Abstract
Let denote the set of monotone Boolean functions with variables. Elements of can be represented as strings of bits of length . Two elements of are represented as 0 and 1 and any element , with , is represented as a concatenation , where and . For each , we have dual which is obtained by reversing and negating all bits. An element is self-dual if . Let denote the cardinality of the set of all self-dual monotone Boolean functions of variables. The value is also known as the -th Hosten-Morris number. In this paper, we derive several algorithms for counting self-dual monotone Boolean functions and confirm the known result that equals 423,295,099,074,735,261,880.
