Analysis of Affinely Equivalent Boolean Functions
By walsh
transform, autocorrelation function, decomposition, derivation and
modification of truth table, some new invariants are obtained.
Based on invariant theory, we get two results: first a general
algorithm which can be used to judge if two boolean functions are
affinely equivalent and to obtain the affine equivalence
relationship if they are equivalent. For example, all 8-variable
homogenous bent functions of degree 3 are classified into 2
classes; second, the classification of the Reed-Muller code
which can be used to almost
enumeration of 8-variable bent functions
Characterizing and Reasoning about Probabilistic and Non-Probabilistic Expectation
Expectation is a central notion in probability theory. The notion of
expectation also makes sense for other notions of uncertainty. We introduce a
propositional logic for reasoning about expectation, where the semantics
depends on the underlying representation of uncertainty. We give sound and
complete axiomatizations for the logic in the case that the underlying
representation is (a) probability, (b) sets of probability measures, (c) belief
functions, and (d) possibility measures. We show that this logic is more
expressive than the corresponding logic for reasoning about likelihood in the
case of sets of probability measures, but equi-expressive in the case of
probability, belief, and possibility. Finally, we show that satisfiability for
these logics is NP-complete, no harder than satisfiability for propositional
logic.Comment: To appear in Journal of the AC
Representation of States on Effect-Tribes and Effect Algebras by Integrals
We describe -additive states on effect-tribes by integrals.
Effect-tribes are monotone -complete effect algebras of functions where
operations are defined by points. Then we show that every state on an effect
algebra is an integral through a Borel regular probability measure. Finally, we
show that every -convex combination of extremal states on a monotone
-complete effect algebra is a Jauch-Piron state.Comment: 20 page
Toward a probability theory for product logic: states, integral representation and reasoning
The aim of this paper is to extend probability theory from the classical to
the product t-norm fuzzy logic setting. More precisely, we axiomatize a
generalized notion of finitely additive probability for product logic formulas,
called state, and show that every state is the Lebesgue integral with respect
to a unique regular Borel probability measure. Furthermore, the relation
between states and measures is shown to be one-one. In addition, we study
geometrical properties of the convex set of states and show that extremal
states, i.e., the extremal points of the state space, are the same as the
truth-value assignments of the logic. Finally, we axiomatize a two-tiered modal
logic for probabilistic reasoning on product logic events and prove soundness
and completeness with respect to probabilistic spaces, where the algebra is a
free product algebra and the measure is a state in the above sense.Comment: 27 pages, 1 figur
