Thesis (M.A.)--Özyeğin University, Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering, Department of Computer Science, June 2017.Boolean functions (BF) are one of the fundamental concepts in discrete mathematics. It is possible to represent any BF by a unique polynomial when one takes -1 as True and 1 as False. Coefficients of the polynomial representing the given BF can be found with Lagrange interpolation. When the exact interpolation criterion is replaced with the signmatch criterion, one can find infinitely many sign representing polynomials for a given truth table. The problem of finding a minimum number of monomial set that is sufficient to represent a BF is a difficult mathematical problem. This thesis aims to contribute to its solution by ...
