Compression with wildcards: All k-models of a binary decision diagram

Data Structures and Algorithms 2023-12-19 v6

Abstract

Given a Binary Decision Diagram BB of a Boolean function φ\varphi in nn variables, it is well known that all φ\varphi-models can be enumerated in output polynomial time, and in a compressed way (using don't-care symbols). We show that all NN many φ\varphi-models of fixed Hamming-weight kk can be enumerated as well in time polynomial in nn and B|B| and NN. Furthermore, using novel wildcards, again enables a compressed enumeration of these models.
