The finite shallow-circuit construction

The modular tests of Lecomte and Ramakrishnan [LR26] are conjunctions of symmetric two-block comparisons after signed input substitution. Their output AND gates can be merged, retaining the depth of a comparison. A small covering family of these tests is then joined by one OR layer.

Main results

• Cslib.Circuits.Boolean.ShallowSymmetric.exists_pairComparison: one comparison of two blocks.
• Cslib.Circuits.Boolean.ShallowSymmetric.exists_exact_altFormula: the exact-weight tests.
• Cslib.Circuits.Boolean.ShallowSymmetric.exists_symmetric_altFormula_succ: one step of the depth induction.

Exact-weight circuits obtained by covering every valid input with modular tests and placing one OR above the test family.
