Description

We establishe some relations among sensitivity, block sensitivity, and certificate complexity of Boolean functions. We show that for any Boolean function of n variables, if its sensitivity is s≥2 and its certificate complexity is c, then c≤2^<s-1>s-1 holds. Also, we prove that if a Boolean function of n variables with sensitivity s and certificate complexity c exists, then for any s′ and c′ satisfying s≤s′≤c′≤c, a Boolean function of n variables with sensitivity s' and certificate complexity c′ exists. From the relations we obtain, for n≤7 we can determine the combinations (n, s, c) for which a Boolean function of n variables with sensitivity s and certificate complexity c exists.
