Invariance groups of finite functions and orbit equivalence of permutation groups

Eszter K. Horváth, Géza Makay, Reinhard Pöschel, Tamás Waldhauser (2015)

Open Mathematics

Which subgroups of the symmetric group Sn arise as invariance groups of n-variable functions defined on a k-element domain? It appears that the higher the difference n-k, the more difficult it is to answer this question. For k ≤ n, the answer is easy: all subgroups of Sn are invariance groups. We give a complete answer in the cases k = n-1 and k = n-2, and we also give a partial answer in the general case: we describe invariance groups when n is much larger than n-k. The proof utilizes Galois connections...

On maximal QROBDD’s of boolean functions

Jean-Francis Michon, Jean-Baptiste Yunès, Pierre Valarcher (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We investigate the structure of “worst-case” quasi reduced ordered decision diagrams and Boolean functions whose truth tables are associated to: we suggest different ways to count and enumerate them. We, then, introduce a notion of complexity which leads to the concept of “hard” Boolean functions as functions whose QROBDD are “worst-case” ones. So we exhibit the relation between hard functions and the Storage Access function (also known as Multiplexer).
