17 2 Tools of Our Research Polynomials over a Finite Field 17

18 2 Tools of Our Research Polynomials over a Finite Field Let k (> 1) be a power of a prime. We consider the base set E k = {0, 1,..., k 1} as a finite field (Galois field) GF(k), and express a function defined on E k as a polynomial over GF(k). 18

19 QUIZ ( Easy ) 19

20 QUIZ ( Easy ) Given polynomials f, g over GF(2) ( i.e., f, g : Boolean function ) f(x, y) = x y + 1 g(x, y) = x y + x + y 20

21 QUIZ ( Easy ) Given polynomials f, g over GF(2) ( i.e., f, g : Boolean function ) f(x, y) = x y + 1 g(x, y) = x y + x + y QUESTION : Which is weaker, f or g? ( with respect to the productive power of functions ) 21

22 ANSWER : g is much weaker than f 22

23 ANSWER : g is much weaker than f Because : f(x, y) = NAND (x, y) g(x, y) = OR (x, y) 23

24 QUIZ ( Hard ) 24

25 QUIZ ( Hard ) Given polynomials u v w over GF(3) u(x, y) = x 2 y 2 + xy 2 + x 2 y + 2xy + x + y v(x, y) = x 2 y 2 + xy 2 + x 2 y + xy + x + y w(x, y) = x 2 y 2 + xy 2 + x 2 y + 2xy + x + y

26 QUIZ ( Hard ) Given polynomials u v w over GF(3) u(x, y) = x 2 y 2 + xy 2 + x 2 y + 2xy + x + y v(x, y) = x 2 y 2 + xy 2 + x 2 y + xy + x + y w(x, y) = x 2 y 2 + xy 2 + x 2 y + 2xy + x + y + 1 QUESTION : Which is the weakest among u v and w? ( with respect to the productive power of functions ) 26

27 ANSWER : u is the weakest. 27

28 ANSWER : u is the weakest. Because : (1) u(x, y) generates a minimal clone. (3) w(x, y) is Webb function which generates all functons. (2) v(x, y) is inbetween. 28

29 Our Hope!! To characterize polynomials generating minimal clones in terms of the form of polynomials or To discover principles or rules that are common to polynomials generating minimal clones

30 3 Basic Facts on Minimal Clones Lemma A minimal clone is generated by a single function, i.e., for any minimal clone C L k there exists f O k such that C = f Proposition For any f O k, suppose f satisfies the following : (i) (ii) f J k For h f, if h J k then f h Then f generates a minimal clone. 30

31 Type Theorem for Minimal Clones An function f on E k is minimal if (i) it generates a minimal clone, and (ii) every function from f whose arity is smaller than the arity of f is a projection 31

32 Type Theorem for Minimal Clones An function f on E k is minimal if (i) it generates a minimal clone, and (ii) every function from f whose arity is smaller than the arity of f is a projection Theorem ( I. G. Rosenberg, 1986 ; Inspired by Csákány s work,... ) Every minimal function is classified in one of the following five types: (1) Unary function (2) Idempotent binary function (3) Majority function (4) Semiprojection (5) If k = 2 m, the ternary function f(x, y, z) := x + y + z where E k ; + is an elementary 2-group 32

33 Note f(x 1,..., x n ) : idempotent f(x,..., x) = x for x E k 33

37 4 More Properties of Minimal Clones For f, g O k we write f g if g f ( Note : Binary relation on O k is a quasi-order ) Lemma Let f O (2) k be an essentially binary function. If f satisfies (1) and (2) then f is minimal. (1) f is idempotent (2) For any g O (m) k ( m 2 ) if f g then g is a projection or g f 37

38 Let m 3 and g O (m) k. We say g is a quasi-projection if g becomes a projection whenever two arguments of g are identified, i.e., if g(x 1,..., x i,..., x i,..., x m ) is always a projection. Lemma Let f O (2) k be a binary idempotent function. Then f is minimal (1) and (2) hold (1) For g O (2) k \ J k if f g then g f (2) For m 3 and g O (m) k \ J k if f g then g is not a quasiprojection. 38

39 For f O (2) k let Γ (x,y) f be : { f(f(x, y), x), f(f(x, y), y), f(x, f(x, y)), f(y, f(x, y)), f(f(x, y), f(y, x)) } Then let Γ f = Γ (x,y) f Γ (y,x) f Lemma Let f O (2) k be a binary idempotent function which is not a projection. Suppose that, for any γ Γ f, one of the following holds: γ(x, y) f(x, y) or γ(x, y) f(y, x) Then f is minimal ( Here, by h 1 (x, y) h 2 (x, y) we mean h 1 (x, y) = h 2 (x, y) for all (x, y) E 2 k ) 39

41 5 Polynomials generating Minimal Clones Here we consider only Binary Idempotent Minimal Functions Our Strategy Step 1 : Take arbitrary f(x, y) O (2) 3 from Csákány s list. Step 2 : Search for a polynomial g(x, y) O (2) k for k 3 whose counterpart for k = 3 is f(x, y) Step 3 : Examine if g is minimal. 41

42 (1) Linear Polynomials For k = 3, the binary linear polynomial is minimal. f(x, y) = 2x + 2y For k = 5, the binary linear polynomial f(x, y) = 2x + 4y is minimal, whose Cayley table is : f(x, y) = 2x + 4y x\y

43 Theorem (Á. Szendrei) Let k be a prime. Let f(x, y) be a binary linear polynomial on E k Then f is minimal if and only if f(x, y) = ax + (k + 1 a)y for some 1 < a < k Moreover, all such linear polynomials generate the same minimal clone. 43

44 (2) Monomials Consider x s y t for 1 s t < k For k = 3, f(x, y) = x y 2 is minimal. For k = 5, f(x, y) = x y 4 is minimal whose Cayley table is : f(x, y) = x y 4 x\y

45 Theorem Let k be a prime. (1) x y k 1 is a minimal function. (2) For any 1 < s < k 1, x s y k s is not a minimal function. 45
