  Synopsis    [Selects pairs from R using a priority function.]

  Description [Selects pairs from a relation R(x,y) (given as a BDD)
  in such a way that a given x appears in one pair only. Uses a
  priority function to determine which y should be paired to a given x.
  Cudd_PrioritySelect returns a pointer to
  the selected function if successful; NULL otherwise.
  Three of the arguments--x, y, and z--are vectors of BDD variables.
  The first two are the variables on which R depends. The third vectore
  is a vector of auxiliary variables, used during the computation. This
  vector is optional. If a NULL value is passed instead,
  Cudd_PrioritySelect will create the working variables on the fly.
  The sizes of x and y (and z if it is not NULL) should equal n.
  The priority function Pi can be passed as a BDD, or can be built by
  Cudd_PrioritySelect. If NULL is passed instead of a DdNode *,
  parameter Pifunc is used by Cudd_PrioritySelect to build a BDD for the
  priority function. (Pifunc is a pointer to a C function.) If Pi is not
  NULL, then Pifunc is ignored. Pifunc should have the same interface as
  the standard priority functions (e.g., Cudd_Dxygtdxz).
  Cudd_PrioritySelect and Cudd_CProjection can sometimes be used
  interchangeably. Specifically, calling Cudd_PrioritySelect with
  Cudd_Xgty as Pifunc produces the same result as calling
  Cudd_CProjection with the all-zero minterm as reference minterm.
  However, depending on the application, one or the other may be
  preferable:
  <ul>
  <li> When extracting representatives from an equivalence relation,
  Cudd_CProjection has the advantage of nor requiring the auxiliary
  variables.
  <li> When computing matchings in general bipartite graphs,
  Cudd_PrioritySelect normally obtains better results because it can use
  more powerful matching schemes (e.g., Cudd_Dxygtdxz).
  </ul>
  ]

  SideEffects [If called with z == NULL, will create new variables in
  the manager.]

  Synopsis    [Performs the recursive step of Cudd_bddClosestCube.]

  Description [Performs the recursive step of Cudd_bddClosestCube.
  Returns the cube if succesful; NULL otherwise.  The procedure uses a
  four-way recursion to examine all four combinations of cofactors of
  f and g.  The most interesting feature of this function is the
  scheme used for caching the results in the global computed table.
  Since we have a cube and a distance, we combine them to form an ADD.
  The combination replaces the zero child of the top node of the cube
  with the negative of the distance.  (The use of the negative is to
  avoid ambiguity with 1.)  The degenerate cases (zero and one) are
  treated specially because the distance is known (0 for one, and
  infinity for zero).]

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

  Synopsis    [Performs the recursive step of Cudd_MinHammingDist.]

  Description [Performs the recursive step of Cudd_MinHammingDist.
  It is based on the following identity. Let H(f) be the
  minimum Hamming distance of the minterms of f from the reference
  minterm. Then:
  <xmp>
    H(f) = min(H(f0)+h0,H(f1)+h1)
  </xmp>
  where f0 and f1 are the two cofactors of f with respect to its top
  variable; h0 is 1 if the minterm assigns 1 to the top variable of f;
  h1 is 1 if the minterm assigns 0 to the top variable of f.
  The upper bound on the distance is used to bound the depth of the
  recursion.
  Returns the minimum distance unless it exceeds the upper bound or
  computation fails.]
