In this document, we study efficient representations, in term of size, of a given semantic content. We first extend an equational specification of median forms from the domain of Boolean functions to that of lattice polynomials over distributive lattices, both domains that are crucial in artificial intelligence. This specification is sound and complete: it allows us to algebraically simplify median forms into median normal forms (MNF), that we define as minimal median formulas with respect to a structural ordering of expressions. We investigate related complexity issues and show that the problem of deciding if a formula is in MNF, that is, minimizing the median form of a monotone Boolean function, is in sigmaP, at the second level of the po...
