We consider classes of Boolean functions stable under compositions both from the right and from the left with clones. Motivated by the question how many properties of Boolean functions can be defined by means of linear equations, we focus…

We say that a random integer variable $X$ is monotone if the modulus of the characteristic function of $X$ is decreasing on $[0,\pi]$. This is the case for many commonly encountered variables, e.g., Bernoulli, Poisson and geometric random…

The problem of testing monotonicity of a Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$ has received much attention recently. Denoting the proximity parameter by $\varepsilon$, the best tester is the non-adaptive…

A Boolean function of n bits is balanced if it takes the value 1 with probability 1/2. We exhibit a balanced Boolean function with a randomized evaluation procedure (with probability 0 of making a mistake) so that on uniformly random…

We study the probability of Boolean functions with small max influence to become constant under random restrictions. Let $f$ be a Boolean function such that the variance of $f$ is $\Omega(1)$ and all its individual influences are bounded by…

Threshold phenomena are investigated using a general approach, following Talagrand [Ann. Probab. 22 (1994) 1576--1587] and Friedgut and Kalai [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 12 (1999) 1017--1054]. The general upper bound for the threshold width of…

Molecular weight dependence of excluded volume effects is examined. The swollen-to-unperturbed coil transition point shifts to lower concentration range with increasing molecular weight (Mw). It is shown that in the limit of the infinite…

We give a number new examples analytically and numerically to confirm the Kohler conjecture. It turned out that for a rather large class of nonnegative functions the equality (A) hold.

This work presents a study of perturbations of symmetric Boolean functions. In particular, it establishes a connection between exponential sums of these perturbations and Diophantine equations of the form $$ \sum_{l=0}^n \binom{n}{l}…

We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…

We exhibit a change of variables that maintains the Mahler measure of a given polynomial. This method leads to the construction of highly non-trivial polynomials with given Mahler measure and settles some conjectural numerical formulas due…

Quantifying the influence of infinitesimal changes in training data on model performance is crucial for understanding and improving machine learning models. In this work, we reformulate this problem as a weighted empirical risk minimization…

Compounding submodular monotone (i.e. 2-alternating) set functions on a finite set preserves this property, as shown in 2010. A natural generalization to k-alternating functions was presented in 2018, however hardly readable because of page…
