Our goal is to use Mv-formulas as a constraint programming language between CSP and SAT, and solve computationally difficult combinatorial problems with efficient satisfiability solvers for Mv-formulas. The results presented in this paper provide evidence that Mv-formulas are a problem modeling language that offers a good compromise between complexity and expressive power.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

Optimal MDD representation improves performance and flexibility of many applications in logic design and multiple-valued circuit synthesis. We introduce an algorithm which incorporates a new operation on incompletely specified MDDs, called fusion. The diagram is optimized by dynamic variable ordering, graph compaction and minimization. During the optimization the structure of the underlying MDD is modified in a way that only specified values are represented while don't cares are ignored. The results on multiple-valued as well as binary benchmarks with don't cares are given to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.

This is an important measure of a decision diagram, since this models the time needed to evaluate the function. We focus on the average path length (APL), which is the sum of the path lengths over all assignments of values to the variables divided by the number of assignments. First, we show a multiple-valued function in which the APL is markedly affected by the order of variables. We show upper and lower bounds on the longest path length in a decision diagram of a multiple-valued function. Next, we derive the APL for individual functions, the MAX, ALL-MAX, and MODSUM functions. We show that the latter two functions achieve the lower and upper bound on the APL overall n-variable r-valued functions. Finally, we derive the average of the APL for two sets of functions, symmetric functions and all functions.","PeriodicalId":434515,"journal":{"name":"33rd International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic, 2003.
