We give a lower bound of ?(?n) on the unambiguous randomised parity-query complexity of the approximate majority problem – that is, on the lowest randomised parity-query complexity of any function over {0,1}? whose value is "0" if the Hamming weight of the input is at most n/3, is "1" if the weight is at least 2n/3, and may be arbitrary otherwise.
We give a lower bound of \Omega(\sqrt n) on the unambiguous randomised parity-query complexity of the approximate majority problem – that is, on the lowest randomised parity-query complexity of any function over {0,1}^n whose value is "0"; if the Hamming weight of the input is at most n/3, is "1"; if the weight is at least 2n/3, and may be arbitrary otherwise.
