We present a regularity lemma for Boolean functions $f:\{-1,1\}^n \to \{-1,1\}$ based on noisy influence, a measure of how locally correlated $f$ is with each input bit. We provide an application of the regularity lemma to weaken the…

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…

We give the first agnostic, efficient, proper learning algorithm for monotone Boolean functions. Given $2^{\tilde{O}(\sqrt{n}/\varepsilon)}$ uniformly random examples of an unknown function $f:\{\pm 1\}^n \rightarrow \{\pm 1\}$, our…

We associate to each Boolean function a polynomial whose evaluations represents the distances from all possible Boolean affine functions. Both determining the coefficients of this polynomial from the truth table of the Boolean function and…

We present an $\tilde{O}(n^{2/3}/\epsilon^2)$-query algorithm that tests whether an unknown Boolean function $f\colon\{0,1\}^n\rightarrow \{0,1\}$ is unate (i.e., every variable is either non-decreasing or non-increasing) or $\epsilon$-far…

Monotone Boolean functions are a structurally important class of Boolean functions, but their restricted form imposes strong limitations on achievable nonlinearity. In this paper, we investigate whether evolutionary computation can evolve…

We introduce a simply stated conjecture regarding the maximum mutual information a Boolean function can reveal about noisy inputs. Specifically, let $X^n$ be i.i.d. Bernoulli(1/2), and let $Y^n$ be the result of passing $X^n$ through a…

Classification of Non-linear Boolean functions is a long-standing problem in the area of theoretical computer science. In this paper, effort has been made to achieve a systematic classification of all n-variable Boolean functions, where…

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding perfectly balanced Boolean functions with high non-linearity values. Such functions have extensive applications in domains such as cryptography and error-correcting coding theory. We provide…

It is shown that the counting function of n Boolean variables can be implemented with the formulae of size O(n^3.06) over the basis of all 2-input Boolean functions and of size O(n^4.54) over the standard basis. The same bounds follow for…

The model of relative-error property testing of Boolean functions has been the subject of significant recent research effort [CDH+24][CPPS25a][CPPS25b] In this paper we consider the problem of relative-error testing an unknown and arbitrary…

We study noisy computation in randomly generated k-ary Boolean formulas. We establish bounds on the noise level above which the results of computation by random formulas are not reliable. This bound is saturated by formulas constructed from…

We study the computation complexity of Boolean functions in the quantum black box model. In this model our task is to compute a function $f:\{0,1\}\to\{0,1\}$ on an input $x\in\{0,1\}^n$ that can be accessed by querying the black box.…

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…

We discuss quantum algorithms, based on the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm, for finding which variables a Boolean function depends on. There are 2^n possible linear Boolean functions of n variables; given a linear Boolean function, the…

We consider the multiplicative complexity of Boolean functions with multiple bits of output, studying how large a multiplicative complexity is necessary and sufficient to provide a desired nonlinearity. For so-called $\Sigma\Pi\Sigma$…

Finding Boolean functions suitable for cryptographic primitives is a complex combinatorial optimization problem, since they must satisfy several properties to resist cryptanalytic attacks, and the space is very large, which grows super…

Consider a monotone Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n\to\{0,1\}$ and the canonical monotone coupling $\{\eta_p:p\in[0,1]\}$ of an element in $\{0,1\}^n$ chosen according to product measure with intensity $p\in[0,1]$. The random point…

Let $D_n$ denote the set of monotone Boolean functions with $n$ variables. Elements of $D_n$ can be represented as strings of bits of length $2^n$. Two elements of $D_0$ are represented as 0 and 1 and any element $g\in D_n$, with $n>0$, is…

Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm (2001) showed that weighted majority functions of $n$ independent unbiased bits are uniformly stable under noise: when each bit is flipped with probability $\epsilon$, the probability $p_\epsilon$ that the…
