Towards Optimal Tree Construction of Monotone Functions

This thesis focuses on finding counterexamples for the conjecture suggested by Dr. Jackson that if two Boolean variables i and j in a monotone Boolean function have the relation such that if i is relevant in only one sub-tree with j as root while j is relevant in both sub-trees with i as root, then the optimal tree size (defined as the number of leaves in the tree) with j as root is as least as small as the optimal tree size with i as root. All distinct monotone Boolean functions of up to 6 variables and some interesting functions of 7 and 8 variables are tested; no counterexample has been found
