A new bound for the Fourier-Entropy-Influence conjecture

Combinatorics 2025-12-11 v2 Functional Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the Fourier entropy of an nn-dimensional boolean function ff can be upper-bounded by O(I(f)+k[n]Ik(f)log1Ik(f))O(I(f)+ \sum\limits_{k\in[n]}I_k(f)\log \frac{1}{I_k(f)}), where I(f)I(f) is its total influence and Ik(f)I_k(f) is the influence of the kk-th coordinate. The proof is elementary and uses iterative bounds on moments of Fourier coefficients over different levels.
