Summary

Description Visualization of the BDD for the Boolean formula x1 * x2 + x3 * x4 + ... + x19 * x20 using a bad variable ordering (x1,x3,x5,x7,x9,x11,x13,x15,x17,x19,x2,x4,x6,x8,x10,x12,x14,x16,x18,x20). One pixel in the picture corresponds to one BDD node, all nodes of one variable are represented by one line (level), and the number of nodes for that variable by the width of the line. The variables with the most nodes are x19 and x2 with 512 nodes each, i.e., the width of the picture is 512 pixels (x1:1, x3:2, x5:4, x7:8, x9:16, x11:32, x13:64, x15:128, x17:256, x19:512, x2:512, x4:256, x6:128, x8:64, x10:32, x12:16, x14:8, x16:4, x18:2, x20:1).

The PNG picture is 518 x 32 pixel.

Other BDD pictures for similar formulas:

The following is the RML (Relational Manipulation Language) code that I fed to CrocoPat to produce the dat files for VisuBDD:

// RML program to generate BDD visualizations for the formula
// x1 & x2 | x3 & x4 | ... | x19 & x20,
// using two different variable orderings.
// "crocopat -e BDD_Variable_Ordering_VisuBDD.rml" 
// generates two files in dat format.
// "java -classpath <your_CrocoPat_dir> 
//  VisuBDD.VisualizeSize  BDD_Variable_Ordering_VisuBDD_Bad.dat"
// displays a visualization of the BDD graph on screen.

// There are two ('Boolean') values for the variables x1, ..., x20.
DOM("0");
DOM("1");

// F is the name of the Boolean formula.
F(x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9,x10,x11,x12,x13,x14,x15,x16,x17,x18,x19,x20) :=

                             | (x9="1" & x10="1") 
                             | (x11="1" & x12="1")
