Heuristics for Determining the Elimination Ordering in the Influence Diagram Evaluation with Binary Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finding an optimal elimination ordering is a NP-hard problem of crucial importance for the efficiency of the Influence Diagrams evaluation. Some of the traditional methods for determining the elimination ordering use heuristics that consider that potentials are represented as tables. However, if potentials are represented using binary trees traditional methods may not offer the best results. In the present paper, two new heuristics that consider that potentials are represented as binary trees are proposed. As a result, the storage requirements for evaluating an ID with binary trees is reduced.

An ordering heuristic to develop the binary decision diagram based on structural importance
Fault tree analysis is often used to assess risks within industrial systems. The technique is commonly used although there are associated limitations in terms of accuracy and efficiency when dealing with large fault tree structures. The most recent approach to aid the analysis of the fault tree diagram is the Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) methodology. To utilise the technique the fault tree str...

The problem of finding an optimal variable ordering for Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD) or Multi-Valued Decision Diagrams (MDD) is widely known to be NP-Complete. This paper presents a survey of static heuristic techniques applied to ordering the variables of the BDD/MDD under construction in order to minimize the overall size of the resulting decision diagram.
