Research Abstract

We investigated the complexity of Boolean circuits which consist of AND gates, OR gates and Negation gates for the case that the number of Negation gates is restricted. We mainly obtained results on the inversion complexity, which is the minimum number of Negation gates to compute a Boolean function, for formulas, non-deterministic circuits and probabilistic circuits. In this study, Boolean circuits are considered as a mathematical model of computation, and we studied it from the viewpoint of the computational complexity theory.
