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...
In this paper we investigate the relationship between the nonlinearity and the order of resiliency of a Boolean function. We first prove a sharper version of McEliece theorem for ...
A "pairing function" J associates a unique natural number z to any two natural numbers x,y such that for two "unpairing functions" K and L, the equalities K(J(x...
The paper presents QCAMP, a cube-based algorithm for minimization of single Boolean functions. The algorithm does not generate all the prime cubes, nor does it require the Off-set...
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...
