Abstract
We provide highly accurate estimations of the 10th through 15th Dedekind Numbers, to a precision of 4 digits for , to 2 digits for . These estimates were obtained using three methods, including pair matching on large quantities of 9-dimensional monotone Boolean functions for , Reference Subsets for , , and . And our best method "Weight Layer Branching" which provided accurate estimates for all through , strongly improving on the previous best known estimates by Korshunov and Tian-Shun Chen et al. arXiv:2606.09795
