The simplest way to start documenting Excel formulas like a coder is by using the N () function. Although its primary job is to convert non-numeric values into numbers, it has a hidden quirk: because ...

In the often abstract, occasionally esoteric world of artificial intelligence research, it’s rare to see a philosophical ...

In most counting scenarios in Excel, COUNTBLANK reliably counts blank cells, and COUNTA reliably counts populated cells. However, with these functions comes a problematic paradox: an empty string from ...

Abstract: We present an extensive study of symmetric Boolean functions, especially of their cryptographic properties. Our main result establishes the link between the periodicity of the simplified ...

ABSTRACT: We establish quantum circuit complexity as a fundamental physical observable and prove that it satisfies an uncertainty relation with energy, analogous to Heisenberg’s canonical uncertainty ...

Abstract: We introduce and characterize those Boolean functions (graph functions) which can be regarded as characteristic functions of graphs of other Boolean functions. An algorithm for detecting ...

ABSTRACT: This survey article illustrates many important current trends and perspectives for the field and their applications, of interest to researchers in modern algebra, mathematical logic and ...
