"Lower bounds for the complexity of ..." refers background or result in this paper
...It has been argued (Pippenger [11]) that for proving lower bounds this is the best model to consider, as opposed to proving upper bounds, where the assumption that the gates fail independently with probability at most ε ∈ (0, 1/2) is more appropriate....

...Pippenger [11] proved that any function depending on n variables can be computed by O(2n/n) noisy gates....

...Pippenger [11] also exhibited specific functions with constant redundancy....

...Pippenger, Stamoulis and Tsitsiklis [12] pointed out the questionable arguments in the proof, and suggested that part of the strategy seemed hopelessly flawed....

...It is natural to ask whether there exist functions with nonconstant redundancy or whether the O(L log L) upper bound of [9],[3],[11] is tight for some functions....
