Universal & Existential quantification

Universal

∀x ϕ — for all values of x, ϕ is true

∀x x — contradiction

in propositional logic:

∀x ϕ ≡ ϕ1 ∧ ϕ0

Existential

∃x ϕ — there exists a value of x where ϕ is true

∃x x — tautology

in propositional logic:

∃x ϕ ≡ ϕ1 ∨ ϕ0

Build OBDDs using the propositional logic versions. Compute the variables and then take conjunction (∀) or disjunction (∃).
