Probabilistic (or randomized) decision trees can be used to compute Boolean functions. We consider two types of probabilistic decision trees - one has a certain probability to give...

We estimate Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function which has recently been introduced in the study of read-once branching programs. Our bound implies that this function has an...

We prove that the reliable computation of any Boolean function with sensitivity s requires Ω(s log s) gates if the gates of the circuit fail independently with a fixed positive...

We investigate the link between the nonlinearity of a Boolean function and its propagation characteristics. We prove that highly nonlinear functions usually have good propagation p...

Abstract. One of the most basic requirements concerning Boolean functions used in cryptosystems is that they must have high algebraic degrees. This simple criterion is not always w...

Let us have an NLFSR with the feedback function g(x) and an LFSR with the generating polynomial f(x). The function g(x) is a Boolean function on the state of the NLFSR and the LFS...

This paper studies the implementation of Boolean functions with lattices of two-dimensional switches. Each switch is controlled by a Boolean literal. If the literal is 1, the swit...

Every Boolean function on n variables can be expressed as a unique multivariate polynomial modulo p for every prime p. In this work, we study how the degree of a function in one c...
