A Boolean function of n variables is a mapping f : {0, 1}^n to {0, 1}. . Determine the number of Boolean functions f of n variables such that
(i) f is not self-dual and f(0, 0, . . . , 0) = f(1, 1, . . . , 1),
(ii) f is self-dual and f(0, 0, . . . , 0) = 1.
I think for the first part, i need to find the number of functions that is not self-dual, then find the number of functions i need from it? For the second part,i absolutely have no clue, please help me with this question.

For the first part, I would calculate the number of self-dual functions, and the number of functions where f(0, 0, . . . , 0) = f(1, 1, . . . , 1). As all self-dual functions satisfy that condition, both numbers are sufficient to get the answer.

For the second part: Well, you know f(1, 1, . . . , 1) as well. How many independent function values are left which you can choose?
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
