New degree bounds for polynomial threshold functions
A real multivariate polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) is said to sign-represent a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n {-1, 1} if the sign of p(x) equals f(x) for all inputs x {0, 1}n. We gi...

The Gaussian Surface Area and Noise Sensitivity of Degree-d Polynomial Threshold Functions
Abstract. We prove asymptotically optimal bounds on the Gaussian noise sensitivity of degree-d polynomial threshold functions. These bounds translate into optimal bounds on the Gau...

Extremal properties of polynomial threshold functions
In this paper we give new extremal bounds on polynomial threshold function (PTF) representations of Boolean functions. Our results include the following: • Almost every Boolean ...

A Regularity Lemma, and Low-Weight Approximators, for Low-Degree Polynomial Threshold Functions
We give a “regularity lemma” for degree-d polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) over the Boolean cube {−1, 1}n . Roughly speaking, this result shows that every degree-d PTF ...

Weights of Exact Threshold Functions
We consider Boolean exact threshold functions defined by linear equations, and in general degree d polynomials. We give upper and lower bounds on the maximum magnitude (absolute va...
