Decision Trees and Influence: an Inductive Proof of the OSSS Inequality
: We give a simple proof of the OSSS inequality (O'Donnell, Saks, Schramm, Servedio, FOCS 2005). The inequality states that for any decision tree T calculating a Boolean funct...

SAT-based protein design
Computational protein design can be formulated as an optimization problem, where the objective is to identify the sequence of amino acids that minimizes the energy of a given prot...

Binary Rule Generation via Hamming Clustering
The generation of a set of rules underlying a classification problem is performed by applying a new algorithm, called Hamming Clustering (HC). It reconstructs the and-or expressio...

Recognition and dualization of disguised bidual Horn functions
We consider the problem of dualizing a Boolean function f given by CNF, i.e., computing a CNF for its dual fd . While this problem is not solvable in quasi-polynomial total time i...

And/Or Trees Revisited
We consider boolean functions over n variables. Any such function can be represented (and computed) by a complete binary tree with and or or in the internal nodes and a literal in...

Quantum certificate complexity
Given a Boolean function f, we study two natural generalizations of the certificate complexity C (f): the randomized certificate complexity RC (f) and the quantum certificate comp...

Through the Interaction of Neutral and Adaptive Mutations, Evolutionary Search Finds a Way
An evolutionary system that supports the interaction of neutral and adaptive mutations is investigated. Experimental results on a Boolean function and needle-in-haystack problems s...

Query Complexity in Errorless Hardness Amplification
An errorless circuit for a boolean function is one that outputs the correct answer or "don't know" on each input (and never outputs the wrong answer). The goal of e...

Asymptotic enumeration of correlation-immune boolean functions
A boolean function of n boolean variables is correlation-immune of order k if the function value is uncorrelated with the values of any k of the arguments. Such functions are of co...

Recognition of interval Boolean functions
Interval functions constitute quite a special class of Boolean functions for which it is very easy and fast to determine their functional value on a specified input vector. Their ...
