Boolean Functions: Influence, threshold and noise
This lecture studies the analysis of Boolean functions and present a few ideas, results, proofs, and problems. We start with the wider picture of expansion in graphs and then concentrate on the graph of the n-dimensional discrete cube Ωn. Boolean functions are functions from Ωn to {0, 1}. We consider the notion of the influence of variables on Boolean functions. The influence of a variable on a...
متن کاملAdvanced Algorithms Lecture Notes
Preface This is a set of lecture notes for the 3rd year course " Advanced Algorithms " which I gave in Tsinghua University for Yao-class students in the Spring and Fall terms in 2011. This set of notes is partially based on the notes scribed by students taking the course the first time it was given. Many thanks to Xiahong Hao and Nathan Hobbs for their hard work in critically revising, editing,...
متن کاملA note on the Entropy/Influence conjecture
The Entropy/Influence conjecture, raised by Friedgut and Kalai (1996) [9], seeks to relate two different measures of concentration of the Fourier coefficients of a Boolean function. Roughly saying, it claims that if the Fourier spectrum is “smeared out”, then the Fourier coefficients are concentrated on “high” levels. In this note we generalize the conjecture to biased product measures on the d...
متن کاملFKN Theorem on the biased cube
In this note we consider Boolean functions defined on the discrete cube {−γ, γ−1}n equipped with a product probability measure μ⊗n, where μ = βδ−γ + αδγ−1 and γ = √ α/β. This normalization ensures that the coordinate functions (xi)i=1,...,n are orthonormal in L2({−γ, γ−1}n, μ⊗n). We prove that if the spectrum of a Boolean function is concentrated on the first two Fourier levels, then the functi...
متن کاملDetecting buried channels using linear least square RGB color stacking method based on deconvolutive short time Fourier transform
Buried channels are one of the stratigraphic hydrocarbon traps. They are often filled with a variety of porous and permeable sediments so they are important in the exploration of oil and gas reservoirs. In reflection seismic data, high-frequency components are sensitive to the channel thickness, whereas, low-frequency components are sensitive to the channel infill materials. Therefore, decompos...
