Abstract:

It is shown that a good estimation of the mean value of a boolean function f dened on f0; 1g m can be obtained by choosing a number of sample points D that is polynomial in m even if the boolean function is chosen by a malicious adversary that knows the sample points, provided that f is computable by a circuit of size at most D
