In this paper we analyse the complexity of boolean functions takes value 0 on a sufficiently small number of points. For many functions this leads to the analysis of a single function attains 0 only on unsigned representation of numbers…
In this work we investigate into energy complexity, a Boolean function measure related to circuit complexity. Given a circuit $\mathcal{C}$ over the standard basis $\{\vee_2,\wedge_2,\neg\}$, the energy complexity of $\mathcal{C}$, denoted…
The problem of constructing hazard-free Boolean circuits dates back to the 1940s and is an important problem in circuit design. Our main lower-bound result unconditionally shows the existence of functions whose circuit complexity is…
We provide accurate upper bounds on the Boolean circuit complexity of the standard and the Karatsuba methods of integer multiplication
We compute the nonlinearity of Boolean functions with Groebner basis techniques, providing two algorithms: one over the binary field and the other over the rationals. We also estimate their complexity. Then we show how to improve our…
It is already shown that a Boolean function for a NP-complete problem can be computed by a polynomial-sized circuit if its variables have enough number of automorphisms. Looking at this previous study from the different perspective gives us…
Multiplication is one of the most fundamental computational problems, yet its true complexity remains elusive. The best known upper bound, by F\"{u}rer, shows that two $n$-bit numbers can be multiplied via a boolean circuit of size $O(n \lg…
We say that a circuit $C$ over a field $F$ functionally computes an $n$-variate polynomial $P$ if for every $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ we have that $C(x) = P(x)$. This is in contrast to syntactically computing $P$, when $C \equiv P$ as formal…
We relate the computational complexity of finite strings to universal representations of their underlying symmetries. First, Boolean functions are classified using the universal covering topologies of the circuits which enumerate them. A…
We define and study the complexity of robust polynomials for Boolean functions and the related fault-tolerant quantum decision trees, where input bits are perturbed by noise. We compare several different possible definitions. Our main…
We examine the complexity of basic regular operations on languages represented by Boolean and alternating finite automata. We get tight upper bounds m+n and m+n+1 for union, intersection, and difference, 2^m+n and 2^m+n+1 for concatenation,…
Satisfiability of Boolean circuits is among the most known and important problems in theoretical computer science. This problem is NP-complete in general but becomes polynomial time when restricted either to monotone gates or linear gates.…
We generalize and extend the ideas in a recent paper of Chiarelli, Hatami and Saks to prove new bounds on the number of relevant variables for boolean functions in terms of a variety of complexity measures. Our approach unifies and refines…
Many underlying structural and functional factors that determine the fault behavior of a combinational network, are not yet fully understood. In this paper, we show that there exists a large class of Boolean functions, called root…
This paper describes a purely functional library for computing level-$p$-complexity of Boolean functions, and applies it to two-level iterated majority. Boolean functions are simply functions from $n$ bits to one bit, and they can describe…
The motivation for this paper is to study the complexity of constant-width arithmetic circuits. Our main results are the following. 1. For every k > 1, we provide an explicit polynomial that can be computed by a linear-sized monotone…
Polymorphic circuits are a special kind of circuits which possess multiple build-in functions, and these functions are activated by environment parameters, like temperature, light and VDD. The behavior of a polymorphic circuit can be…
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…
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…
The paper discusses the gate complexity of reversible circuits consisting of NOT, CNOT and 2-CNOT gates. The Shannon gate complexity function $L(n, q)$ for a reversible circuit, implementing a Boolean transformation $f\colon \mathbb Z_2^n…
