In this paper we study the degree of non-constant symmetric functions f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1, . . . , c}, where c ∈ N, when represented as polynomials over the real numbers. We s...
Hardness results for maximum agreement problems have close connections to hardness results for proper learning in computational learning theory. In this paper we prove two hardnes...

We say a polynomial P over ZZM strongly M -represents a Boolean function F if F(x) ≡ P(x) (mod M) for all x ∈ {0, 1}n . Similarly, P one-sidedly M -represents F if F(x) = 0 ⇐...
We report on some initial results of a brute-force search for determining the maximum correlation between degree-d polynomials modulo p and the n-bit mod q function. For various s...
