Interpreting decision diagrams using the spectral approach advances both the utility and understanding of classical DD techniques and provides a framework for developing advanced solutions for digital design and a host of other applications. Scientists, computer science and engineering professionals, and researchers with an interest in the spectral methods of representing discrete functions, as well as the foundations of logic design, will find the book a clearly explained, well-organized, and essential resource.
From the reviews:
"Classifying and uniformly interpreting decision diagrams through spectral interpretation methods is the main topic of this book. ... Necessary basic algebraic concepts are covered. The presentation is based on many examples ... . the bibliography has nearly 300 references. The main benefit is in getting a comprehensive overview of the diverse techniques and their connections. To facilitate using the book for self-study, the appendix contains ... simple questions which are answered in the main text." (Dieter Riebesehl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1038 (13), 2004)
