題目:Succinctness of Switch List Representations of Boolean Functions
In this talk we focus on a slightly unusual way how to represent Boolean functions, namely on representations by switch-lists.
Given a truth table representation of a Boolean function f the switch-list representation of f is a list of Boolean vectors from the truth table which have a different function value than the preceding Boolean vector in the truth table. The main aim of this paper is to compare switch-list representations with a number of standard representations (such as CNF, DNF, and OBDD) with respect to their relative succinctness, and hence to include switch-list representations in the Knowledge Compilation Map.
This is a joint work with Milos Chromy.
