Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams, Pigeonhole Formulas and Beyond
نویسندگان
چکیده
Groote and Zantema proved that a particular OBDD computation of the pigeonhole formula has exponential size, and that limited OBDD derivations cannot simulate resolution polynomially. Here we show that an arbitrary OBDD refutation of the pigeonhole formula has exponential size: we prove that for any order of computation at least one intermediate OBDD in the proof has size Ω(1.14n). We also present a family of CNFs that show an exponential blow-up for all OBDD refutations compared to unrestricted resolution refutations.

Exponential Lower Bounds for Refuting Random Formulas Using Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams
A propositional proof system based on ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs) was introduced by Atserias et al. in [AKV04]. Kraj́ıček proved exponential lower bounds for a strong variant of this system using feasible interpolation [Kra07], and Tveretina et al. proved exponential lower bounds for restricted versions of this system for refuting formulas derived from the Pigeonhole Principle [TSZ1...
متن کاملOrdered {AND, OR}-Decomposition and Binary-Decision Diagram
In the context of knowledge compilation (KC), we study the effect of augmenting Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDD) with two kinds of decomposition nodes, i.e., AND-vertices and OR-vertices which denote conjunctive and disjunctive decomposition of propositional knowledge bases, respectively. The resulting knowledge compilation language is called Ordered {AND, OR}-decomposition and binary-De...
متن کاملOptimal ordered binary decision diagrams for read-once formulas
In many applications like verification or combinatorial optimization, OBDDs (ordered binary decision diagrams) are used as a representation or data structure for Boolean functions. Efficient algorithms exist for the important operations on OBDDs, and many functions can be represented in reasonable size if a good variable ordering is chosen. In general, it is NP-hard to compute optimal or near-o...
متن کاملFunction-driven Linearly Independent Expansions of Boolean Functions
The paper presents a family of new expansions of Boolean functions called Function-driven Linearly Independent (fLI) expansions. On the basis of this expansion a new kind of a canonical representation of Boolean functions is constructed: Function-driven Linearly Independent Binary Decision Diagrams (fLIBDDs). They generalize both Function-driven Shannon Binary Decision Diagrams (fShBDDs) and Li...
متن کاملAn Exponential Lower Bound on OBDD Refutations for Pigeonhole Formulas
Haken proved that every resolution refutation of the pigeon hole formula has at least exponential size. Groote and Zantema proved that a particular OBDD computation of the pigeon hole formula has an exponential size. Here we show that any arbitrary OBDD refutation of the pigeon hole formula has an exponential size, too: we prove that the size of one of the intermediate OBDDs is at least Ω(1.025).
