Monotone circuits for monotone weighted threshold functions
Weighted threshold functions with positive weights are a natural generalization of unweighted threshold functions. These functions are clearly monotone. However, the naive way of computing them is adding the weights of the satisfied variables and checking if the sum is greater than the threshold; this algorithm is inherently non-monotone since addition is a non-monotone function. In this work w...
متن کاملMonotone Boolean formulas can approximate monotone linear threshold functions
We show that any monotone linear threshold function on n Boolean variables can be approximated to within any constant accuracy by a monotone Boolean formula of poly(n) size.
متن کاملTwo-stage threshold representations
We study two-stage choice procedures in which the decision maker first preselects the alternatives whose values according to a criterion pass a menu-dependent threshold and then maximizes a second criterion to narrow the selection further. This framework overlaps with several existing models that have various interpretations and impose various additional restrictions on behavior. We show that t...
متن کاملBetter Lower Bounds for Monotone Threshold Formulas
We show that every monotone formula that computes the threshold function THk,n, 2 ≤ k ≤ n2 , has size at least ⌊ k 2 ⌋ n log( n k−1 ). The same lower bound is shown to hold in the stronger monotone directed contact networks model.
متن کاملArbitrary Threshold Widths for Monotone , Symmetric Properties
We investigate the threshold widths of some symmetric properties which range asymptotically between 1/ √ n and 1/ log n. These properties are built using a combination of failure sets arising from reliability theory. This combination of sets is simply called a product. Some general results on the threshold width of the product of two sets A and B in terms of the threshold locations and widths o...
