Abstract: Every boolean function may be represented as a real polynomial. In this paper we characterize the degree of this polynomial in terms of certain combinatorial properties of the boolean function. Our first result is a tight lower bound of\Omega\Gamma/33 n) on the degree needed to represent any boolean function that depends on n variables. Our second result states that for every boolean function f the following measures are all polynomially related: ffl The decision tree complexity of f .... (Update)
