Circuit Complexity and Multiplicative Complexity of Boolean Functions
In this note, we use lower bounds on Boolean multiplicative complexity to prove lower bounds on Boolean circuit complexity. We give a very simple proof of a 7n/3 − c lower bound on the circuit complexity of a large class of functions representable by high degree polynomials over GF(2). The key idea of the proof is a circuit complexity measure assigning different weights to XOR and AND gates.
