Title
Threshold Circuits for Global Patterns in 2-Dimensional Maps.
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a biologically-inspired Boolean function, called (P^n_D), which models a task for detecting specific global spatial arrangements of local visual patterns on a 2-dimensional map. We prove that (P^n_D) is computable by a threshold circuit of size (O(sqrt{n}log n)), which is improvement on the previous upper bound O(n). We also show that the size of our circuit is almost optimal up to logarithmic factor: we show that any threshold circuit computing (P^n_D) needs size (Omega(sqrt{n}/log n)).
