Title: Polynomial Threshold Functions: Structure, Approximation and Pseudorandomness

Revisions: 1

We study the computational power of polynomial threshold functions, that is, threshold functions of real polynomials over the boolean cube. We provide two new results bounding the computational power of this model.
Our first result shows that low-degree polynomial threshold functions cannot approximate any function with many influential variables. We ... more >>>
