In this note, we use lower bounds on Boolean multiplicative complexity to prove lower bounds on Boolean circuit complexity. We give a very simple proof of a 7n/3 − c lower bound ...
This work is a study of neutrality in the context of Evolutionary Computation systems. In particular, we introduce the use of explicit neutrality with an integer string coding sche...
This paper describes the recently developed genetic programming paradigm which genetically breeds populations of computer programs to solve problems. In genetic programming, the i...
We discuss several complexity measures for Boolean functions: certi cate complexity, sensitivity, block sensitivity, and the degree of a representing or approximating polynomial. ...
The "regularity" of a Boolean function can be exploited for decreasing its minimization time. It has already been shown that the notion of autosymmetry is a valid measure...
