Abstract

Let f ⁣:{0,1}n{0,1}f\colon \{0,1\}^n\to \{0,1\} be a monotone Boolean functions, let ψk(f)\psi_k(f) denote the Shapley value of the kkth variable and bk(f)b_k(f) denote the Banzhaf value (influence) of the kkth variable. We prove that if we have ψk(f)t\psi_k(f) \le t for all kk, then the threshold interval of ff has length O(1log(1/t))\displaystyle O \left(\frac {1}{\log (1/t)}\right). We also prove that if ff is balanced and bk(f)tb_k(f) \le t for every kk, then maxkψk(f)O(loglog(1/t)log(1/t))\displaystyle \max_{k} \psi_k(f) \le O\left(\frac {\log \log (1/t)}{\log(1/t)}\right) .
