      Size and variable ordering of OBDDs representing threshold functions (English)
      0 references
      The size of ordered binary decision diagrams (OBBDs) representing threshold functions is discussed. The lower bound on the OBBD size necessary to represent any threshold function when the variable ordering can be chosen adaptively to minimize the OBBD size is proved. It is shown, that it is not possible to find a good variable ordering only from the total order of weights, that is, for any variable ordering of this kind, there exists a threshold function that requires an exponential size OBBD, but is represented in polynomial size by the optimal ordering. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00027].
