Abstract
This paper proposes an algorithm for optimum PLA folding based on its formulation as a problem of boolean satisfiability. A logical expression is derived such that the assignment of variables that satisfies it defines a folding with a minimum number of columns. The proposed algorithm uses BDDs to represent boolean functions and incorporates novel reduction techniques, obtaining satisfactory results.
