📝 Abstract
We consider the Boolean function ${\rm SMul}_{n-1}^n(\boldsymbol{x},\boldsymbol{y})$, which computes the middle bit of the multiplication of two natural numbers represented as $n$-bit binary strings $\boldsymbol{x}$ and $\boldsymbol{y}$, drawn from a restricted domain. We investigate the width of OBDDs computing ${\rm SMul}_{n-1}^n$. We introduce a combinatorially defined function $s_*(n)$ and show that the width of such OBDDs is $Θ(2^{s_*(n)})$.
