Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

Sensitivity Versus Block Sensitivity, I

There are two important measures of the complexity of a boolean function: the sensitivity and block sensitivity. Whether or not they are polynomial related remains a major open question. In this talk I will survey some known results on this conjecture, and its connection with various combinatorial problems.
