Breaking the Rectangle Bound Barrier against Formula Size Lower Bounds
Karchmer, Kushilevitz and Nisan formulated the formula size problem as an integer programming problem called the rectangle bound and introduced a technique called the LP bound, whi...

The Quantum Adversary Method and Classical Formula Size Lower Bounds
We introduce two new complexity measures for Boolean functions, which we name sumPI and maxPI. The quantity sumPI has been emerging through a line of research on quantum query com...

A New Rank Technique for Formula Size Lower Bounds
We exactly determine the formula size of the parity function. If n = 2 + k, where 0 ≤ k < 2 , then the formula size of parity on n bits is 2 (2 + 3k) = n2 + k2 − k2 . Khrap...

A Stronger LP Bound for Formula Size Lower Bounds via Clique Constraints
We introduce a new technique proving formula size lower bounds based on the linear programming bound originally introduced by Karchmer, Kushilevitz and Nisan [11] and the theory of...
