project description

Formal verification deals with proving the correctness of a given design. Thereby the specification can be given in different levels of abstraction. In many cases BDDs are used as the basic data structure for verification. Under all variable orderings however, BDDs have exponential size for multipliers. In order to avoid this problem Word Level Decision Diagrams like BMDs oder K*BMDs are often used. The lower bounds which are used for BDDs could be adapted for K*BMDs.
