TLDR
A very simple proof of a 7n/3 - c lower bound on the circuit complexity of a large class of functions representable by high degree polynomials over GF(2) is given.
Abstract
In this note, we use lower bounds on Boolean multiplicative complexity to prove lower bounds on Boolean circuit complexity. We give a very simple proof of a 7n/3 - c lower bound on the circuit complexity of a large class of functions representable by high degree polynomials over GF(2). The key idea of the proof is a circuit complexity measure assigning different weights to XOR and AND gates.

An explicit lower bound of 5n - o(n) for Boolean circuits

TL;DR: The current best lower bound of 4.5n - o(n) for an explicit family of Boolean circuits is improved to 5n- o( n) using the samefamily of Boolean function.

An elementary proof of a 3n - o(n) lower bound on the circuit complexity of affine dispersers

TL;DR: A very simple proof of a 3n-o(n) lower bound on the circuit complexity (over the full binary basis) of affine dispersers for sublinear dimension is given.

A better-than-3n lower bound for the circuit complexity of an explicit function.

TL;DR: A (3+1/86)n-o(n) lower bound on the size of a Boolean circuits over the full binary basis for an explicitly defined predicate, namely an affine disperser for sublinear dimension is proved.

A Better-Than-3n Lower Bound for the Circuit Complexity of an Explicit Function

TL;DR: In this article, a lower bound of 3 + 1/86 n-o(n) for the size of an affine disperser for sublinear dimensions was shown. But the lower bound was not satisfied for the full binary basis.

Circuit size lower bounds and #SAT upper bounds through a general framework.

TL;DR: This paper provides a general framework for proving worst/average case lower bounds for circuits and upper bounds for #SAT that is built on ideas of Chen and Kabanets, and shows that many known proofs (of circuit size lower bounds and higher bounds for#SAT) fall into this framework.

A 2dvEv- bit distributed algorithm for the directed Euler trail problem

TL;DR: The algorithm can be used as a building block for solving other distributed graph problems, and can be slightly modified to run on a strongly-connected diagraph for generating the existent Euler trail or to report that no Euler trails exist.

The synthesis of two-terminal switching circuits

TL;DR: A basic part of the general synthesis problem is the design of a two-terminal network with given operating characteristics, and this work shall consider some aspects of this problem.

A Boolean function requiring 3n network size

TL;DR: Paul (1977) has proved a 2.5 n -lower bound for the network complexity of an explicit Boolean function, but this work modifications the definition of Paul's function slightly and proves a 3 n - lower bound for that function.
