    An Ordered Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) is a graph representation of a Boolean function. According to its good properties, BDD's are widely used in various applications. In this paper, we investigate the computational complexity of basic operations on BDD's. We consider two important operations: reduction of a BDD and binary Boolean operations based on BDD's. This paper shows that both the reduction of a BDD and the binary Boolean operations based on BDD's are NC1-reducible to REACHABILITY. That is, both of the problems belong to NC2. In order to extend the results to the BDD's with output inverters, we also considered the transformations between BDD's and BDD's with output inverters. We show that both of the transformations are also NC1-reducible to REACHBILITY.
