Abstract

We consider the class of almost symmetric Boolean functions. For any function of this class, the values on all tiers except the second one coincide with the values of a monotone symmetric function with threshold 3. The values on the second tier are arbitrary. We study realisation of functions of this class by & ∨ &- formulas over the basis {&, ∨}.

We obtain a sharp bound for the minimum complexity of the functions of this class (the function of minimum complexity is explicitly written out) and an asymptotic estimate of complexity of a monotone symmetric function with threshold 3 which is maximal in order of complexity in the class under consideration.
