  Synopsis [Extracts a dense subset from a BDD with Shiple's
  underapproximation method.]

  Description [Extracts a dense subset from a BDD. This procedure uses
  a variant of Tom Shiple's underapproximation method. The main
  difference from the original method is that density is used as cost
  function.  Returns a pointer to the BDD of the subset if
  successful. NULL if the procedure runs out of memory. The parameter
  numVars is the maximum number of variables to be used in minterm
  calculation.  The optimal number should be as close as possible to
  the size of the support of f.  However, it is safe to pass the value
  returned by Cudd_ReadSize for numVars when the number of variables
  is under 1023.  If numVars is larger than 1023, it will cause
  overflow. If a 0 parameter is passed then the procedure will compute
  a value which will avoid overflow but will cause underflow with 2046
  variables or more.]
