  Synopsis    [Extracts a dense subset from a BDD with the shortest paths
  heuristic.]

  Description [Extracts a dense subset from a BDD.  This procedure
  tries to preserve the shortest paths of the input BDD, because they
  give many minterms and contribute few nodes.  This procedure may
  increase the number of nodes in trying to create the subset or
  reduce the number of nodes due to recombination as compared to the
  original BDD. Hence the threshold may not be strictly adhered to. In
  practice, recombination overshadows the increase in the number of
  nodes and results in small BDDs as compared to the threshold. The
  hardlimit specifies whether threshold needs to be strictly adhered
  to. If it is set to 1, the procedure ensures that result is never
  larger than the specified limit but may be considerably less than
  the threshold.  Returns a pointer to the BDD for the subset if
  successful; NULL otherwise.  The value for numVars should be as
  close as possible to the size of the support of f for better
  efficiency. However, it is safe to pass the value returned by
  Cudd_ReadSize for numVars. If 0 is passed, then the value returned
  by Cudd_ReadSize is used.]

  Synopsis    [Extracts a dense superset from a BDD with the shortest paths
  heuristic.]

  Description [Extracts a dense superset from a BDD.  The procedure is
  identical to the subset procedure except for the fact that it
  receives the complement of the given function. Extracting the subset
  of the complement function is equivalent to extracting the superset
  of the function.  This procedure tries to preserve the shortest
  paths of the complement BDD, because they give many minterms and
  contribute few nodes.  This procedure may increase the number of
  nodes in trying to create the superset or reduce the number of nodes
  due to recombination as compared to the original BDD. Hence the
  threshold may not be strictly adhered to. In practice, recombination
  overshadows the increase in the number of nodes and results in small
  BDDs as compared to the threshold.  The hardlimit specifies whether
  threshold needs to be strictly adhered to. If it is set to 1, the
  procedure ensures that result is never larger than the specified
  limit but may be considerably less than the threshold. Returns a

  otherwise. The value for numVars should be as close as possible to

  This is done in a BFS search of the BDD. The nodes are processed
  in a queue implemented as pages(array) to reduce memory fragmentation.
  An entry is created for each node visited. The distance from the root
  to the node with the corresponding  parity is updated. The procedure
  is called recursively each recusion level handling nodes at a given

/**Function********************************************************************

  Synopsis    [Builds the BDD with nodes labeled with path length less than or equal to maxpath]

  Description [Builds the BDD with nodes labeled with path length
  under maxpath and as many nodes labeled maxpath as determined by the
  threshold. The procedure uses the path table to determine which nodes
  in the original bdd need to be retained. This procedure picks a
  shortest path (tie break decided by taking the child with the shortest
  distance to the constant) and recurs down the path till it reaches the
  constant. the procedure then starts building the subset upward from
  the constant. All nodes labeled by path lengths less than the given
  maxpath are used to build the subset.  However, in the case of nodes
  that have label equal to maxpath, as many are chosen as required by
  the threshold. This number is stored in the info structure in the
  field thresholdReached. This field is decremented whenever a node
  labeled maxpath is encountered and the nodes labeled maxpath are
  aggregated in a maxpath table. As soon as the thresholdReached count
  goes to 0, the shortest path from this node to the constant is found.
  The extraction of nodes with the above labeling is based on the fact
  that each node, labeled with a path length, P, has at least one child
  labeled P or less. So extracting all nodes labeled a given path length
  P ensures complete paths between the root and the constant. Extraction
  of a partial number of nodes with a given path length may result in
  incomplete paths and hence the additional number of nodes are grabbed
  to complete the path. Since the Bdd is built bottom-up, other nodes
  labeled maxpath do lie on complete paths.  The procedure may cause the
  subset to have a larger or smaller number of nodes than the specified
  threshold. The increase in the number of nodes is caused by the
  building of a subset and the reduction by recombination. However in
  most cases, the recombination overshadows the increase and the
  procedure returns a result with lower number of nodes than specified.
  The subsetNodeTable is NIL when there is no hard limit on the number
  of nodes. Further efforts towards keeping the subset closer to the
  threshold number were abandoned in favour of keeping the procedure
  simple and fast.]
