THEORY OF ADJUSTABLE SWITCHING NETWORKS.
Abstract
The report consists of four independent sections: (1) 'Tschebycheff Approximation and Threshold Functions' provides, among other things, a new characterization of threshold functions - a function is a threshold function if and only if its Tschebycheff-best linear real approximation realizes it. (2) 'Properties of Threshold Functions' defines a system of unifying properties of threshold functions which incorporate k-monotonicities and k-dualmonotonicities; the ideas are applied to yield a strong and important new characterization of threshold functions for specific n. (3) 'On Threshold Functions Through n = 7' reports the methods used in, and implications of, an enumeration published elsewhere. (4) 'A Burst ErrorCorrecting Code' discusses a new code, suitable for use in batch-fabricated memories, which requires extremely simple encoding-decoding equipment. (Author)
