents from the subset R {4} and the correspondng coeffcents from the subset R {4} After ths permutaton, the startng WH spectrum R (4) wll be transformed nto the spectrum: [ 8,,,,,,8,,8,,,,,,8, ] R 2 (4) = Step 2 Now the coeffcent wth the maxmum absolute value n the subset R 2 {2} wll be selected Ths s the coeffcent R 23 At ths level, the lnear transformaton 2 = 3 wll be performed In the spectral doman, the permutaton of subsets R 2 {23} and R 2 {23} s requred After ths transformaton, the WH spectrum R 2 (4) s converted nto the spectrum: [ 8,,,,8,,,,8,,,,,8,, ] R 3 (4) = 3 Step 3 The coeffcent R 3 has the maxmum absolute value n the subset of coeffcents R 3 {3} and at ths level t s not necessary to perform a lnear transformaton and spectrum R 4 (4) s equal to R 3 (4) : 4 R (4) = R 3 (4) 4 Step 4 Fnally, the coeffcent R 4 has the maxmum absolute value n the subset of coeffcents R 4 {4} and at ths level t s not necessary to perform a lnear transformaton and spectrum R 5 (4) s equal to R 4 (4) : 5 R (4) = R 4 (4) As a result of ths procedure the transformaton τ ( x, x3) = ( x 4, 3, x3, x4) s obtaned and the LTBDD represented at the Fgure 2 s generated EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS In ths secton, as llustratng of the effcency of the procedure proposed above, we show examples of experments over some standard benchmark functons, Table, and for a set of functon representng adders wth dfferent nput varables, Table 2 In the set of expermental data we compared the complexty of OBDDs and LTBDDs generated by usng the proposed procedure Tree parameters of the complexty are compared: NN, NOP and APL Tables show the reducton of these parameters n the LTBDDs, determned by the procedure proposed n ths paper, compared wth the ntal OBDD Frst tree columns n tables show functons and the number of nputs and outputs of those functons Notce that, for the set of the benchmark functons, the reducton of nodes does not necessarly mples the reduced number of -paths n a decson dagram Therefore, there are examples where n LTBDDs the NOP s ncreased (the negatve values n the table) although the number of nodes s reduced The value n Table means that the lnear transform dd not mprove the parameters consdered Notce that the same features can be observed also n the procedures dscussed n [5, 6] Over a set of benchmark functons proposed algorthm reduces the sze of the BDD n most cases, wth an
