We study the probabilistic degree over of the OR function on n variables. For , the -error probabilistic degree of any Boolean function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} over is the smallest nonnegative integer d such that the following holds: there exists a distribution P of polynomials of degree at most d such that for all , we have . It is known from the works of Tarui (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 1993) and Beigel, Reingold, and Spielman (Proc. 6th CCC 1991), that the -error probabilistic degree of the OR function is at most . Our first observation is that this can be improved to which is better for small values of . In all known constructions of probabilistic polynomials for the OR function (including the above improvement), the polynomials P in the support of the distribution P have the following special structure: where each Li(x1, … , xn) is a linear form in the variables x1, … , xn, that is, the polynomial is a product of affine forms. We show that the -error probabilistic degree of OR when restricted to polynomials of the above form is , thus matching the above upper bound (up to poly-logarithmic factors).

关于 OR 在实数上的概率度
我们研究了OR 函数对n 个变量的概率度。对于,任何布尔函数f的-error 概率度 :{0, 1} n → {0, 1} over是最小的非负整数d,使得以下成立:存在度数最多为d的多项式的分布P这样对于所有,我们有。从 Tarui ( Theoret. Comput. Sci. 1993) 和 Beigel, Reingold, and Spielman ( Proc. 6th CCC 1991) 的作品可知,OR 函数的-error 概率度至多为. 我们的第一个观察结果是,对于较小的 值,这可以改进为更好。在所有已知的对于该或函数的概率多项式(包括上述改善)的结构中,多项式P在支撑分布P具有如下特殊结构:其中每个大号我(X 1,..., X Ñ)为线性形式在变量x 1 , … , x n 中,即多项式是仿射形式的乘积。我们表明,当限制为上述形式的多项式时,OR的-error 概率度为,从而匹配上述上限(最多为多对数因子)。
