Abstract

In this paper we research a model of multilayer circuits with a single logical layer. We consider λ\lambda-separable graphs as a support for circuits. We establish the Shannon function lower bound max(2nn,2n(1λ)logk)\max \bigl(\frac{2^n}{n}, \frac{2^n (1 - \lambda)}{\log k} \bigr) for this type of circuits where kk is the number of layers. For dd-dimensional graphs, which are λ\lambda-separable for λ=d1d\lambda = \frac{d - 1}{d}, this gives the Shannon function lower bound 2nmin(n,dlogk)\frac{2^n}{\min(n, d \log k)}. For multidimensional rectangular circuits the proved lower bound asymptotically matches to the upper bound.
