We study the lattice of all Borel clones on $2 = \{0,1\}$: classes of Borel functions $f : 2^n \to 2$, $n \le \omega$, which are closed under composition and include all projections. This is a natural extension to countable arities of…
In this paper, we study the learnability of the Boolean class of $d$-monotone functions $f:{\cal X}\to\{0,1\}$ from membership and equivalence queries, where $({\cal X},\le)$ is a finite lattice. We show that the class of $d$-monotone…

In this paper we study the problem of detecting prime numbers between all consecutive cubes. Firstly, we use a large computation to show that there is always a prime between $n^3$ and $(n+1)^3$ for $n^3\leq 1.649\cdot 10^{40}$. In addition,…
Differentially 4-uniform permutations on $\gf_{2^{2k}}$ with high nonlinearity are often chosen as Substitution boxes in both block and stream ciphers. Recently, Qu et al. introduced a class of functions, which are called preferred…

Lattice induced threshold function is a Boolean function determined by a particular linear combination of lattice elements. We prove that every isotone Boolean function is a lattice induced threshold function and vice versa. We also…
Any monotone Boolean circuit computing the $n$-dimensional Boolean convolution requires at least $n^2$ and-gates. This precisely matches the obvious upper bound.
We study functional clones, which are sets of non-negative pseudo-Boolean functions (functions $\{0,1\}^k\to\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$) closed under (essentially) multiplication, summation and limits. Functional clones naturally form a lattice…
A nearest neighbor representation of a Boolean function is a set of positive and negative prototypes in $R^n$ such that the function has value 1 on an input iff the closest prototype is positive. For $k$-nearest neighbor representation the…
