Constant Depth Circuits, Fourier Transform, and Learnability
In this paper, Boolean functions in ,4C0 are studied using harmonic analysis on the cube. The main result is that an ACO Boolean function has almost all of its “power spectrum”...

Characterizing Linear Size Circuits in Terms of Privacy
In this paper we prove a perhaps unexpected relationship between the complexity class of the boolean functions that have linear size circuits, and n-party private protocols. Speci...

Low power logic synthesis for XOR based circuits
An abundance of research e orts in low power logic synthesis have so far been focused on and or or nand nor based logic. A typical approach is to rst generate an initial multi-lev...

Optimizing Logic Design Using Boolean Transforms
When a Boolean function is transformed by exclusiveOR with a suitably selected transform function, the new functzon is often synthesized wzth significantly reduced hardware. `I�...

Quantum Lower Bounds by Polynomials
We examine the number T of queries that a quantum network requires to compute several Boolean functions on f0;1gN in the black-box model. We show that, in the blackbox model, the ...

On Polynomial Representations of Boolean Functions Related to Some Number Theoretic Problems
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 ⇐...

The Def-inite Approach to Dependency Analysis
Abstract. We propose a new representation for the domain of Definite Boolean functions. The key idea is to view the set of models of a Boolean function as an incidence relation be...

In Search of an Easy Witness: Exponential Time vs. Probabilistic Polynomial Time
Restricting the search space {0, 1}n to the set of truth tables of “easy” Boolean functions on log n variables, as well as using some known hardness-randomness tradeoffs, we ...

Algebraic Attacks on Stream Ciphers with Linear Feedback
A classical construction of stream ciphers is to combine several LFSRs and a highly non-linear Boolean function f. Their security is usually analysed in terms of correlation attack...
