This paper investigates the learnability of the nonlinearity property of Boolean functions using neural networks. We train encoder style deep neural networks to learn to predict the nonlinearity of Boolean functions from examples of…
This paper considers the problem of approximating a Boolean function $f$ using another Boolean function from a specified class. Two classes of approximating functions are considered: $k$-juntas, and linear Boolean functions. The $n$ input…
This is a brief overview of the basic techniques of Boolean valued analysis.
We survey current term-wise techniques for quadratizing high-degree pseudo-Boolean functions and introduce a new one, which allows multiple splits of terms. We also introduce the first aggregative approach, which splits a collection of…
In this paper we investigate the complexity of abduction, a fundamental and important form of non-monotonic reasoning. Given a knowledge base explaining the world's behavior it aims at finding an explanation for some observed manifestation.…
We develop a notion of computability and complexity of functions over the reals, which seems to be very natural when one tries to determine just how "difficult" a certain function is. This notion can be viewed as an extension of both BSS…
We study the deterministic query complexity of Boolean functions on slices of the hypercube. The $k^{th}$ slice $\binom{[n]}{k}$ of the hypercube $\{0,1\}^n$ is the set of all $n$-bit strings with Hamming weight $k$. We show that there…
Boolean functions can be represented in many ways including logical forms, truth tables, and polynomials. Additionally, Boolean functions have different canonical representations such as minimal disjunctive normal forms. Other canonical…
We study nondeterministic communication complexity and related concepts (fooling sets, fractional covering number) of random functions $f\colon X\times Y \to \{0,1\}$ where each value is chosen to be 1 independently with probability…
We introduce partial differential encodings of Boolean functions as a way of measuring the complexity of Boolean functions. These encodings enable us to derive from group actions non-trivial bounds on the Chow-Rank of polynomials used to…
Boolean functions are mathematical objects with numerous applications in domains like coding theory, cryptography, and telecommunications. Finding Boolean functions with specific properties is a complex combinatorial optimization problem…

The number partition problem is a well-known problem, which is one of 21 Karp's NP-complete problems \cite{karp}. The partition function is a boolean function that is equivalent to the number partition problem with number range restricted.…

This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the 2nd International Workshop on Linearity (LINEARITY'2012), which took place 1 April 2012 in Tallinn, Estonia. The workshop was a one-day satellite event of ETAPS 2012, the 15th…
It is shown by the author in 2017 that for the union of N orthants in the n-dimensional space there exists an efficient and systematic way to find the exact value, using a suitable partial order relation construction. In this paper our…

This paper develops upper and lower bounds for the probability of Boolean functions by treating multiple occurrences of variables as independent and assigning them new individual probabilities. We call this approach dissociation and give an…
Determining the maximal separation between sensitivity and block sensitivity of Boolean functions is of interest for computational complexity theory. We construct a sequence of Boolean functions with bs(f) = 1/2 s(f)^2 + 1/2 s(f). The best…
