Abstract
Since the 90's, several authors have studied a probability distribution on the set of Boolean functions on variables induced by some probability distributions on formulas built upon the connectors and and the literals . These formulas rely on plane binary labelled trees, known as Catalan trees. We extend all the results, in particular the relation between the probability and the complexity of a Boolean function, to other models of formulas: non-binary or non-plane labelled trees (i.e. Polya trees). This includes the natural tree class where associativity and commutativity of the connectors and are realised.
