Interval Representations of 2-Monotonic and Threshold Boolean Functions

چکیده
Threshold, 2-monotonic and interval Boolean functions constitute special classes of Boolean functions for which it is easy to decide many problems which are intractable for general Boolean functions. In our article we show that positive interval functions are a proper subset of positive threshold functions. Then we prove one property of 2-monotonic functions which is related to testing whether a 2-monotonic function is an interval function. Based on this we construct an algorithm which recognizes in linear time whether given positive threshold function is a positive interval function.

Relations of Threshold and k-Interval Boolean Functions
Every k-interval Boolean function f can be represented by at most k intervals of integers such that vector x is a truepoint of f if and only if the integer represented by x belongs to one of these k (disjoint) intervals. Since the correspondence of Boolean vectors and integers depends on the order of bits an interval representation is also specified with respect to an order of variables of the ...

The first step is to construct a class of skew-circular one-to-one threshold transformations of the Boolean n-space having single cycles of length 2n by means of [ ]representations. Then 2n-dimensional threshold transformations having single 2n-cycle attractors are constructed through expansion and neighborhood functions. The construction of ndimensional transformations having single 2n-cycle a...

The correlation of a Boolean functions with its spectral coefficients is closely related to the some cryptosystems and applications in engineering and computer sciences. By analysis of Boolean functions can be investigated whether a given function belongs to some standard class (linear, non-linear self-dual, threshold etc.) functions. For n variable Boolean function the number of nonzero spectr...
متن کاملRecognition of Positive 2-Interval Boolean Functions
Boolean function f on n variables is represented by set I of disjoint intervals of non-negative n-bit integers, if the following condition holds: vector x of length n is a truepoint of f , if and only if integer x, binary representation of which corresponds to vector x, belongs to some interval from I. In this paper we present a polynomial-time algorithm recognizing, whether a Boolean function ...
