Lower bounds for synchronous circuits and planar circuits (Q1114661): Difference between revisions

It is shown that there exist explicitly defined one-output Boolean functions \(f_ n\) and \(g_ n\) with circuit complexity O(n) such that the synchronous circuit complexity of \(f_ n\) is \(\Omega\) (n log n) and the planar circuit complexity of \(g_ n\) is \(\Omega (n^ 2)\).
