Associative and commutative tree representations for Boolean functions

International audienceSince the 1990s, the probability distribution on Boolean functions, induced by some random formulas built upon the connectives And and Or, has been intensively studied. These formulas rely on plane binary trees. We extend all the results, in particular the relation between the probability and the complexity of a function, to more general formula structures: non-binary or non-plane trees. These formulas satisfy the natural properties of associativity and commutativity
