A Note on the Distance to Monotonicity of Boolean Functions
Given a function f : {0, 1}n {0, 1}, let M (f) denote the smallest distance between f and a monotone function on {0, 1}n . Let M (f) denote the fraction of hypercube edges where f...

Influences of monotone Boolean functions
Recently, Keller and Pilpel conjectured that the influence of a monotone Boolean function does not decrease if we apply to it an invertible linear transformation. Our aim in this s...

Distribution-Free Testing Lower Bounds for Basic Boolean Functions
: In the distribution-free property testing model, the distance between functions is measured with respect to an arbitrary and unknown probability distribution D over the input dom...

KKL, Kruskal-Katona, and Monotone Nets
We generalize the Kahn-Kalai-Linial (KKL) Theorem to random walks on Cayley and Schreier graphs, making progress on an open problem of Hoory, Linial, and Wigderson. In our general...
