    Various classes of Boolean functions are introduced: connected, strongly connected, geodetic, convex, strongly convex and concordant. They are characterized by some properties of the subgraph of the Boolean hypercube induced by the (false) true points of a function. The relationships between these properties and the DNF representation of a Boolean function as well as the inclusions between these classes are studied.
