Golumbic et al. [Discrete Applied Mathematics 154(2006) 1465-1477] defined the readability of a monotone Boolean function f to be the minimum integer k such that there exists an ...
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...
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...
We show how to construct interlocked collections of simple polygons in the plane that fall apart upon removing certain combinations of pieces. Precisely, interiordisjoint simple p...
