Abstract: | A. A. Razborov has shown that there exists a polynomial time computable monotone Boolean function whose monotone circuit complexity is at leastnc losn. We observe that this lower bound can be improved to exp(cn1/6–o(1)). The proof is immediate by combining the Alon—Boppana version of another argument of Razborov with results of Grötschel—Lovász—Schrijver on the Lovász — capacity, of a graph. |
