Anyone who can interpret decision diagrams using the spectral approach can advance both the utility and understanding of classical DD techniques. This approach also 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.
