In this paper relations between several complexity measures for families of Boolean functions, such as circuit size, formula size, and (monotone) representation size are presented. Roughly speaking, the circuit size of a Boolean function f is the smallest circuit and its formula size is the smallest Boolean function representing f. Furthermore, a family P of functions is a sequence \(\{P_ n\}_{n\in S}\) where \(P_ n\) is a function of n variables and \(S\subseteq N\). A family P is (monotone) universal if all (monotone) functions f are (monotone) projections of some members of P. The (monotone) representation size with respect to a (monotone) universal family P for a (monotone) function f is defined to be the smallest m such that f is a (monotone) projection of \(P_ m\).
