Binary Decision Diagram/Evidence
Method evidence record

Binary Decision Diagram

Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) are a canonical, memory-efficient representation of Boolean functions developed by Randal Bryant in 1986. A BDD is a directed acyclic graph encoding all variable assignments and results; reduced BDDs are unique for each function and enable efficient manipulation of combinatorial logic in model checking, circuit design, and symbolic computation.
