Abstract: We present an extension of Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) such that they can be used for predicate logic. We present a sound and complete proof search method which we apply to a number of examples. Key Words & Phrases: Automatic Reasoning, Binary Decision Diagrams, First Order Predicate Logic. 1 Introduction In 1986 Randy Bryant proposed to represent propositional formulas by Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) [2]. A BDD is a node-labelled DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) where in general... (Update)
