And/or tree probabilities of Boolean functions

Danièle Gardy, Alan Woods

Abstract


We consider two probability distributions on Boolean functions defined in terms of their representations by and/or trees (or formulas). The relationships between them, and connections with the complexity of the function, are studied. New and improved bounds on these probabilities are given for a wide class of functions, with special attention being paid to the constant function True and read-once functions in a fixed number of variables.
