We revisit this classical problem by giving an alternative, explicit expression of this probability. We then consider a refinement of it, namely the probability that a random expression computes a specific Boolean function. The answers to both problems involve a description of 2-Xor expressions as multigraphs and use classical methods of analytic combinatorics by expressing probabilities through coefficients of generating functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-24T17:22:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "probability", "satisfiability", "random expression", "specific boolean function", "analytic combinatorics" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151107813D" } } }
