  • Abstract
    The complexity of the switching networks necessary to realize arbitrary combinational functions is studied. Asymptotic upper and lower bounds for fully defined functions are well known, while lower bounds also exist for partially defined combinational functions. The present paper supplements these results with the upper bounds for the partially defined functions. The results have possible relevance to pattern recognition.
